Something still doesn't sit right with me about it.
Each to their own I suppose. I know people who have gone to India to get married, probably more common for the Men to do this, but I also know a few Women who have done the same thing.

Well, my last girlfriend was a Japanese exchange student so I guess I just don't have the same problem with cultural differences as the OP. I just think that there are more important critereon to a relationship than having been brought up in the same country I know I'm being a little facetious but I'm sure you understand where I'm coming from. I, for example, spent from just after my birth until around 14 years old in a variety of different countries and didn't actually spend more than a few weeks holiday in the UK but I am very much British even without having been here the majority of my life.

What, would you say, makes you very much British as opposed to anything else?
I don't think not being brought up in the same country is as much of a problem than just not understanding the norms and values of someone from somewhere else. If someone can understand and appreciate then it's all good.

I expect no buses at all then 3 at a time
Sarcasm, maybe?
Probably the fact that my family is British and when we went to a new country we always introduced ourselves as British. It's been my identity through my childhood. My dad was also always representing Britain wherever we went so I guess that counts too.

She's Indian from what I gather and therefore probably means FOTB brown asians. I guess the generalisations are that they're using you to try and get a passport, they tend to have 'backward' views of women and are apparently overprotective (like prevents their girlfriends going out to clubs and partying and whatnot) because of the society they lived in, etc.

I don't think British Asians have an issue with other races being from other nations
I think it's specifically other Asians being fresh off the boat.
if an Asian guy was from Australia and an Asian girl was from England I doubt it would be viewed in the same way.
