I'm myself half-Asian (China) and half-White (northern Europe), born and raised in Australia and in the United States, and then finally in Europe. So in every case, unless I date an Eurasian guy, I will end up in an interracial relationship. I've never seen myself as an Asian, despite my genetics really making me look like kind of Asian. Now, my parents are not that open. My father dislikes Jews so Jews are a no-no. My mother is scared of Arabs (even if they're not muslims) since she has seen a movie about some Iranian guy beating his American wife (yes and Iranians are not even Arabs to start with). I have few Middle-Eastern friends and she doesn't really want me to hang out with them. My mother doesn't want Blacks and Asians either. So there are only White people left. Living in a country with mostly White people, it's not a very big issue but it still bothers me. The rest of the world can't be that bad. I've dated for a couple of months a smart French guy. She didn't know that I was dating him but she knew him. My mother didn't like him because he was too short (180 cm at least, she said) and he was kind of unusual for a guy (he worries a lot). Nothing bad happened between us, but he's just too busy with his job so we're having a small "break" for maybe half year. So what I'm doing right now is that I'm not dating anyone for some time. I don't let myself go easily, anyway. I hope that my mom will get tired with her own bullshit after couple of years.

Yep. My mom is indeed Asian. And she sees Asian men in the exact same way. In her eyes, only White men are the closest to perfection (which is mostly associated with gentleman-like features).

My mother has seen Not Without my Daughter (long story made short: Iranian husband being awful with his American wife, and yes, Iranians are not Arabs). I remember how she told me to stay away from Arabs (and Blacks) when I was a little kid. On the other hand, I don't think it might bother my (Scandinavian) father at all. He just doesn't like Jews.
