This won't be a popular answer, but I understand where you are coming from. I black but I had a lot of asian friends and now people don't think I "act black" if people continue to mix then eventually everyone will get along and be like everyone else. which is nice in the long term. in the short term you have people who aren't accepted by their own race and don't really fit in with any other one. they get called "oreos" "twinkies" "apples" or "reverse oreos". I think it's splendid you son is reaching out and he should spend time with everyone, just make sure he doesn't alienate his own at the same time. cause while it may not be Politically correct that's just the way the real world operates.

Having an Asian friend is not a bad thing.He will learn different things about the Asian culture and your son can teach him things about the British culture.Our kids are the future,if they can get on well together now,there might be hope for racism not to exist in the future.

His own what? Are you really so sure your blood is pure? In fact, pure what? Depending on which country you are in, which part of the country you are in, it's highly unlikely you are pure anything! I'm South Coast of England, so I know for a fact I will have a mix of Anglo-Saxon, Norman (French), probably German, my dad looks a bit Meditteranean, so I should think Roman (Italian), my mother's side has ancestry from a Scottish Clan, and there is bound to be some more world-wide influences in there.
And in fact, Asian doesn't exactly narrow it down either - I work with contacts in Taiwan and Singapore, and can't wait to visit them again! I bet you mean Middle East - and that's just a silly reactionary attitude that you need to get over. And not pass it onto your kid either!
Dear me, you have some real issues you need to get over.

I have to say that in my part of England sticking to your own is almost impossible! If you don t let your child mix with Asians now how will he cope in the future. The future is a multi ethnic society.
My husbands best friend is a Hindu we are Catholic. His wedding was fascinating and his wife was so excited to come into our church of our children's baptisms. But more than that they are good people the sort of people I enjoy meeting down the pub on a sunny afternoon. (They are not strict Hindus obviously!)
We are all human! Asians too. Be kind to the boy have him over for dinner, go on you might like him!

I AM SORRY, BUT IT IS THE LIKES OF YOU WHO CAUSE PROBLEMS IN THE WORLD TODAY !! i would never tell my child to keep away from any kid of any culture or of any religion. i just hope that this asian kid doesnt end up with no friends because if the shoe were on the other foot im dam sure you wouldnt want your child to have no friends. my kids are brought up to treat EVERYONE the same regardless. the only differece is skin colour. you know like you get red apples and green apples ! there both apples arent they !!!!! well humans are humans.....with feelings and i bet youve just hurt the asian kid`s

You should be happy that your child is still able to judge the people he likes based on personality not colour.
If adults didnt feed young minds racist garbage then they would grow up to be open minded, excepting people and then the world would be a more peaceful one.
when you say' i'd rather he kept with his own ' it makes people with different coloured skin sound like they arent human beings.
i really think this is an apalling question but however im sure you will suceed in poisoning your little ones innocent mind.

some people dont agree with your question including me, is there a main reason why you dont like other races... if so maybe your son should invite this boy over and hopefully you'll see that everyones different. if you are determined to stop your son being friends with asians, send him to a school without asians durrr, or talk to him about why you dont want him being friends with this boy but either way your issues will probly interfere with you and your sons relationship....
hope this helps!

Okay Okay...yeah ya just tryin to look out for your own I can see that...BUT really Honey that is real racism and in this day and age it's not on....if he likes the boy and they get on well there is no problem, let him have his friends and enjoy their company regardless of his culture, colour or religion. I had a lot of Asian friends when I lived in Leicestershire and they were lovely people and I was invited for diner on lots of occasions and thoroughly enjoyed myself and was always made to feel welcome and part of the family so to speak....Just get to know the boy, trust me here he will be lovely and will most likely turn out to be one of the best friends your boy could have.

What is he 'nice enough' for exactly? If you cannot see past the colour of a child's skin to the human underneath then you are in serious trouble. Perhaps you need to spend time with the child(ren) yourself, you might just learn something.

Do you want to live in a divided society? Look at Israel/Palestine or Northern Ireland. Integration is the civilised way forward. We need to make friends with each other, integrate and learn from our differences. Do your son a favour let him open his eyes and mix with people of different backgrounds. He will become a better person for it. Segregation leads to inequity and hatred.
