Why is White guy/Asian girl couple so rare??

I agree. 45% of my school is south asian (actual stat) and there's an obvious segregation. Having said that, for some reason, the south-asian community in Glasgow is awfully close-knit. I'm the only asian in the entire school who doesn't have asian friends. And I'm described as 'racist to (my) own race' :P.

I think it's a cultural thing. The girls will have grown up knowing that their parents would never accept a white son-in-law so they've just sort of learned to prefer it? I don't really understand it, I tend not to like south-asian guys/girls. But I think it's a Glasgow thing to be honest. I found London wasn't as intense in this way.

To be honest, OP, you probably don't want to be with the kind of girls I know that prefer south-asian guys.

EDIT: I hope no-one takes offense to that. There will be many interesting south-asians I'm sure. I just haven't met many.

We're not missing anything since we prefer men of our own race.

And what's wrong with these girls that prefer south-asian guys? I personally prefer white guys but a lot of my friends prefer south-asian guys. And these girls are lovely and decent and just as normal as anybody. I know you are trying to come across as open-minded but your post has strong undertones of self-hatred.

Oooh aren't you cool? You seem like somebody who is embarrassed about being South Asian, desperately trying to prove how 'White' you are. You actually seem proud of the fact that you don't like or hang out with Asians.

Just because an Asian comes from a racially narrow-minded family, it doesn't mean they've learnt to prefer their own race. Plenty of Asians I know from open-minded families prefer their own race too.

There's nothing wrong with them. I can only speak from my experiences and I've genuinely had terrible ones with those types of girls (esp. in the extended family). Like I said, a Glasgow thing. In the most south-asian populated areas (Polloksheilds/Ibrox), they're all the same. Seriously. They. Are.

I know exactly how that sounds, I don't rule people out because of their colour. It's just, I have to come to some sort of conclusion if I move school/house nine times, meet so many and find such a strong/consistent pattern. To be perfectly honest - you're going to hate me for this - but, IMO, they tend to be boring. I'm not saying that being attracted to asian guys makes one this way, I'm saying that the ones who are attracted to asian guys tend to be more immersed in the british-pakistani-culture (which is pretty crappy IMO). But, to be fair, I do think this applies more where there are more asians, as there is a culture of sorts.

I'm not thrashing their existence as a whole, but I'm only going to be honest. The slightly more passive ones are nice/decent, but I tend to find them uninteresting. And it's not like I judge them based on their colour, I give them chances. I really do.

I see your point though. I honestly don't actually know how/why this is. But I'm damn sure, for a lot of the time, it's true.

EDIT: I didn't say they weren't normal. They are - I'm not too sure what normal is but I'm gonna run with that. If anything, they're a little too 'normal' for me. But it's probably more me than them now that I think about it. I like eccentrics. What can I say?

My Husband is not the same race as me. I am of Indian origin born in the UK and my husband is White. I know a few couple like this where I live.

How did your parents and people in the Asian community find that kind of relationship?

P.S. Trust you to turn up just as I'm bigging up latinos, you tart

give them chances? aren't you nice?
ok you find the british pakistani culture boring. nothing wrong with that, you are entitled to your opinions but its your false superiority complex that's pissing me off right now. "ooooo i'm so weird and eccentric. i hang out with white people only so i'm sooooo different" that's how you sound right now. maybe you don't notice it nowbut i'm sure in a few years you are going to look back and cringe at how you were. i know that sounds condescending but honestly...your inferiority complex to white people is SO obvious and extremely embarrassing. i'm not one of those weird asians who are always going on about their culture and get defensive every time someone says bad things about their culture and country. your inferiority complex is just making me really really angry. and that's one of the things i hate about our culture. quite a few people have it and its embarrassing for the rest of us.

You are being unfairly harsh on Tara1 when you yourself have confessed to preferring white over asian guys. Maybe she just likes hanging out with white people because she has more in common with them. No need to generalie her comments. Just because you don't connect with parts of your background does not make you have an inferiority complex or you hate your race. If i like out hanging with some Pakistani or Sri Lankan people more than I do with some Indians that doesn't make me a self hater or against my Indian race, does it?

I'm half white/half Chinese and I tend to be attracted to white, middle eastern (Lebanese, Egyptian, Israeli etc), Pakistani or some Indian guys.

I think I prefer middle eastern/Pakistani but many are Muslim and I don't think they'd have a serious relationship with a non Muslim. Sigh

Ofcourse not. And yes I prefer white guys but not because I feel like I need to suck up to them. I just like their look more. And its not just about her saying that she likes to hang out with white people more than brown. Hey go ahead its fine BUT it wasn't that alone. Its some of the other things she said that made me think she is self-hating. "I like eccentric people" Yeah because no brown person is eccentric. She thinks Pakistani culture is boring. Fine. But to use her opinion on her culture to judge those girls and then to say that to OP as if its fact is wrong. In short if you look at each thing she said, it doesn't look bad. Put it all together and I think there is quite a bit of self-hatred going on. And I honestly don't see how EVERY SINGLE asian person she has come across can be that way? I really don't.

I'm not saying anything your preferences that's totally up to you. Plenty of Indian guys prefer caucasian females and so its natural Indian girls would also have similar preferences. Perhaps she finds that the eccentricity she is attracted to is only in white guys just like the look you have is only in white guys. Why does it have to be different?
She can have opinions on cultures. Pakistani culture is not homogenous it depends on the people involved as well. Why does it become anti-asian if she doesn't identify with her culture.
I don't think there is self hatred just difference in opinion. To be honest i think for making such an accusation about Tara1 you owe her an apology.

No, it isn't just a cultural thing. Yes, I am an Asian female (British citizen) and I genuinely don't find White men good looking in the slightest. I just don't like their skin colour, hair colour and facial features: pale blotchy skin, small eyes, thin lips etc. Most of my fellow Asian female friends also feel the same.

Most people prefer their own race - isn't this obvious?
