You know how the U.S. is a nation of many imigrants,well it is more than likelly that a person from one culture or ethnisity ends up marrieng some one from another. What do you think? good? bad? something else? effect on family? aprobal by parents? kids?
I for ones are a mexican what do you think of me marring an asian man, or a white man, etc.
Thanks, if you put personal experiences that would be nice too. =)
but I'm not trying to "call all racial people" I was just wondering how it would be because most likly I will marry someone from another culture- which I find hella cool. =D Just give me your opininon. Thanks

I think its good if they really love each other. I mean, Love Conquers All, Right? But the crappy part is if it doesn't last. There's lots of culteral differences. Some cultures have very strict conditions on which a child has to be raised. So, if you ever get a divorce, you can get in a pretty big custody battle.
Parents tend to like their children to go with people raised with the same traditions and values, so that it doesn't cause any problems. That's not all parents though. It depends.
Basically, if you think that the relationship can truly last then go for it. Give it your all. But if you have doubts, then maybe you should reconsider it.
The good part about it is endless. You learn so much new stuff about tons of different traditions and cultures. Your children will be raised with so many things, it's a great thing. But in the end it all comes down to the person, if you love them. Then be with them. Simple.

as long as the two of you understand and respect each others cultures then there should be no problem.
for example:
a friend of my grandfather married a woman of Greek ancestry. Within the Greek immigrant culture, the business is the domain of the man and the home is the domain of the woman. She is responsible for taking care of the home and making sure the children are raised. What my grandfather's friend did not understand was that it didn't mean that he didn't have to do anything around the home. It meant that she didn't tell him how to manage his career and he didn't tell her how to run the home and if she said do it, he'd better do it or make one of the kids do it or hire someone to do it.
he misunderstood the culture and they wound up divorced.
understand and respect the culture and compromise where needed and it will all work out.

I am American and I married an Italian... a true Italian, from Sicily.
What do I think of it? Um... nothing, except if it works between both people then cultures shouldn't matter.
I am not in the habit of judging people based on their culture. I have a brain and so judging people based on the culture that they are is called racist.
Your question is basically calling out all judgmental racist people to answer... I for one, won't.
Ciao.

I was born and raised on a farm in Nebraska in the 40's and 50's. My wife was born and raised on Chicago's west side, same period. Very different cultures. Same race, but different nationalities, foods, languages, customs. She had TV in Chicago before we had electricity on the farm. She rode CTA, I rode my horse. We will celebrate 43rd anniv next month. It has been interesting and fun. In spite of our differences, our core values of religion, family, children, education, were all the same. I feel that is the important equation in a marriage, not skin color or nationality or ethnicity.
