I personally dont think interracial relationships work
Well u r wrong. Because my parents relationship work and I feel proud to be a part of both cultures (or even three if u include growing up in the states). But I will always feel torn between the two as to me not one is better then other but both are a part of me... and thats the way it will always be...

btw, indianpolishgurl, just wondering, why did'nt ur father get an arranged marriage?
Well... my dads family were not so traditional... they keep some particular values at home and stuff like that but my dad met my mom while studying in the states. My dads family were a bit strange actually... but not in particular to my mom... but they were against the idea of him being with a woman who was american, british, australian, irish, etc... but not with a woman from europe (Polish, or even it had been German, Italian, Spanish, Russian, etc)...
... no arranged marriages from my grandparents to force on their kids i think thats why my dad also didnt want to enforce this type of value on us... but still grew up in a home with many different traditional values of both indian and polish culture....
This is a very interesting thread. I'm black (well mixed) my dad white English, my mum Jamaican and have grown up in Birmingham. I think that the best thing about the world is meeting people who are different. How boring it would be if we were all the same!
The world has so many cultures... why not mix and match.. make it more interesting :) U r right we would be so boring if we were all the same...
While I wouldnt worry to much about reaction in poland. Lots of people will say u r "exotic" and that is a compliment so take it well and be proud :)
