The choice of one's partner or spouse is a very important thing in any race. And when it comes to interracial dating, this very personal decision can illicit lots of discussions, both negative and positive. Asian white dating isn't a new phenomenon and just like other interracial relationships, this interracial union hasn't escaped such debates – especially those that question the motives behind it. And in recent decades, there has been a great rise in Asian white dating and marriages, making a mark in the Asian American community. And most people try to find out why it seems like Asians choose to marry whites. Do they do it because they want to be fully westernized or to up their social status? These are some of the reasons sociologists have tried to come up with. The other reason is the fetishization of Asian women. If I start now I may never finish.

See, most of the reasons people give reinforce and perpetuate racial stereotypes against both Asians and whites in Asian white dating. And some of these stereotypes are some of the things coming in the way of many interracial unions. And to be honest, no one ever won a heart of any woman by turning her into some possession or object to be toyed around with – whether white or Asian or otherwise.

Which brings me to the point of writing this article: More often than not, the primary motivation behind Asian white dating is love and compatibility. At the same time, most of the Asians have become so in tune with the western culture that it only makes sense for them to fall in love with men or women they share this western culture with. Yes, interracial dating may seem complicated but, this doesn't have to be the case.

See, with Asian white dating, whether we like to believe it or not, its all about two compatible individuals who found each other. And when you find such a person, the last thing you should be worrying about is how people will stereotype your relationship. See, these relationships - much as physical attraction may come into play - are based on mutual love and respect and an appreciation and respect for the differences and similarities that exist within these two cultures. So it doesn't pay trying so much to find out why Asians date whites and vice versa. It pays to appreciate the beauty that lies underneath blending of cultures. It pays to appreciate that interracial love is a two-way kind of love.
