This...I hate to say this happened to me but it did. This is how I actually came to find this blog. I was dating, then living with, and then raising the children of a korean man I loved. I was good enough for years to be the adoptive mom and long term fiance but the time came when he parents said flat out they would never accept me and would not pass on the family business unless she was korean. He was not a strong man and complied. He married the girl they picked out, the one they said would help further the family and business, and every day I still hear how miserable he and the kids are. Not to mention me :(bonincontrushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00194275353102448082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36405856.post-6059256614385486882011-06-07T20:55:33.813-04:002011-06-07T20:55:33.813-04:00It's sad that some parents feel this way, but ...It's sad that some parents feel this way, but at the same time I highly doubt the reason to parents wanting their children marrying someone of the same ethnicity is because their race is somehow superior to others (most of the time). It's probably to keep the tradition within the family and for the parents to communicate easier with their children's spouses (if first generation immigrants).DTBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00138574147923684427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36405856.post-75138476277847876392011-06-07T12:17:43.071-04:002011-06-07T12:17:43.071-04:00My parents are also like this.

It is obviously irrational and when you try to argue the point with them this is very clear. They somehow feel like Chinese people are somehow better than other people, as if Chinese people can't be criminals, or do not have affairs.aahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00462984327347912415noreply@blogger.com
