Well, I'm from a mixed bloodline. My mum's indian and my dad's Chinese. Mum was born into a Christian family, dad was brought up Buddhist, but converted in his teenage years.
I was born Christian, but have since left the faith.
I do however fancy chinese women to those from other races. I dont think its cultural but I do find the east asian look quite attractive. I lived for awhile with my girlfriends family in Singapore, and she was buddhist.
Now from what I've seen, I feel that her family was rather backward, still keeping silly traditions and believing and fearing in ghosts, spirits etc. And so I made her abandon all that nonsense, and I came under heavy fire from her family.
Now, while I have no comment on malay+other race mix marriages, I do have quite alot of experience with the other types.
Usually if both sides share the same religion there is next to nothing that hinders that relationship, as peoples lifestyle tend to reflect their religion. So there isnt much to get used to.
On the other hand, when both sides have different religions, the most likely occurrence, is that both sides, if they really love each other and manage to talk things out, end up kinda atheist. They will pick which religion of the two which suits their lifestyle better and stick with it on the outside, while being totally indifferent on the inside.
as usual I probably typed too much and not one word made an ounce of sense, but thats just my two cents.
