[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why don't you speak your parents native language with your children?  I know so many Asian women married to white men who give their children Anglo names and speak only English.  I wonder why they don't want to pass down their heritage.  It makes me wonder if the whole reason they marry white men is because they are trying to erase their Asian heritage.  This is why I ask,  I'd really like to know so I don't make these assumptions.  It just seems odd and I can't figure it out, especially when the grandparents almost always solely speak the native language.  How do these children communicate and learn from their grandparents with such language barriers?[/quote]

I'm guessing the reason OP ignored this question is because there may be some truth to the self hate theory.[/quote]

I bow down to you oh superior one.  :roll:

Let's see, many European ancestors of whites had their own language, but most didn't learn German, Polish, Gaelic, Dutch, Swedish from their parents and continue to pass it down.  Must be some truth to that self hate theory.

The recent European immigrants who speak their language try to teach it to their kids. 
I really think that racism has scared non-black minorities into a corner. They are so afraid that they will be victimized that they shed EVERYTHING. They also run as fast as possible away from other minorities including blacks. Racism has had collateral damage, Asians (and many black people) have not been enobled by the experience, rather they have submitted. Not all of course, I know many Asians who have made every efffort to preserve culture and marry each other with pride. [/quote]
