    If she can't accept you making friends with english people, then she shouldn't have brought you up in england.

    I can easily change my profile pic but I feel like my mum is going over the line! It is such a small thing but my mum got all so annoyed about it!!!! That guy is not even my BF... No matter how much I told her...

    I feel like I am insulted and I feel like I dont even have the right to choose who I hang out with... Then what if I was really going out with a white guy!??!? My mum would kill herself, she said!?

    I really want to do something as I have been compressed by the thoughts for so long!
    I believe that your mother is guilt-tripping you. Trust me, she will not kill herself.

    Your mum's views on the topic are clearly out-dated and it seems as if you've clearly acknowledged that.

    You can either confront her and tell her that you feel differently, or block her from the relevant social networking sites/applications that you use and then do what you want.

    Unlucky, I'm a BBC too, but I've told my parents time and time again that I'm effectively going to 'un-oriental' up our family tree. I'm not attracted to oriental girls AT ALL but the thing is, they are actually cool with it.

    The title of this thread sounds like something channel 4 would name one of its shows.

    Your mum must be from a small town, not to be so insulting this is the 21st century, do you have any siblings maybe you could ask them to back you up in front of her.

    Lol a bit to defend my mum She doesnt mind me making friends with English people LOL She couldnt do anything anyway

    What she could do is that she told me to go out with an Oriental looking guy LOL Thats insane! I have barely been friends with more than 10 guys like that in my entire life!!!

    She got pissed off as I stood close to that white guy and accidentally the photo looks like he was putting his arms around me LOL

    ... Its so hard you know, parents and your own thoughs...

    Not all. I know a number of chinese people with guys of difference races, and their families are absolutely fine with it.

    ask what is the problem with me having a white boy friend? This is so stupid no offence to your mum, but she should thank this country. England has probably done more than her original country would.

    Go out with a white guy, your mum will eventually get over it.

    I agreed to some extent! Some other oriental families are cool with my friends going out with non oriental people... However, the parents always prefer the oriental looking GF/ BF~!! They just know they cant do much to change their children' thoughts...

    My mum is not like that! My mum believes I would listen to my mum ... I tried to do everything well, at least in front of her, to make her happy.... but this silly tiny thing today just PISSED ME OFF!!!! It was sooo silly that I cant even believe how my mum even got started thinking abt it!

    Your mom needs to realise that this is your personal choice.

    Lucky you!!!! My brother has been struggling with this issue more than me! You know the whole thing abt passing on family surname right?!?!?!

    That is really really important to my whole big family from my grandmum to my mum to my aunt to my uncle....

    My bro grew up her and obviously has gone out with a few white girls... and everything I know has ended up badly as my bro cant overcome the whole family issue...

    LOL how come you are not into BBC or oriental girls? LOL Its more like I cannot be sure that I will love an BBC lol to me and my bro anw, I also of course cant say I am defo going to avoid ending up with another BBC
