Okay, I'll bite: why?[/quote:2c76a7ddff]

Because when i tried to date other asians in the past, chinese, japanese and viets...i got humilated by other koreans. Even the koreans who know me well threatened me by killing me and my gf if we got married. Damn, the koreans here are ignorant bastards. I can't believe the korean parents teach them that idea.

So, thats why i have to stick with koreans. In LA, i heard the koreans will date anyone. Here, its a hard line to cross. You got other koreans who will stare at you , at church and in other public places.

I dunno if they teach their kids to kill other Koreans who marry Koreans. I know they prefer to keep things "pure"...but I've never heard of them goin' off the deep end like that.

That's weird ImrkevinpakI. I dated more Korean women than I did Chinese women. And from my experience, their friends and their families were ok with it. Are you saying this happens in Korea?

The only problem that I encountered where the parents didn't really approve of me was that I am agnostic while she was raised Christian, not because I was Chinese.

They were my friends..not anymore.

I meant koreans who are racist and narrow minded in my area will make fun of other koreans who date outside their nationality. Parents teach their sons/daughters not to date outside. Guess its because they see alot of korean girls with white guys and that pisses them off.

I dated some chinese girls in the past and they were real nice. Some of my friends had stereotypes about why they were bitchy and i told him, all girls have mood swings once in a while...j/k

Somehow , some korean parents don't like that idea. The only ones who don't have that problems are the nice koreans or the ones who are married to outside their race themselves.

I don't think they should be labeled sell-outs. It depends on people's intentions though, but overall, no.

Asians that are dating a person thats another race because they are or at least think they are in love then congrats in your relationship! But if you are one of those pepole trying to have a mixed kid for the hell of it or because it's the "in thing" then it could be considered as selling out. It depends on your real intentions.

I actually knew a person who just thought mixed kids were so cute... but now that i think about it, who would want to fall in love with someone whose intentions are to have these children? ick ick.... Personally, I think all children are a blessing. It's amazing what narrow-minded people can think and do....

hahhahhah!!

hey i'm actually 1/16th english. do i count as being mixed? :P my great-great-grandmother was english. my great-great-grandfather went to work in england, married an english woman, and had some kids there. later, he convinced her to go back to china with him, saying how china was so much fun and everything, but in reality, things were really tough back then. to add to that, when she got to china, she found out that he already had a wife there. but she still stayed in china for years without knowing how to speak cantonese. she went back to england only when she was very old. even my grandmother (her granddaughter) remembers her.

Doesn't matter who I have kids with, the kids are gonna be mixed-race anyway. Might as well be ready for it.

i know lots of people who are like this....i.e., all my friends growing up. pretty bad, eh? everyone wanted a white boyfriend just because they wanted to have cute little hapa kids. and, of course, they're perspective of 'cute', again, has to do with society defining beauty as 'white beauty'.

hey question:

is it true that "hapa" is actually used derogatorily in japan? my irish american friend has a sister who is married to a japanese professor and they live in japan. she said that her hapa nephew and niece (they are little kids) get picked on for being mixed and the kids call them "hapa" as an insult. when i said that alot of mixed asian american people, even non-japanese ones, identify themselves as "hapa" with a sort of pride, she was totally surprised.

When I was a kid on the East Coast, I grew up with the term to describe myself as AmerAsian. It's what my mom told me I was so I used it. I moved to the West Coast when I was about 18 and hooked up with some people in the Japanese-American community. Some were Hawaiian. That's where I heard the term hapa and hapahoule. I use hapa around ABCs, hapa and other various Asians who I think will know the term. I use eurasian or AmerAsian around Americans, or if they get really confused I just say think of me as Hawaiian if it makes it easier.

Around Asia-Asians, I use foreigner or American to describe myself. There is an archaic term in Japanese, konketsu, that literally means mixed blood and has conotations of a racial epithet. Never heard of the hapa thing being used as an insult and I'm really surprised that the kids were made fun of for being mixed. Usually white mixed Japanese are treated like celebrities. I know some halfsies in Taiwan that are picked on.

Hapa isn't really a pride thing for me. It's just better than AmerAsian or 'other' IMHO. I'll change my description based on who I'm talking to and the terms they'll understand or prefer.

It could totally be possible that hapa could be used as a epithet. In Japan, unless you are 100% from Japan Japanese, you can be labeled a foreigner or face discrimination. I know nisei who are rejected as foreign trash by their own relatives. Fucked up, huh?

well my friend said that her sister and brother-in-law live in an area that's not very urban. maybe that explains it.

about 40% of world's population lives in India or China. neither of those countries accepts immigrants on a large scale. ergo, mixed-race marriages and births as a percentage of total population is almost non-existant.

in contrast, most countries with a large mixed-race population or many mixed-race marriages relative to population size, also have a falling overall birthrate.

don't need to justify being mixed-race by claiming "one day the whole world will look like me."
