I made it very clear to my parents as a youngster that I was NOT going to marry within the culture. It was NOT a possibility because I did not find Asian women attractive. My parents did not raise me as strict as your parents, but I do think that my own openness and communication to the situation was the key in making it work.
It will be hard, it will be uncomfortable. They want their traditions to stay intact. Figure out how important they are to YOUR life and how they fit into YOUR future family. Ultimately, it's up to you. I'd do anything that my mama asks of me except for those things that I've drawn the line. It sounds like you need to find where it is for you and your family.
Don't worry you'll get there, it may take a few years, but you'll get there over time.
