What do you hate about being in an interracial relationship?

Question

What are some things y’all don’t agree on? What are some things you don’t like about the other person’s religion/culture/etc? 
I’m Caucasian and my boyfriend is Mexican, here are a few things I hate about being in an interracial relationship (which can also apply to same race relationships) 
• His parents (and most of his family) barely speak any English so I can’t have a convo with them other than saying hi. 
• I’m super picky so I barely like any of their food. 
• My boyfriend says it’s rude if I don’t accept their offer of food/drink (even if I politely say “No, thank you”) I personally hate accepting it if I know I’m full and it’ll just be wasted. 
•  We were raised completely different so that’s a whole list of disagreements by itself.
Don’t get me wrong, we love each other and we don’t plan on breaking up because of these things, they’re just minor to us and we try to work around it. But it’s still super annoying! So what don’t you like about being in an interracial relationship?

Answer

I hate other people’s racist opinions and the names I get called for being with a black man but there is nothing that interferes with our relationship at all.

Answer

I'm caucasian and my husband is south Asian. 
-Getting skinny shamed by his family is just getting OLD. Like I know im thin and no im not going to change to please you. But then if I gain any weight at all they look at me like I became obese. Where is the line?!!?
-my husbands cousins telling me its cultural appropriation to wear their cultural clothes to their celebrations because im white. But making fun of my plain clothes if I'm not wearing theirs. Lol pick a side. Also last I checked that isn't cultural appropriation.
-my MIL thinks I should be 100% submissive to my husband. Gurl no I have strong opinions and you knew this before we got married. Dont police it now years later.
-sadly our families can't be around each other. My family will go out of their way to be accommodating and nice but they HATE white people and constantly make rude comments to my family. 
-people we meet on the street assuming that I must have converted my religion for my husband. Ignorant assumption and embarrassing stereotype that does not apply to me as much as other ppl want it to. Sorry strangers but caucasians aren't always born Christian lol
-lol this one idk why it bothers me, but to immigrants (at least ppl from their region), "American" means white specifically. Dont like being reduced to just the American label as my mom and her entire family are also all immigrants. They dont consider themselves American and I think that erases my ethnicity lol. We've only been here one generation haha Maybe that's just me being picky though.
Honestly my husband and I agree on most things and have a nearly perfect relationship. Obviously gets more complicated when family gets involved.

Answer

My husband and I agree on previous much everything. He loves Mexican food and I like Korean food. The only thing I hate is that his oldest aunt and uncle look and talk down to me. Just because I am Mexican and because we got married so young (18). They act like I don’t know how to be a wife because of the cultural difference. When in reality our culture isn’t that different because both are patriarchy and that’s how I was raised. It’s just annoying.

Answer

My husband and I hardly fight about anything. The current fight though is about baby names. We each hate everything the other likes. He wants a Japanese first name for this baby and I’m not sold on anything that I’ve heard. I like most Polynesian names (he’s Samoan) but refuses to like anything that sounds Hawaiian, Tahitian, or anything along those lines. The frustration is real right now.

Answer

I’m Russian and my SO in Ecuadorian.
His side of the family (and everyone else 😑) thinks I’m always mad or I have an attitude because I never smile 🤷🏼‍♀️ 
I don’t eat Spanish food because it has so many calories and it’s HELLA spicy, everyone in my SOs family always make fun of me because I only eat salads.
Most people think my SO is my son 😑🤯 I’m 4 years older but HOW IN THE WORLD DO I LOOK LIKE HIS MOTHER

Answer

Ummm did I write this because this is exactly how my relationship is!! I’m also caucasian and my boyfriend is Mexican. I’m awful with Spanish and his parents barely speak English! I’m so picky it’s unbelievable and I’m terrified of the day his mom cooks for me!!

Answer

Sometimes it’s difficult to deal with the families...

Answer

Chinese and hubby is Cuban/Irish American who looks pretty much white. 
He can not communicate efficiently with my parents which is a shame as he has a lot in common with my mum 
He doesn’t like Asian food that much (though that’s down to him growing up in Miami vs Sydney where Asian food is everywhere). Deciding what to eat that makes us both happy is difficult. We end up eating same things over and over and missing out on good food. 
His Cuban or American culture has some opposites to mine. Eg refusing food is considered polite to him but rude in Chinese culture. 
We are both very agreeable on most things but in the beginning there were definitely a lot of misunderstandings due to cultural differences
