Rigth! I am from Caribbean and my ex boyfriend is from Chad, Africa. I took so many ways from the family. Cooking, dancing, dressing and more.. It's very good going out of our culture, it's clever!

@@georgie9722 there really is nothing quite like learning to know and love another culture, for me at least. even more so if that culture is connecting you to a person you love, what's more beautiful than that?

@@sgtmian completely agree with you. For me it's only love that connects people first and the rest comes after.

As an INDIGENOUS NATIVE AMERICAN…who are you trying to convince yourself?

I’m an American and I have studied all things Korean for about 7 years. I have mixed feelings about Koreans marrying foreigners. S.Korea is not a very large country so, I can understand wanting to keep the pure blood line and culture, but on the other hand love is love and people should not feel forced to marry only from their race. Time will tell. Also any parent who would disown their own child for marrying a foreigner is not much of a parent to start with, so it would be your loss.

Old Koreans will soon get used to more foreigners marrying Korean citizens in their country in the next few years. Their birthrate is among the lowest in the world. Many industries will be in need of foreign workers. An example right now is their shipbuilding industry. I read somewhere 3000 foreign workers will soon be hired. There is also a suggestion that Korea may accept foreign domestic workers like in SG and HK so women can have a career, possibly have more babies and not be worried on who will take care of their kids at home. Facilities for the aged have increased while many pediatric clinics have closed. Therefore foreign caregivers may also be needed in the future. So interracial marriages with Koreans will be a big possibility.

She isn't intolerant, she is racist. Let's learn to say things as they are.

@@hanabiss She even said to maintain the blood line 😂

But the husband and wife were not narrow minded, the husband especially.

​@marissaancheta4080 All great points. Another is the fact that South Korea is practically an island and imports a LOT of things that aren't viable to produce in-house. They NEED foreign support. Therefore, it is my opinion that they should learn to be a little more tolerant of foreigners. Otherwise it looks like: foreign money is acceptable, but not foreign people 😕

Wow, racist AND sexist. I am so sorry that happened to you. I understand the cultural impact that had on the guy, but I kind of wish he stuck with his heart. These kinds of things are so upsetting to hear.

@@kriztincruz6012 Thank you! I never understood this kind of prejudice. But hey, at least I got out of it with one more foreign language and can cook amazing dishes for myself now :)

They're trash people. I'm sorry you went through that.

His parents are just trash. I know this sucked but you dodged a huge bullet for yourself. There is no pleasing people like them. Even if he married a Korean girl, they'll have something else to say about her.

At least you missed a bullet, they would have been the inlaws from hell if you married him and your children might not even be spared from their prejudice. Some people just have this mentality of being "superior" to other races and in Asian households family is super important. Strong family bonds is part of the culture. Sad to hear about this though, I hope you moved on find a better person soon. You deserve better. ❤

oh so beautiful 😭

Oh…. So sweet!!!

Instant tears! You are so fortunate.

😭🥺🥺🥺🥺

@@LOLA_LOVELESSI’m not crying😢 you’re crying!! 😂❤ that was beautiful. I teared up too.

I’m sorry for you to have gone through these experiences but one thing I can tell you is that you’re perfect just the way you are and there is nothing wrong with you if anything it is absolutely their loss 😊

it's crazy to me that there are still countries in which people are prejudiced against interracial marriages/mixed children as if genetic diversity wasn't literally awesome. i'm so sorry you had to go through all that. just know that there's nothing inherently wrong about being mixed and in some other countries people wouldn't even think about discriminating against you for that.

i’m really sorry they made you feel like that. i hope you’ve learned to see the beauty in being of two cultures despite their treatment, it’s hard to see the value in yourself sometimes when you’re made to feel less than as a child.

I'm so sad and sorry that you went through this. You are beautiful please stay strong and dont think otherwise 🤗

Omg this is traumatic Even been rejected by families 😢😢 My dear,it’s not your fault that you’re mix Don’t let anyone make you look down on yourself, You’re the true definition and evidence of LOVE ❤️ Love has no colour..

They’re actually representative of many Korean parents these days.

@@jiminswriter4209yeah it’s just that the older generation still have those ideas in mind because of the hardships since back then. Life was pretty hard and Korea only recently started thriving and back then there were very strong ideas of connection and family which is representative through the language. But things should start changing

Anything online you have to watch w a lots grain of salt due to click baiting and sensationalizing to make story. No different than msm in America

Korea is not more racist than any place to be honest. I traveled so many places and you can never completely get rid of stupid racists, but it’s honestly not as bad as people paint it, it just takes different forms and it may seem worse at times or better at times. There are always racists, but there are always racists everywhere else as well.

