How did your family and peers react to your inter-racial relationship?

I myself am in an inter-racial relationship. I am a Asian American with a white girlfriend. I've been in this relationship for over four years and have had various reactions towards my white girlfriend. My parents were really open about the situation and did not care at all, they only wanted me to be happy. One of the factors that contributed to them being open was the fact that I grew up and went to school where the dominant ethnicity was white. My parents aren't the typical strict and un-conformed Asian parents that most people think of. They have conformed and developed a bicultural identity.
On other occasions though I have felt awkward bringing my girlfriend out to dinner with my extended family because we usually go to Asian restaurants. The awkwardness does not come from her just coming out with us, its derived from the potential of her not liking the food that I eat. I have felt uncomfortable about the situation because I do not want her to not like me based on the food that i eat. I also do not want my parents to look down upon her because she will not eat the food. It's hard to bring my girlfriend out with my family when we eat at places that she would not be able to eat at. From this it has been hard for my family to get really close to my girlfriend.
