    I am just about as mixed as it gets...I am originally from Guyana, South America. My mother is black, white, and native american indian (she looks spanish) and my dad is chinese. Our culture is Caribbean so we cook a lot of caribbean/chinese foods. My oldest brother looks darker than my other brother and myself...in fact no one ever believes he's our older brother because he has dreds and we look spanish with thin straight hair. My husband is african american, but his dad's family are Dominican...so now I cook a lot of Chinese/Caribbean/Spanish foods...I love all the variety and the cultures, our son has a lot to learn about his background lol!

    My husband is Vietnamese. And 6' tall. We get some pretty strange looks! And very often when eating out get asked "separate or together" for the bill. that always pisses me off. If he were white and I was asian we wouldn't get that question.

    He makes some AWESOME food. And some vietnamese friends have invited us for thanksgiving dinner. I'm pretty sure there will be no turkey involved!

    This is really awesome!!!!! My Father is Cuban & my Mom is Cape Verdean & Native Amer/Black. You wouldn't know to look at me because I have med brown skin. I'm the darkest one in my family, parents and siblings are that beautiful "peaches n cream" complexion. I married a white guy(Irish,Scot& French) and my children also have "peaches n cream" complexion. Except for the youngest.....he definitely inherited his Father's Irish hue. LOL!!! Anyway........I think it's awesome that so many people see past color,heritage, & cultural barriers. My husband got on his knees and cried tears of gratitude when I introduced him to Lechon(Latino pig roast) None of my ethnicities have many healthy meals BUT THE FLAVORS.........AAAAAAHH YES THE FLAVORS!!!!! LOL

    LOL. I am also 6', and when we went to visit my wife's family in Vietnam, I was always stared at; while there, I never met anyone as tall or taller than me.

    My husband is the tallest among his brothers. He swears it is because he came to America when he was 10 and got better nutrition. But that's also funny because some of my nephews who are 100% vietnamese are 6'5" to 6'7" completely raised in USA - so there may be some truth to what he said about nutrition

    My wife is Puerto Rican. My family is typical European mutt heritage. Irish, German and French.
    Family gatherings are colorful with great food.
    Music is a mix of country, pop, hip hop, salsa and reggaeton.

    I just stick to the pernil and veggies. Skip the aroz con gondules.

    I am from South America and my husband is from Africa. His family didn't approve of our marriage either. I grew up cooking all different types of foods, very healthy. I was raised on fish, lentils, tofu and stir fry. Since we live in Los Angeles most of our friends are interracial too. I'm not great at cooking red meat and I've never made a casserole in my life (that's a midwestern U.S. thing).

    Oh wow this thread is amazing to see! I sometimes feel like I am the only one in this situation.
    I am white, raised of a socially functioning yet very hippyish parents. My honey is muslim Indian, raised in the US. We have similar agnostic views on religion.

    We have been seeing each other for going on two years and it is the most amazing relationship I have ever been in. We have so much in common and are so happy and are thinking serious. I know there will be some challenges in the family area, but I hope it will all end up smooth.

    He is also the reason I am on MFP! He showed me the app and has been so amazing about encouraging me to get back into shape. I love it because its not in a “I want a skinny girlfriend” kinda way, but rather a “yay I have a fitness buddy” kinda way.”

    My BF is 100% Filipino, I'm 1/2 black 1/2 white --he eats mostly Mexican food so I make that a lot but is willing to eat anything. We have completely different eating habits though so I"m not really affected by what he eats.

    My brother is married to a wonderful woman from Thailand. Whenever they have a family gathering, she makes all sorts of Thai dishes, has even asked my mom to help her learn how to make american meals because that's all the kids want to eat. I say those kids don't know what they're missing!
