My intention of this post isn’t to be offensive please take it down if you feel it is mods.
My partner is half white and to this day I still think he’s fully Indian I’ve told him this and it’s weird to see a picture of his mother I didn’t picture her as “white” …
It’s still kinda feels a bit weird seeing him as white. 
To me he’s Indian even though he says he’s not… He has a full Indian name too.
I mean… Why exactly does it matter?
I am very good at distinguishing between the features of different people. I can tell the difference between Americans, British, Australians, etc, by looking at them. Or I can tell that people are a cross of two different nationalities.
It can be weird. I’m mixed Syrian and white and I look fully white to most people. You just never know how genetics will mix.
As I said it wasn’t intent to offend … No the colour doesn’t matter but in a sense I can’t help why I think a certain way about it. I never pictured my partner to be not Indian. He was meant to be. Indian. That’s what my family wanted for me.
Syrian is considered “white” or Caucasian, @Ninjastar.
I agree but then some people don’t. Some of us came out very dark.
If it won’t cause conflict with your parents I don’t think you should worry too much.
If u lovr him u love him, whatever his colour. Hope ur family can be OK with that. If u two are happy together then I guess your family will see that n be happy for u?
Ok let me try to better explain this. As an Indian my parents expected me to date or marry an Indian. So I pictured my in laws to be Indian. Now I see they not even the same culture or religion it’s kind of weird but hard to explain.
Is your bf ashamed of his Indian ancestry?
I hope this is not the case.
Well it seems so. He hates anything to do with the country or culture … He thinks it’s a backward country …
This could be a problem.
He shouldn’t be ashamed, we should all love our skin. And we’re all okay the way we are:
Perhaps. He celebrates some traditions but even I agree on the things he says. But I still love the country. The difference is I can see positives too. While he never speaks of them. Every country has flaws.
Maybe you can teach him things about the Indian culture.
He should feel proud.
He looks Indian from his pics here.
thank you @Wave I think I might have 80% convinced him to go India with me
Syrian’s are white? From what I’ve noticed.
I love different cultures. I never liked my own culture. I like certain things about it but I’ve lived in the western world for far too long. I only listen to English music. My own culture does not resonate with me.
I’m part Native American, enough to be in a tribe, and I look pure white. Our tribe is Lumbee and we can look white, black, or Native. We’re a mixed up tribe.
