 It isn't wrong, you feel the way you do and thats as normal as anything, don't worry, you are fine, nothing wrong with you or liking someone of a different race. Take care.

 To the anonymous reader and "TasteofIndia," whom I highly regard, I have on many occasions seen the results of pigmentation and other problems as suggested, but I agree that it only happens occasionally.
Also, I've read detailed studies, but I do not wish to spend my time here documenting reports which are widely available that verify my advice. I've agreed that there is essentially nothing at all wrong with interracial attraction, but advise that the most comfortable and long-lasting relationships may still be among the least divergent members of cultures.
On the other hand, challenges can be immensely fun and rewarding.
As example, as a white male from Texas, I have crossing several cultural lines in the 1960s and since, so my advice is only a degree of caution and based on scientific and medical evidence which is readily available online.

 Nothing wrong at all, and as for genetic difficulties, that's untrue (sorry, DoubleM). Gene flow (the blending of genetics from different populations) is extremely beneficial to genetic variation. Skin blemishes - such as severe acne - can be genetic, but that's due to a parent being genetically predisposed. There's also something called "Vitiligo", which causes white patches on the skin. Not much is known about that, but it mostly runs in folks with autoimmune diseases and might run in the family. But, it's not caused by two people of different races having a child.
In fact, according to the field of Anthropology, Race as Biology has no scientific value. But, it's important to remember than ancestry & ethnicity are not synonymous with the concept of race.
OKAY. Whoa, thank you very much Anthropology course.
Anyway, as a product of an interracial couple (Black/White, if you're curious), and now married to a white fella, I'll tell you right now that there is absolutely NOTHING wrong with being attracted to someone who looks different. You like who you like and we're all the same on the inside. So don't worry about it, sweet thing!

There is less chance of "birth defects or unsightly skin blemishes", as he puts it, when children are produced from mixed races. It is the wider genetic differences that improve a gene pool, not limit it.

No, not wrong, but in certain cases, genetic differences may result in birth defects or unsightly skin blemishes for any children produced from some relationships. It is not being racial, but factual, to acknowledge that this more often occurs between black and other races. To my knowledge, no genetic problem would likely occur with the offspring of asian and latino or caucasian partners.

 no there is nothing against it, this world is more open to different racial partnerships. I believe you can date or go out with anyone no matter what there colour. I think the best advice for you would be to ask your parents see what they think, just stumble apon the question, ask them if its ok for a latino to go for a chinese, tell them your friend is worried about their parents point of view, and find out what they think. If they think there is nothing wrong with it then thats great, however if your friends have a problem thats their problem not yours you do what you like. If your parents dont agree to it then perhaps keep it quiet while its not serious relationship as soon as it gets serious your better off telling them, there going to find out anyway, parents always do. other than that take care, i hope i have helped and i hope you get what you wish for

 No, there is absolutely nothing wrong with that at all! Where did you get the idea that it is wrong in the first place? Don't wonder another minute! You're more than ok! Haven't you seen all the interracial couples walking around?
