I am a half-white/half-hispanic male with a white girlfriend. My facial features don't give my hispanic side away, but my skin tone does. Her dad supports us, but her mom is trying in all her power to keep her daughter as far away from me as possible. We are both 19, by the way. I find it unfair that her mom forbids her to date anyone that isn't white. She boasts loudly of high family violence rates in biracial marriages (I have tried to research this, and I have found nothing to support that , allegedly, 85% of Hispanic males beat their White partners). Her problem is mostly of "racial purity", as she stated that I could treat her daughter like gold (which i do), and she still would not approve. I, however, can not speak a lick of Spanish, and have no ties to the culture whatsoever, and I don't identify myself with a race other than "human". I am starting a journalism project about this, and I want your opinions on biracial relationships. My opinion? Your skin is not your brain.
