I'm in love with a Filipina girl, but her mother won't let us date because I'm white. Is this normal and what can I do about it?
What's normal is that I see a lot of white guys with Filipina girls around here, and normally Filipino parents are racist towards the brothas (I swear I am not kidding; and with all the Nancy Binay memes going around, are you actually surprised?). Filipinos, as a people who have long been seeking upward mobility, and their parents would love to have you as a future husband because that means money, that means nice things, that means trips abroad, and that means potential migration to the U.S. or the U.K. or wherever you came from. So no, man, that's not really normal, to the best of my knowledge.
(Also, there's nothing wrong with some interracial lovin' and I can personally vouch that our ladies are some of the most beautiful women in the world, but can I just say that God damn, you white people need to do better with your decision-making. I see some white-Filipina couples and I think, "Sir, was exoticness your only consideration in the selection process of your beloved?")
But here's the thing: foreigners, by experience, can be a nasty bunch. We are also a people who have been enslaved and/or taken over by white guys for around 330 years. Foreigners nowadays can be predators, liars, pedophiles, human traffickers, shit like that. I've read cases in law school of white guys who promised our women the world but failed to deliver. (If it's any consolation, it also goes the other way around - some of our women may and can abuse you.) So maybe that's where the distrust really comes from.
So if you're actually not pulling my leg here and are very serious about this, show your girl's momma that you are a nice white guy. There is nothing that can't possibly be won by trying and fighting for whatever it is you want and believe in. Keep your chin up, my friend, and get that.
Best of luck to you.
