I went out with a Chinese girl for nearly five years and her father often referred to me as "that foreign bastard", though never to my face. Just imagine if white families in the US or UK were to have the same attitude, it would be classed as white supremacist racism.

Honestly though, I think those same requirements are held by Chinese parents around the world. I was talking to some of my fellow Chinese female friends here in the U.S. and they have told me that they have been given similar preferences by their parents. I, on the other hand, am much more open-minded. I definitely wouldn't mind if my wife earned more than me or was more educated than me. Law school was definitely my backup plan, my first plan was and still is to marry rich.

Chinese hold customs and traditions in high regard. Marrying someone from the same culture would make for less disruptive clashes. Chinese also have a thing about legacy and offspring. They want continuity of the family line, preferably with offspring that *look* Chinese. MAx: Maybe it’s not so much racism as just wanting compatibility.

As the famous saying goes, you want something right, you gotta do it yourself. Any man that wishes to date my daughter(s) will have to fill up a form and attend a dinner cum interview at my house. Approval to date my daughter(s) lies entirely with me, and no appeals will be entertained. Of course, the Remington 24 Gauge shotgun would be by my side at all times. Rejected applicants who attempts to re-apply would then find themselves getting a really quick makeover, courtesy of the Remi. (For your information, self-defence and shooting a trespasser in the confinements of your place of residence is not a crime.) Cheers. Nah,
