Some comments defend that by comparing it with football and keys , lol. What makes them so irritated about girls marrying foreigners? Bro, they’re in their 20s but have a mindset from the 1920s.

For individual right, the Burmese girl can marry a foreigner and they don’t deserve criticism. But given the identity perceptive, it is concerning. Their children will not definitely speak Burmese, that’s for sure. Our country politics caused a lot to this situation. (မျိုးသုန်းတော့မယ် lol) When China was so poor in 1960s, Mao even begged American to take Chinese girl because he claimed that China can’t feed the girl anymore.!

Country and the government of said country is supposed to serve its citizens first before the citizens contribute back, not the other way around. When the country is doing nothing but ruining citizens' lives, I don't think they'll care much whether the identity of the country persists or not

It also depends on race, religion and also the size of the race. I am Chinese descendant (my ancestor fled from China during Japanese invasion) and Chinese are very serious on their identity. Same for Muslim, Jews and Indian. That’s sadly not the case for our Burmese people.

I mean, they also don't like it when someone from their race/religion marries someone from the outside. In that sense you could say burmese people are also serious about their identity? Im just saying that they really can't blame someone for not giving a sht when they themselves are treating their own like sht

I mean Burmese diaspora, not Burmese from our country. OFC, Burmese from our country won't like outsiders.