​@@presidenthwasa5505this is true but it can vary.

Koreans are generally friendly. I'm a black man who's lived here for over 4 years

at least, non of Koreans hurt or bully you physically because of your skin colour or race racism in Korea is all about prejudice by the western media and ignorance about other cultures but racism in other countries like Europe, America and Oceania are about ethnic hatred, violence and bullying, and even more serious things, related to your life

I would never marry a Korean woman because what you didn't mention was that you also need to get involved with the entire family not only that the mother would always speak behind my back with her daughter against me and no matter what I'm wrong and I'm going to be the victim in my opinion the Korean culture is one of the worst cultures in the world

I think that Korean only respect white and look down on others, hence they want to study abroad. But at home the sort of "white" who come isn't always as premium as the one in white countries. All Asian countries are highly xenophobic though when compared to Western (white) ones.

that’s very painful, i hope for both your sakes they can change their mind 💗 changing takes time, so don’t lose hope.

Don't give up, hearts and minds do change👍🏾👍🏾

I am so sorry, sending you strength ❤

I pray to God sincerely that everything goes best for u both from now & u both live happily always😊😊

It is not worth it. I understand that you may really love him but eventually he might give in as well or start resenting you for destroying his relationship with his parents. What happens when u get pregnant and have no support for you? The grandparents are going to use your kid against you and try to turn them on u.

​@@aventpianohaha agree with you both. It is sad you could disown own kid that had in your belly for 9 monthsp plua 18 years of watching them grow to be adults. Life is too short to hate especially your own flesh and blood. You can get rid of the spouse but your child is part of you. It is why never tatoo of lovers name on you.

disowning them is crazy😂

i mean if the person was a criminal or something like that it would be understandable but yeah lol

It sounds like a manipulation tactic, so many of those sorts of "parents" do that after brainwashing their child their whole life about how important they are. So then when they reject the child they will break up the relationship out of guilt and the parents win. The happiness of the child means nothing to them. Even a korean bride will not be treated great either, that's not how those kinds of parents are.

Yes same here! 🥰

@@PremierCCGuyMMXVI aw thank you so much ♡ very kind of you

I bet your sons/daughters will be so handsome and pretty gosh I want Korean skin so pretty huhuhuhu and smooth to look

I think they know how hard the marriage is. Marriage requires alot of work. Living with a person from same culture without language barrier is hard enough. Not to mention marring a foreigner brings another level of difficulties to marriage. As a parent, who wants to see her own kid facing all that?? What the old people are not aware is the ppl from western culture can't accept how much their spouse' parents get involved in marriage when they get married. I don't know anybody in the states calling her mother in law out of obligation. But that is pretty common in korea... without understanding each other's culture marriage will be definitely tough.

할머니 너무 멋있으세요 ❤

You are the best halmoni to study Korean! I wish my grandma did that. My American grandmother treated my mom like trash for 40 years until her passing. My mother did not go to her funeral. And I do not blame her. I’m glad you are not racist like my grandmother was. My grandmother never mistreated me, and my mother never spoke ill of her. But I could tell growing up and when I became an adult I confronted my grandmother on her mistreatment of my mom. My American grandfather accepted my mom with open arms. So I’m glad at least she got to have a real father in law who treated her like a daughter

A mixed person will face negativity in both countries.

You and your children will never be considered Korean by Koreans

How did you get to live there 😢? Guide plz ❤

@@CoolNumber1 😂 do you honestly think that it's easier for foreigners? I literally can't even defend myself agains the slander when they say that western girls have loose morals, are unfaithful, and will never understand Chinese culture. Even though I have done my very best to try to understand Chinese culture and to adopt their thinking, and though my Mandarin is not fluent, I'm improving every day. Though I am from a central EU country my husband never once tried to learn about my culture or language, but I try with his every day. Because my parents already love him, he doesn't have to try, but for his parents I'm always an outsider. During those two years, I wasn't even a person to them, as if I was not someone else's child. Just a grose obstacle for their child to overcome. They honestly thought I was brainwashing/seducing him, even though I waited for marriage with their son and never once was with another guy before then (more than most Chinese girls would do, I believe). But when they say disgusting things about me, I can only smile and nod because I can't logically defend myself. And you honestly think that them expecting you to have money is somehow worse? I had to win a national scholarship and decline to go to Stanford AND MIT before I was good enough for them. I understand having high standards for your child's partner, but you can't convince me that foreigners have it easier than native Chinese.

