Our Girlfriend's Parents

[Spitfire]

I won't be taking the Dad anywhere. I have no intrest what so ever in getting to know her Mother or her Father. And Mai doesn't care either
lol and I think offering your girlfriends Dad out to a strip club would get you yelled at no matter what culture

I know but what pisses me off more was that things were actually going great until then. I tried find some sort of common ground with him despite the fact that he scared the hell out of me. I said that I understand him being proud of his heritage, I said that I too am very proud of my Greek, Welsh and Irish backgrounds. There was a bit of an awkward moment when he said smugly to me "Oh really, what would you understand about national pride when you're from countries like that? What have they ever done?" and then in my slightly tipsy state I replied, "Well for one thing Greece conquered India".
I suggest that you, too try find some common ground. Explain that you understand where he's coming from even if you don't and say something like,"My parents are very similar".
Also, ask your girlfriend what your dad hates and slip that into the conversation somehow. For example, I found out that he loathed licking stamps, so at the bar I said, "Ewwww, this beer's gross, worse than the taste of a stamp."

Umm well both her parents hate me because I'm white. And when my girlfriend turns 18 she's leaving and never returning. So I don't think I have to get to know her Dad at all. I don't bend over backwards to please people. They either like me the way I am or sucks for them. There is no way I'm changeing who I am to please her parents. Mai likes me the way I am and doesn't want me to change so I don't have to. Her parents have nothing to hold against me. Their just mad because I'm with Mai and I'm not asian

Old cranks like that can not be reasoned with. I've seen it enough in this region to know. Hell, my parents would probobly disown me if I even went out with anyone who wasn't of their culture. Racism is the root of all evil and until a few generations die out, it will never go away.

People are people, period. And people like Mai's parent's do nothing but cause more hatred in this already hate filled world.

Exactly! I don't feel like trying to help them any longer. They destoryed their relationship with their daughter, that's theur fault. I used to tell Mai her parents arn't that bad. Then I met them...*sigh* I can't wait until Friday when I can see Mai again and give her, her present. Then she's going to be gone for a month >_<
