  This is my response to Gunit’s post about interracial dating. I know I shouldn’t have, but I couldn’t hold my anger in anymore. He’s totally pissing me off! To Malaka!
  

  Waaaaaa kao…..Wow…where do I begin?

  Peter, Peter, Peter. All I can say is your arguments are faulty, at best.

  1. Fate isn’t based on race. If you’re paired by fate, you have no choice. If you limit yourself to only one race, then you’re not allowing yuan fen to happen.

  2. Not all white families will view you as ‘slanty-eyed and yellow-skinned’. Some will, some won’t. Some will care, some won’t. However, for every white family who notices their child is dating an Asian, there is an Asian family wondering who brought home the Gui Lo!

  3. I can name at least 10 white people who eat real Chinese food. Btw, I am not sure what you’re bitching about, you eat more American food than I do.

  In addition, what if you marry an Asian girl from an ethnic background? You could get a Korean paired with Cambodian, a Chinese paired with a Japanese, etc. Not all “Asian” food is similar. There’s still going to be issues with likes/dislikes. Same with “White” people. A French and a Russian eat totally different things, as do a German and a Greek.

  4. If a couple is in love, and interracial, there are usually comprimises. Hell, there are comprimises in any relationship. Besides, you live in Columbus, OH. Tell me where there are any real Chinese restaraunts you could actually hold a wedding at?

  If you marry a Japanese girl Peter, guess what if the wedding is about her, then I guess you’re eating Sushi.
  
  Did you ever stop and think that not all white people are the same? If you would have married me, we’d have had Chinese food. If you married my cousin, you’d have had a mix of Greek and Chinese. Stop being so stereotypical.

  5. This one really pisses me off. I can tell you wrote it completely based on bitterness, and no facts.

  There is no WHITE culture. Since this quote is about me, obviously ( A Greek/Russian girl who speaks fluent Chinese, come on now) I will answer directly.

  I was raised in the US just as long as you. I’d say that you and I have equal Chinese ability in terms of listening and speaking, with the exception of slang, which I know way more. Actually, fuck that, my Chinese is better than yours by far.  I have far surpassed you in reading and writing. Culturally, I know as much as you do, as I interact with Chinese more often than you do (you have mostly white friends, way more than I do, btw).

  I was raised in a ‘white family’; however, you failed to mention that I was raised Greek/Russian/Jewish. My mentality is Greek more than anything, not white. I can understand Greek and Russian and fit in well with them. I do not however, fit in well with “Americans”. I see a HUGE difference between Greeks and Americans.

  You were raised here, too. In fact, my friends from Taiwan considered you a xiang jiao. You know less Chinese than me, can’t read a Chinese menu, have more ‘white’ friends than I do, etc. Yet you want to refer to me as someone who ‘at the end of the day is still fucking WHITE’. Take a look in the mirror, biatch.

  6. We are 2 very different people. Race has nothing to do with it. I can gaurentee you that I could make it work just fine with another Chinese guy, or any guy I choose for that matter, if we’re compatible. Don’t be so quick to throw the race card.

  7.  Your ending points are faulty. Where’s your evidence? What are your conclusions based on?
  

  Bottom line: You stereotype way too much. This isn’t about Asian/White. There are many ethnicities in Asian race , as well as many ethnicities in the Caucasian race. A Chinese marrying a Japanese will have differences, so will a Greek marrying a Russian. Every ethnicity has it’s own culture, langauge, foods, customs, traditions, etc. It’s not so simple as an Asian and white thing.
