Black culture is accepting if you make yourself a part of the community and don't set yourself apart. Jewish dating is beautiful, until it looks like it might be marriage, then it turns nastier than just about anything.

As I mentioned above, I'm married to a Filipino girl and while I've experienced very limited racism/prejudice from her family (one "Filipino Centric" cousin who didn't come to our wedding but has since come around and is really cool to me now), but among the Asian community, we've experienced negativity among immigrant Asians, mainly directed towards her. The immigrant Asians are generally more "clanish" than those who grew up here, they stick together, rarely hang out with anyone outside of their ethnic group and frown on anyone who does, especially one who dates or marries a non-Asian. However, among Asians born here, little to nothing.
Of course, depending on where you are in the US racism can be experienced. I took my wife back to the town I grew up in, a small all-white town in Western MI, she was very uncomfortable with the looks we got and some comments that came her way (one guy came up to her when I was elsewhere and asked "are you an injun?"). I once applied for a job at a school in the South, a co-worker, who had been married to a non-white when he worked in that area, told me not to do it, being in an inter-racial marriage would be hell down there for me as it was for him. It's sad that such and attitude exists but that's reality, if you're in such a relationship you have to deal with it and know that it's become less and less prevelant in society today.
