  Give me a break! Is everybody ignorant? I’ve been reading these comments on here and what a disgrace that people actually still think like this. You are all brainwashed, with your parents and grandparents way of thinking. It’s your choice, you gonna be the one laying with them at night. You should be able to make that life decision without the judgment. Who gives a fuck what people think! You keep the culture alive if you choose to. It’s no big deal, we all gonna die anyway so with all this culture talk, I ask you when you die, what will follow you to the grave?

  hi all
  just been reading all the comments one after the other, and read them again few times so far just to be clear of what Iam reading, and getting myself into.

  just a small intro of myself before I write comment on other peoples comments.

  Iam half Japanese, half Korean, with Step Father who is Australia/English, if i do go back my family tree from my mothers side (Korean) im 1/3 Chinese, 1/3 Japanese, and 1/3 Korean.

  it is true that many, or some Ethnic groups don’t like/hate mix marriage, and chances are, there will be either the Father/Mother, Brothers/Sisters from one family who speaks ill of other Ethnic side.

  this is an example of my family, and my past.
  my father married to a Korean woman (my mother), he became the outsider of the family from his side, next was my mother, her family didnt cast her out, but her father, and her mothers side families did, which i have never met.

  my Fathers side did not talk to our family for 5 years, let alone a letter, (at this time i was still living in Japan with both parents) but his sister who adored my Mother, and the Korean culture didnt give a dam about mix marriage, rather she was happy for both my father and mother. as growing up in Japan, i was looked down by other Japanese people who are pure blood (there is no such thing as pure blood in Japan for past 900 years) and make things more complicated, i was not allowed to meet other kids from school by their parents (the place i lived was a small village), and this is only Japan so far.

  Every school holiday i had in Japan, my father would send me to Korea because of the cultural problems, my 2nd oldest uncle in Korea would send me to Korean Language school for under 10, but was for only the kids who were having hard time learning their own language (Korean), i went there for less then a month, after my uncle saw me getting spitted at me for been a half Japanese. i lived like this for 9 years untill i moved to Australia with my Mother.

  where my Mother, and I lived was a place full of Chinese, mix Chinese, and Koreans, and few Aussies. the school i went to was mainly wogs, and Asians, (funy enough there were only 5 Korean kids all up) the Korean family who found about my background out swear at me, spit at me, and throw rocks at me (rocks sure did hurt), this went on for 4 month before my mother found different school for me to attend.

  Since there is lots of old fashioned Koreans, and Japanese live in Australia, i was pushed around for been a halfy.

  this only stopped after i got into high school (Junior High), having 2nd Gen Koreans with a large family who are open minded, and so was the Japanese sides.

  I am proud to say im Christian, and I also go to Church on Saturdays (cant handle all day at Church on Sundays so I just dont go on Sundays) and funny enough I go to Full Korean church, there are few who doesnt like me because im half Japanese.
  i live with it, and im used to been hated for been a dam halfling.

  skipping other parts of my life story, I have Armenian girl friend whom I love very much, I know that her parents (lives in Iran) doesnt know that us 2 are going out at the moment, which will change soon… Im sure her parents will hate for going out with their youngest daughter… but thats besides the point

  the society have changed so much since 1980’s. where people mix marry, and there are so many families who are happy even they are in mix marriage, let alone dating.

  I do want to marry my girl friend, and I am willing to wait for her parents to say yes to it, i dont want to get married to her while her family disown her.

  this is question to all the people who have read, or will be reading this thread.

  there is Armenian male, and Armenian female, female wants to marry other Ethnic Christian man as both loves each other very much, but her parents force marry the Armenian male, so that there will be a future for Armenia, werent the parents be torturing their daughter? she will be forced to have children with the person who she does not love, and must because of her parents? is that something you want your children to go through?

  what does the mother will say to her children when they grow up, “I dont like you father, but was forced to get married and have you” i dought any mother would say such a thing, but hey, who knows.

  even though i have written these comments, i agree with Armenians who wants to keep their country for the future kids, and i also agree with Armenians who wants to go through mix marriage, good luck with your marriage, and those who wants pure Armenian culture, then you guys should read about the actual history of Mesoamerica, who they died out, and think again what you guys are really doing

      to Sanchez,
      my gf n i have been together since, i met her parents few years ago, and her fsmily too.
      so far we havent married as yet, due to jobs n money needed for wedding (so damn expensive)
      her father wasnt happy that i wasnt armenian, but, he was happy for his daughter that i am a christian, also, mother, and her 2 older sisters r happy, but the oldest brother inlaw is not, and he has stopped talking to his family altogether.

      at this point, we r working on getting a cafe set up, and then get married once enough money lol.

  breaking the tree ay? thats a really nuce of saying it.

  i have left comment here back on sept 2010, i am proud to say my gfs parents have agreed for our relationship, they would have said no if i wasnt christian, from wat my gfs sister tells me.

  at the moment i am studing to get better job so that i can marry her, also i really need to earn more then $570per week lol.

  dont be ashamed of the elders, respect n listen to their words, as it is a wisdom. they have lived long, have seen the world change, mix or nonmix will always be the same, culture will only die if u let it sit inside the box (as an example) reason with ur parents if u really want to marry into other culture, even if that takes years, if ur lover is willing to wait, use that time to talk with ur parents n grand parents, give time n space, people will change the way they live or tge way they think, just like my gfs parents.

  i do pray for those people who wants to marry other culture.

  ps never forget ur own culture n history, teach ur childern the culture u were born in, always teach the mother language (i womt be teaching any of my language to my kids)
