I am a white guy and I'm dating an Asian girl. My family, though all ivy league graduates, are pretty racist. When I told them that I was dating a Chinese girl, they were not pleased at all. I've been with my girlfriend for about 6 months and we both love each other. However, this family issue needs to be resolved. Here are my parents arguments as to why I shouldn't be with my girlfriend.
1) My genes are regressive so my kids will effectively be Asian and not European
2) Our cultures are not compatible
3) Our families won't get along
I think that their arguments are bullshit. Here are the arguments I have told my parents as to why they should like her
1) She's well educated (her and I both go to Harvard)
2) She believes in family values.
3) She is refined and always acts like a lady
4) She is kind, loving and compassionate
5) Today's world is a lot more accepting of interracial relationships than my parent's generation
They, unsurprisingly, don't accept any of my arguments so we find ourselves at a crossroads.
This family problem is also affecting my relationship. My girlfriend feels like crap because my parents always exclude her from family functions. However, my parents always include my brother's white Swedish girlfriend in all of the family functions. This year, my parents surprised me and my brother with an all-expenses paid trip to Paris. They told my brother to bring his girlfriend but they told me to leave my girlfriend out. Out of principle, I told them that they can go to France without me. She also has told me that this relationship is in serious trouble if I don't get this family thing resolved.
