It really depends on the acceptance of the individuals. You either accept the family traditions and cultures or you don't . I am an Australian born Chinese and never ever would I recommend my kids to marry a traditional chinese bloke because their values of family are different. Men are leaders and women are subserviants and seeing what my mother and mother in law had to endure in China would make any woman seem totally unworthy. Yes , conflict can occur , but that is why countries like American and Australia is multi-cultural because we learn to love and accept our neighbours ( hence part of the 10 commandments) and if you choose to marry anyone that is different from you , be open minded about type of family you are getting into and ask if you can accept their culture with your heart.Thats my advice

I would just like to point out this post, in case anyone missed it, since no one seems to have acknowledged it. The OP has accepted that they were wrong in their concept. And, as such, it was NOT some progpaganda effort, but a persons genuine misunderstanding of the subject matter.
I admire Strong1 for not only having the willingness to seek out if what they believe is right, but having a willingness to admit they were wrong.

culture is there to build one as they grow, and as long as one of the two cultures helps to make good family , i dont see any problem.
What really brings people together is love , which is stronger and more important than culture. Where there is love, culture will not make sense.( i am sorry , but i mean , culture cannot overpower love) These two LOVE BIRDS, will use the culture to make their love strong, not take it down.LOVE is above all those things like , age, size, colour,language, and culture to name but a few

Pickles, you are a wise woman in the Lord. If you weren't already married, I'd propose. *lol* I do pray that you are raising up spiritual daughters. We could use more women like you with such a heart for the Lord. 
Yes I have three daughters in Jesus, one is married, and two are hopeful.
I pray that they will be as blessed as their sister with a trully Godly man.
God bless

some things make me curious,,,,you see i am of a mixed marriage "so called,by men ",,,,i tell you you give your best advice and no nothing of it,,,but you do try,,,,,,let me ask you,, when Obama was running for president they ask him if he was playing the "race card" to get votes from the black voters,,,,,,,,,,now he said "no i am not",,,he did get many black votes because he was black,,,and faced many internet jokes,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,my question is "did everyone forget he is half white"??????????why did he not say "which race card?, the white half of me?",,,,,the white card?,,,or the black card?the black half of me?,,,, now if this were brought to light the black Americans would have realized right away he was half white from America,, and half black from the African continent and that he had no ties to the black Americans in the u.s. ,,,,he would have hurt himself by stating this,,,,,,,,,,so he did not,,,,,,,,,my question though is he half black or half white?????why am i asking you this?,,,,,,,why?
lets say it another way,,,,,,,,,,,,Zimmerman,,,,,,,,the news told you each time you see it he shot a black man,,,,,,Zimmerman the news always points out he is a,,,,,,,,,,,,"white/Hispanic",,,,,,,,,,sometimes "white/Latino",,,,,,,,,,,well that's in the news,,,,,,,,,,,,,you see if a "Hispanic" shoots someone who is "black",,,it is no big "news story",,,,,,,,,,,but if the news puts the words "white" into the mix,,,,,,,,,then if its a crime of hate,,,,,,,,,,,then it a "big news story",,,,,,,,,,because its racial,,,,,,"its a crime of hate",,,,,,,i'm telling you this to warn you about being led around like puppies,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,you see in law,,, if someone has a permit to carry a weapon,,,,,,,and an unarmed man attacks the man with the weapon and takes it from him (notice that the wepon is no longer in the posession of the one who is licenced to carry it),,,,,,,,,at the moment in the struggle,,,,,,,,,"who is armed and who is unarmed"??????????"who is licensed and who is unlicensed",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"to carry the firearm",,,,,,,,,,the law says nothing about discharging it at that time in self defense,,,,,,,,,,but if he was in the act of taking it ,,,,,,,,,,,"he was armed",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,don't get me wrong if some one whoever they are is violated regardless of their race,,,,,,,,,,"it is wrong",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,and ,,,we live in a world were the sun, the globe and the enquirer,,,,are more credible than ABC,NBC and fox,,,,,,,,,,,you know geraldo makes a movie were he is at tora bora,,being shot at but the mountains behind hm are 500 miles away,,,,,,,,,,,,

for me being black, i never judged anyone on their race. i grew up around the latin community, my God mom is Mexican as well as my son is half mexican, my sister-in-law and 2 neices are filippino & my future in law sister of another brother esckimo<< however you spell it however i always have open arms to any race, culture, ethnicity! God says to love all as well as i always sing the song jesus loves the little children, all the children of the world & sings the colors of them, me also being black some people think i act or talk ghetto, i have an attiitude, listen to rap music etc which none are true i couldnt tell you about a rap/ hiphop song for the life of me because i don't know that form of music. I get told by my race i am a black girl trapped in a white girls body why?? because i choose to be classy not saying they arent & respectful, i choose to be more humble.. I laways had it worst with my own race for reasons they didnt like me & still dont! some say im stuck up some dont like me cause they just dont but God sees me different so i really dont care about what they say! We are all created equal, nobody is better than nobody rather we are black, white, mexcian etc we're all beautiful and created in the image of God! Its not about how dark or lite your skin is, its about your heart i believe i'm all about how you carry your heart and how you treat others because i love and respect all and never criticize another of their race. if you were silver you better believe i love you! so racism can kick rocks it doesnt exist to me...

I just want to say that what the OP originally mentioned is not just in her area. We have pockets all over the US where Biracial marriages are stilled condemned. I think it's really only been in the last 10 or 20 years that it's finally starting to become socially acceptable. Part of that, is we are seeing mindsets change as people slowly start to understand other cultures.
However, because racism is still rampant among all cultures, people who marry someone from another culture/race, will probably face issues at some point. For instance, about a year or two ago, some judge (I think it was in AK) refused to allow marry a young couple, because they were of different races. Just this past December, a church in KY actually voted to ban interracial couples from joining their church. So be careful in what you say, because this mindset does exist, and it does influence others, by the hardships they see.
