U.C. San Diego Lines: 24 I'm writing this on an unfamilier editor, so please pardon the mistakes. I've been very interested in this discussion. I am male and Chinese. I was born in the U.S. (Madison, Wisconsin, of all places) and have always been surrounded by non-orientals. Most of my friends are white, and they all treat me as they would treat anyone else. My being Chinese only comes up sometimes when we're joking around. When I date, I am essentially race-blind, so I usually date white females. However, frequently, I don't feel comfortable on dates because it seems that others are hostile to the fact that a Chinese male is going out with a white female. Is this a real situation? Are people hostile to non-whites dating whites (Especially non-white males dating white females.)? Do people consider Orientals, hispanics, etc., to be non-white in male/female relationship (the case of black/white is the only one that usually gets discussed... when it does get discussed at all)? Or am I just paranoid? Please make comments; I'd like to know how people feel. --Alan J. Hu sdcsvax!hu P.S. I live in Southern California. I'd imagine that views on this subject vary greatly from region to region.
