Interracial dating can work

Despite America being a melting pot, believe it or not, the number of interracial couples is still miniscule. The encouraging news is that it is slowly, but steadily growing. In addition to that, the society is increasingly more accepting of such relationships.

From time to time we try to highlight stories of couples in such relationships. So here is our latest story which we thought we was truly beautiful story of passionate love among two people of rather different backgrounds. Arianna is in her early 20s and lives in New York City.

Photo of a Caucasian woman and an Asian woman"I have a boyfriend who is half Japanese and half Chinese. I live in New York. We met in our school, which has a very diverse population, about 30% Asian. When we first met, it didn't go anywhere, but then by an accident, through a common acquaintance, we were re-introduced online, and whoaaa did we click well! We ended up talking for 10 hours straight, yes 10 hours straight! We literally became friends in 20 minutes. He was born and raised in New York City, so there might have not been as much differences between us, as there would be if he were not born here.

I, myself an immigrant, come from Ukraine. I've been living in the US for only 5-6 years. The racial groups in our school form cliques, and it is not common to see interracial couples especially between Asians and Whites, as one would expect from New York City. We've seen about two White guy-Asian girl couples, but we're the only White girl-Asian guy couple in our school so far. Some Asian people in our school are not very comfortable with us, and think it's strange that we're together, but not all think so. In fact some Asians actually envy us and have come to us and openly wished that they would like to do the same.

Every time we see a white girl with an Asian guy somewhere in public, we always point them out to each other, "Look, they're like us!" Between us, we don't really notice our racial differences, but when we do, we appreciate them. His parents aren't objecting that he is with me, but they would rather I were Asian. I never thought that I would have an Asian boyfriend; it's something that just happened. I even remember distinctly talking to my friend, asking each other if we'd date an Asian guy, and I remember saying, very doubting, "Oh, I don't know....". Me and him are soooo close; we always wonder if there's a couple who are as open to each other as we are."
