My girlfriend and I both love each other to death. I'm part chinese, part filipino, part spanish. The problem is that some people don't approve of the relationship because I'm not a purebreed like her. (She is Chinese through and through on both sides). She tells me that her mother says I'm a good enough guy for her (my girl) but she (her mom) doesn't want us to continue dating because she's (her mom) afraid of what other people will say (i.e. other less tolerant, racist, elitist Chinese who think that not marrying Chinese would tarnish tradition as well as reputation)
I understand that Chinese parents want their children to be with fellow Chinese for a number of things (i.e. MONEY, heritage, and having fellow Chinese as in laws) but I feel that if we stop being together, we'dve stopped for a terrible reason.
What can I do to make it work? I can't just accept it as a part of this unfair world. She's the best thing to ever happen to me and I just can't let it pass me by. Please help..
