WHAT YOU SAY
[This page is closed to new input. --Ed.]
Love is love in all cultures, no matter what color your skin is, it applies to all in the same way. It makes one act irrational. It is intoxicating and has the ability to change a person's behavior. Once your are in love with someone, everything else seems unimportant such as the difference in culture and language. That is if those didn't bother you in the first place. A person who prefers to go out with someone in his/her own race will not have to deal with issues that interracial couples do. Such as society, and what friends and family will say or think about them. If you can truly love someone deeply and blindly such that love conquers all then you are truly a romantic. Sadly, not everyone thinks like that, and not everyone is willing to put up with society for loving someone outside their culture. These are some of the things that people consider before engaging themselves romantically with someone outside their race. I support and admire interracial couples that because of the love they have for each other, they are able to remain together despite what may come.
Unfortunately, I fell in love with a latina who was unable to look past the cultural differences. We started out as friends and it evolved to something more, but as it got deep and serious she stopped it. She was the only girl who treated me the best with honesty, loyalty, and care. However, she was not able to overcome the final obstacle. I am not mad at her nor felt that she lead me on because I know that she did really like me for a point in time and she was truthful to me. I will always remember her and she was the only girl that I went all out for. Maybe one day she can look past how her friends will percieve us and then we can be together. I will always think of her until I find someone who can treat me the same way as she did or better. Until then sweetie, I will always love you.

As a New Yorker, I've made friends with a lot of fun, lively and BEAUTIFUL Latin women. But like myself, I'm sure most of you intelligent people know that looks aren't everything. And while they all make great friends, I have yet to be romantically attracted to one. Living in such a metropolis, and I know this may sound a little funny, considering that I'm Chinese, but one like myself meets a lot of 'typical' Latin women (just like typical 'azn' chicks many of us know). I'll admit that Latin women are the loveliest creatures on the planet, but here (at least where I live), like Eliza Doolittle, they're a little unrefined. But don't get me wrong, I'm not insulting anyone's intelligence or singling out Latinos. It's all a matter of perspective, culture, and where a person was raised. Obviously, in a place like NYC, the rich live uptown, the poor live in the 'ghettos', the Asians in chinatowns. I find that a lot Latin people coming from 'el barrio' (and this is my observation only) for the most part express the same views on things like life, love, sex, etc... (popular culture destroys individualism) which at times can really challenge my beliefs. So I guess that's where the incompatibilities lie. I'm sure that what I said doesn't describe everybody, but I haven't met a Latina who breaks the mold.

Juana, LOL! Yadira said shes got a taino abuelita. Obviously she is not making it up. And even if she is? It does not really matter anyways. What is the big deal? You seem to be getting all worked up over nothing.

NewYorkCity}mami,
I hope your friendship is solid enough to survive even if things do not work out the way you want. My Latina friend of 3+ years confessed the same thing to me (I'm Chinese also) not too long ago. Although I loved her dearly as a friend, I gently told her that I could not return the same feelings (regardless of how beautiful she was). During the next few weeks she smiled/laughed less around me, and treated me with less 'love' than I was used to. I tried talking to her but she refused to open up to me anymore. I guess she was really angry with my decision. We haven't talked since. When we bump into each other, all that is exchanged is a smile and a Hello, as if we were just acquaintances.

"I wonder is it like that in asian culture?"
in the old countries especially, there have been known cases where the parents would disown their kids if they didn't get grandchildren.

"You will have to go up and approach her when she is off by herself."
maybe i should've explained better, but when i approach these girls on "latin night" they don't give me the time of the day. however, this one time i did manage to "dance" with this girl from spain, but i was stupid and forgot to get her number at the end.
