Having spent most of my life alternating between dating/crushing on black men and white men (never a full Asian), and now being married to a Costa Rican with pierced ears, my mother and I have had many… animated conversations about race relations in relationships involving a Chinese person. When people tell you there ain’t nobody more racist than a Hardass Asian Mom, you better believe that.
So what’s a Chinese-American daughter to do? Create an infographic, of course! My distillation of my mother’s order of preferences below. (And please God, I hope she doesn’t see this, because she might “be ashame.”) Oh, and disclaimer: I love my mom, but I didn’t grow up with her. My single Tiger Dad wasn’t so concerned with the race of my boyfriends so much as me having boyfriends at all.
