I was in a long-term relationship with a Taiwanese woman, and she kept me a secret from her family for years. Even when we lived together, the story was that we we just sharing an apartment. I assumed that they didn't want her dating a white guy, but later she was showing me photos of a family gathering where there were several white men present so I'm not sure what the real issue was. Maybe her family was just eccentric? She was definitely eccentric herself in other ways, so it would make sense.

Other than that I've dated American women which I suppose is technically a different culture since I'm not from the USA myself, but I came to the USA as a young child. I did go on a few dates with a woman from my birth country who came to the USA as an adult and that was awkward because of how much harder than mine her own life had been. She wasn't hostile about it but I still felt like a jerk any time I mentioned anything that had ever been difficult for me.