@@CoolNumber1 I never once said I hate my in-laws or that they are evil. No matter how they act towards me before, they are nice enough to me right now. However, I don't see how 'strictness' in a culture translates to : "it's okay to be racist if I feel like it...". That's some mental gymnastics.

@@CoolNumber1 ???????do you not see that those two things are dangerously close to the same thing? Some of the worst atrocities in history were performed under the guise of "pure bloodlines". Preserving bloodlines implies that the outsider would somehow 'dirty' their bloodline... though the same blood flows through all of us. If they can't see that... then I can't but see it for what it is.

@coolnumber1 preserving bloodline? Since when did a bunch of royal families start popping up? The line of thinking can easily be used to encourage other forms of segregation. Also Asian cultures has a lot of victim blaming, misogyny (including internalized misogyny) , sexism and bashing feminism which is one of the big factors for why the birth rates are tanking in the population. Crimes of r8pe, harassment and ass8ults are less likely to be reported or treated with seriousness in general but even more of this occurs in countries that are more patriarchal and conservative particularly among the older generations. I’ll never forget about the foreign woman who was being dragged to a love hotel in Japan by a strange man and people ignored her screaming and trying to get away. A cop came over, believed the lie the man told and ignored the victim because in some Asian people’s minds a foreigner is more “open minded”. That’s one of the big red flag phrases when traveling because it’s likely the person isn’t interested in the foreigner beyond a fetish indulgence or “testing a fantasy out without suppose consequences before choosing a woman of their county/race”.

@@itazuranakisu That's asian culture, build by both asian men and asian women. So don't act like it's the men fault. If you truly want the men to change, why dont every asian mothers raised their son to be the men they want them to be? Most asian mothers are so strict and controlling, tiger mom, thus their sons learn from their behavior. Just a bunch excuses. Asian sons behavior are mostly learn from their mothers because asian father are mostly working hard to provide the family and have no time to stay at home. Heck, even asian mothers prefer to have a son over a daugther, so shouldn't be asian women to be blame too? What a hypocrite. I remember my mom and her friends also prefer to have a son over a daughther. Lame, even you women back stabbed each other yet all you do is blame the men. Hypocrite. As for fetish, a lot of girl have fetish for korean guys too, but once again, your gonna blame korean men again. Hypocrite. Everything is men's fault, very cool. Not happy? Raised your son to be the man u want him to be then. If every mothers do that, you would solve the issue one generation. Instead of doing that, Asian mothers are strict and controlling, abuse their sons daily. Trust me, my asian mother would beat like no tommorow, while my dad was more chill, yet I never blame women despite my mom's behavior. Go raised your son to be the man you want him to be, and stop complainning. If you are a tiger mom, good luck, your son gonna mistreat women when he grow up and it will be you women fault.

So happy for u!

Yea at this point there should be no language barrier between you. For god sake learn Chinese! I will never understand why Americans(judging by your lack of learning a different language) do this. It’s insanity

I subscribe to a different thinking, let people follow their attraction for those they really love and those that make us happy. I've been told I'm a racist in my NY town I grew up in, simply because I don't feel any attraction to black girls, however I do like light skinned black girls and mixed Black/white girls. I like Asian and Hispanic, I like Latina as well. I don't really have a type when it comes to body, but I do feel more attracted to fit and curvy women.

this is me, like that is your child. if your love for your child isn’t unconditional why did you even have them?

Toxic parenting style where when your child doesn’t follow orders and you can’t control them you threaten abandonment. Fairly common unfortunately.

This is the type of parents that deserve to be abandoned.

so if your son wasn't a "serial" something, a one time offense would be okay for you?

@@_CL i dont think you understand the weight of being someones parent. Cutting contact with your child is the hardest decision a parent can make. Thats your blood, you raised that child, your life is about taking care of them. Its not easy even if they make a one time offense. Of course its disappointing but its just not that easy idk the bond a mother has with her child is just unbreakable (if its healthy of course)

You have quite an open minded family. My family here in Ireland are not open minded at all. I am in my early 30’s and when i was growing up we were told in no u certain terms that you “don’t come home with a black or a traveller” ( a traveller is what we call a type of Irish gypsy living here). How awful is that? The bias still exists here even though people will never admit it openly because no one wants to be accused of racism.

Finances matter a lot, and are the chief reason for divorce in most developed countries around the world. This is yet more proof that people in interracial relationships are just selfish, and they are not serious about life; preferring to act on short term lust and fetishization as compared to the strong foundation and self esteem that is created for children from same race relationships. As Jesus said in the Bible, in Matthew 7:24-27. A house made on a foundation of sand shall surely fall, but a house built on a foundation of stone will not.
