[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]

OP here.  Nooooo.  I know that the "self-hate theory" has a lot of traction with people who, for whatever reason, are bothered by IR relationships.  It is a comforting and pat answer.  But it's like a theory of racism, it's a hateful theory and prejudiced.

People in America intermarry.  Look, you are 18, 19, 20, 21, young, attractive, healthy, energetic, and on the prowl for a mate.  You are in HS, you get your first job, you go to college, whatever.  And you are surrounded by other young, healthy, attractive people, and many of them are NOT of your race!  In the case of Asians and Jews, small minority populations, MOST of the people you interact with are not of your ethnicity, assuming you are not particularly clannish.  In this hot and hormonal environment, IR hookups are just going to happen, ok?  And some of them are going to lead to marriages and little mixed kids running around.

I personally think anti-miscegenation is an awful thing, and you should really stop it.[/quote]
