You were self conscious of dating an Asian chick?!
Freak!

I have an ex-girlfriend who was adopted from China and converted to Judaism when she was 2. Though she dresses totally Jewish and acts like it too, I was always slightly self-conscious in public with her because she doesn’t look like most Jews. I wouldn’t interdate, but that relationship made me realize that not all Jews look like me and that interracial dating is ok as long as its not interfaith.

Having dated white, black, hispanic and asian women I can say one thing for sure: they are all equally crazy once a month. (ducks) All kidding aside, I think the skin color has nothing to do with a good relationship, its shared values more than anything else that make things work. My wife of 13 years is Japanese (and Jewish).

Marriage and breeding outside your local group is a great thing, not only do you get lots of instant conversation starters when you meet new people but you get a little refresh of the gene pool as well. Virtually zero chances of recessive genetic issues caused by generations of inbreeding.

Nice post. I once dated a foreigner and it just feels right all the time.

I dated outside race and religion. Of the two religion was more difficult except for a very sweet Black girl I was with. She got hell from her mother and sisters for dating a White guy. I got not quite as bad from my mother who said “Your grandfather would roll over in his grave if he knew he was going to have polka-dotted great-grandchildren.”

Eventually I not-dated and then married an Afro-Asian Gentile. Realizing that my parents were my past but she was my future was one of the most important lessons I ever learned.
