I am bi-racial, Asian/White, and grew up in The South in the 60's. During the Vietnam War was a really tough time to be Asian looking in The South. I was called everthing from Gook to Ho-Chi-Minh by white kids who had relatives in the war.......
I can only imagine. Was/is the Asian side of your family more open to the Bi-Racial bit than the white?
I tried to date a Chinese girl once and have a feeling the family put an end to it. Either that, or she knew she could do better :)
