[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My (white) son is dating a South Asian woman and I get the impression her family is Not. Happy.

Any tips?[/quote]

It's actually a good sign that her family even knows about your son.  Has he met her family?[/quote]

Funny you ask. They found out unintentionally pretty early in the relationship, and while I don't have all of the details, dad made it pretty clear to my son that they were opposed to the relationship. They have continued nevertheless - I have no idea what the daughter is or is not telling her parents.[/quote]

They'll cave. They have to oppose it at first- they would not be good Indian parents if they didn't. Then, once it's determined that the relationship is actually serious and your son wants to marry their daughter not just date ( aka have a good time with her) they'll happily make him part of the family.

Note, this will not happen if you're son is a loser without a good job that doesn't pay enough to support a family. But as long as he's educated and in a respectable profession it will be fine. That doesn't mean he would have to be a doctor or a lawyer, just a good career with a good education so they could have stability in married life.

They would not be good Indian parents if they were not racist? I'm so glad I wasn't brought up in your messed up culture. 
I don't understand immigrants who grow up here and insist their children marry within their race. [/quote]

No dingbat.

They would oppose ANY guy that dates their daughter. To them, dating is a frivolous activity that benefits the guy in the relationship more than the girl. Guy gets action without commitment to marriage.

You don't understand when Italians want their kids to marry other Italians or when Jewish people want their kids to marry Jewish people? You must really find those "Christian Mingle" sights offensive. For most Indians, culture, religion, language, and food are all intertwined. It's accepting that loss that is hard for them, not rascism.

But go ahead and be hateful towards non-Eurocentric cultures. I get that's also part of your messed up culture.

Yeah whatever. Italians and Jewish people are not nearly as extreme about this.
