 Thanks Ann.  I have spoken with Marcy and will be doing a special post of swirling History makers.  I may do it around Black History Month, Women's History month or even before. We don't really need a special day or date to celebrate our contributions.

 JQAbroad "This is why I urge black women to travel".....I've always wanted to see the world. Lawd knows I still do but I'm scared nowadays.  That's one of my goals to see the world before I leave this earth.

I wonna experience different cultures, people, environments and so on. I pray that this come true soon even though I will be nervous and scared as hell. I just want to see some of gods beautiful creations...

 JQAbroad So true! And you are one lucky lady to have visited those places.

 AminahMatthews Traveling will always be scary, but once you reach your place of destination, it's like a breath of fresh air. You will never be the same again. The easiest way to live abroad is to teach English. If you can't move abroad sign up with travel agencies like cheaptickets, priceline, etc. They have great international deals every so often. Don't let fear prevent you from living your dreams!

 JQAbroad You are so right. And thanks for the info. Imma TRY to do this. I don't know when or how soon,but I would love to give it a try sometime in the future. Hopefully it will be in 2013. In fact, that's my New Years resolution along with living a stress/drama free life.

 JQAbroad I have been seriously considering that these days, going to school and eventually moving to another country.  It used to be a pipe dream for me, but now it is a definite possibility for various reasons.

 Right Bettie.  Some in Mississippi too and other southern states as Chinese workers came to work on the rail roads and intermarried with black women, Mexican and Native American women.  I don't understand the deep racism that did not allow Chinese men to bring wives.  So many married local women.  It is nothing to see dark skinned people whose last names are Wong and Chang. I know this is very common in Jamaica and Trinidad too.  Actually all over the Caribbean as you stated.  Thanks for sharing that tidbit.

 My dads side is like that.  Every one of his siblings has at least one kid that still shows some asiatic traits,  like coarse black hair and monolids,  some cousins, aunt, and uncles look blasian.

 You are forward thinking and progressive, and you have your Blasian love.  Although we are seeing it more and more, too many sisters have drank the koolaid.  These stories and pics of the sisters with their loves prove that some are indeed exercising their options.  You are an inspiration too!  Best to you and your sweetie!

 Aren't they though?

 AminahMatthews

 Don't forget about other Asians too.  Thai, Lao and Vietnamese along with Sri Lankans and those from India and even Iranians (considered Asian too) are married to black women too.:)

 SwirlQueen  AminahMatthews  I had a friend who is married to a Bangladeshi.

 KingsDaughter   My friend's sister is married to a man from Bangladesh.  They have 3 kiddos.  He is called Bengali and the wife converted to Islam for him. 

 KingsDaughter  SwirlQueen Bangladeshi? Arent they East indian like?

 AminahMatthews  KingsDaughter

 People do mistake them for Indians from India.   

 SwirlQueen  AminahMatthews  KingsDaughter That's because they are Indian. Bangladesh used to be the region of East Bengal in India. There are Bengalis in India and in Bangladesh because the later mentioned country seceded from Pakistan in 1971 to become its own nation. Pakistan seceded from India in 1947. The reason the two countries used to be one is because of their Muslim faith and India has a Hindu majority though there are Christians, Muslims, and Buddhists still there.

 Thanks so much for the history lesson.   My doctor is from Bangladesh and he is Muslim but secular I believe.  He is very patriotic and loves his country.  He was shocked a few years back when I talked to him about two women rivals for prime miniser.  Most people have never heard of Dhaka lol.  If someone calls him Indian (many do) he will instantly correct them with just a hint of attitude. Maybe because people assume that those who look like him are Indian. Thanks again.

 SwirlQueen That's awesome! I thought they  loved and want white wives.

 AminahMatthews

 They do like ww, but they like the brown sugar too.  In many cases, these men could be a darker than the sister.  It's all good.  My friend's sister is quite happy.

 I hope you watch the videos too and smiled some more. lol

Before I wrote "Swirling," I had no idea, NO IDEA Asian men were even interested in black women.

I admit that all the Korean is a little overkill, but it just goes to show that the language of true love is universal.  Anyone can see how committed they are.  There was an article that came out last year depicting Chinese men with African women in Africa.  As China continues to forge relations with African nations, we will see a rise in these unions as Chinese men are going to Africa to work and live.  Asian Boy is meeting African girl and life is happening.  The rest is history as they say.  I have 5 African women friends from all over Africa married to Asian men: Japanese, Chinese and as you see Korean.  I may do some interviews for a future post.  

This really is so stinkin' cute!

 You know it is very much an individual thing but we are seeing more and more Blasian couples everyday.  It encourages sisters who could never picture themselves with anyone let along a non bm.  It lets them know that they can be attracted to Asian men, loved by them as well as married to them.  The history goes back at least a century.  See my previous article.  http://www.beyondblackwhite.com/black-women-asian-males-finally-together/

 SwirlQueen Definitely since every man is an individual you never know who is willing to give things a try and which one's won't be until you get to know him. I think that's the message everyone wants to get across even with the other studies about how men feel about bw. You never know!
