you would think in this time and age, the very notion of an Interracial Couple would be transparent, and that it would be a non-issue. After all, it's supposed to be about the equality of all beings and races.
And yet, I just recently attended a very large family gathering (over 70 people) and I noticed the distinct lack of racial diversity. To be blunt - there were no white folks present (or any other non-asians, for that matter). I understand that there is a certain comfort in marrying inside one's cultural circle; there is a language connection, a cuisine connection, a common vocabulary.
I myself have gone almost the opposite way; and not dated asians at all.
