| I'm white, my husband is Chinese...I can think of three separate couples I know of the same combination. |

That was my first thought, too. Again? |

It's not as common but not exactly rare. Both my brothers (Korean) are married to white women as are all the Chinese guys I know including a neighbor who is married to an AA woman. In fact, I don't know many Asians other than people my parents age or who are not recent immigrants who are married to other Asians. Interracial seems to be the norm for both males and females. |

I'm a Black woman who has dated a half Chinese/half Jewish guy who was big and tall with curly hair and bronze skin. I think people might've assumed him to be Puerto Rican or Cuban though. Clicked instantly, race never an issue. Agree that it's odd pair to see.
In HS (2001 or so), a Korean male classmate and I were running late for a field trip in DC and took the Metro together. On the train, I kept noticing stares. At first I figured maybe we were giggling too hard. So I'd forget about it and then look up to someone else watching us. Nothing offensive, but I kept wondering if I had something odd on my face or a stain on my clothing. We transferred trains and it was the same thing. As we exited the Metro station, it was raining and we had to share an umbrella and we got stares from practically everyone to the point where I looked up to ask him if he noticed anything odd going on and it hit me that people probably thought we were a couple! Particularly as we shared my tiny umbrella. It was then that it occurred to me that I had only seen one other AA woman/Asian male pairing. A few years later, I remember being in LA for the first time and having a few Asian guys approach my friends and me on Sunset. I actually looked behind me, because I thought they must have been talking to other women.lol |

| My sister in law, who is Black, married a Korean man. They live in Los Angeles where they don't receive stares. |

They must not live in K-Town, then, or anywhere heavily populated by Koreans. They would get stares. I say this as a Korean originally from LA. |
