Gilda

I'm married to a Hawaiian woman of Japanese descent, and her parents have never had the slightest problem with my being white, perhaps because once you accept that your daughter is a lesbian, the race thing is a small hurdle.

My parents, if they could get past the lesbian thing, would have objected to my dating an Asian guy, but would have less objection to my brother dating an Asian girl. I'm not sure why, except maybe there's a perception that the male is a stronger influence in transmission of the culture than the female, as evidenced by the tradition of the female taking the male's name.
