My parents are strictly against any form of interracial dating even going to the lengths of stating it is wrong(without any other explanation or proof given)
personally I dont see anything wrong with it, if two people can be happy together then why not? There are so many people together who r eitehr forced to listened to their parents that are unhappy(this is out of a survey i read)
I think what parents are getting at is the long term ideas, they want let's say if it is a guy, a daughter-in-law that knows them, and how to act around them I guess. Cultural identity aspect of the couple needs to be retained. In our culture marriage doesn't mean two people coming together, it means two families coming together(what fun  ...note this doesn't mean two families live together, it's more symbolic gesture) and that is what I think parents are most concerned about. I mean if the girl is a perfectly acceptable, except race wise there isn't really a legitament factor that should enable people not to be together. I know a lot of people can be quite nasty about interracial dating when become adults, going to great lengths to show their disapproval, but still if they think about it, there isn't anything wrong with it in a whole. Maybe they are projecting on their own disaster relationship or marriage
