Actress and singer Shvona Chung remembered a time when she was on a lunch date with her ex-boyfriend and his mother. “My date had to correct his mother on the proper way to address someone from African-American descent, ‘No mom, no one says Negro anymore,’ [he said] as I sat in amazement,” Chung wrote on her Yahoo Shine blog.

Chung is a product of an interracial relationship. Her mother is Indian and white and her father is African-American. She grew up in Queens, New York. She says she dated “blindly” from a young age. “I don’t have a preference or anything. I just like men,” Chung says.

Her long-term relationships include two with African-American men and one with a Jewish man from Australia. She has also had multiple short-term relationships with Asian men.

Although Chung and her family embraced her Korean husband from the time they dated, Ted Chung’s conservative, Asian family felt otherwise toward Shvona.

Chung says that Asians have a hierarchy and Koreans hold themselves at the top because they have the lightest complexion.

Although she comes from mixed parents, her African-American heritage is evident in her caramel skin, full lips and curly hair.

“I definitely got snubbed at times,” Chung says about her in-laws’ behavior. “There was a lot of sarcasm and judgments of my family because a lot of my family is remarried.”

The Chung family grew to accept Shvona with time and because their son wouldn’t tolerate their negative attitude. Shvona says the most important thing to make an interracial relationship work is to stand up to the family that has a problem with it.

“I have a lot of friends who are beautiful black women who have great jobs and make a lot of money and they’re still single,” she says.

Chung says she believes that there are good African-American men out there and tells her friends to keep hope alive. She also recommends that her friends be open to all people regardless of race.
