I’m happy we’re getting more South American men (Manuel) and Asian men (Nick), but there are still some groups that seem to be ALWAYS male or ALWAYS female on this show. We’ve had countless women from the Philippines, but I would love to see a Philippino man marrying an American. Also, so many women from Columbia and Brazil, yet no men from these countries. Except Jose on the UK series. I would also love to see women from the Middle East/North Africa, we’ve seen a lot of men from these countries but never a woman. We’ve also had a few Indian men, but no Indian women just yet. What are some others you’d like to see?
My husband is Filipino, but had already lived in the states for over a decade when we met. I grew up in the PNW around a lot of asians, and was usually the only white girl in our clique. I didn’t have a close family growing up, and spending time at my Filipino friends houses with all the family, food, love, and acceptance I’d been yearning for my entire life, it was a huge draw. I never shook it. My hubby’s family has treated me like a daughter since day one, and I’m so thankful for it. We will celebrate 16 years in a couple weeks, and I can’t wait for 16 more. Sorry for the diatribe, just got a lil caught up in my feelz!
