I am in a interracial relationship right now and if you two love each other then it shouldn't matter what other people think about you two as along as you know the truth. About your parents..give them time to realize that he is a good guy.

Why are you ashamed to tell your parents if you feel he is "extremely bright, sweet, caring", loves you and treats you well? YOU should not be ashamed of such a great guy. Forget what everyone else thinks. You're mixed. So its not like your parents can really judge the interacial aspect of your relationship.
You should just casually let your parents know that you've started dating "__" and so far he's a great guy. UNLESS you don't tell your parents when you date other people, than just don't worry about it.
Everyone will always have an opinion- whether its the age difference between the couple, the weight difference, the race difference, the height difference. Oh well. If you're happy. Go for it. And don't ever be ashamed.

Well, I don't see the problem here with your parents. If they are so worried about racism......why did they have you. You are already mixed. So having a boyfriend from another race should not be a problem........the way society is you are going to have problems just because you white/half puerto rican. So in other words if you can handle that than you can handle the black boyfriend. Tell your parents before someone else tells them. Good luck.

You should just be honest !!!! Honesty is always the best policy, your parents may be upset, but if you described your relationship to them as you have on wayn they might understand. Tell it like it is and there will never be any misconceptions.

You need to come clean to your parents, and tell them that you love him. You will have some trouble from them and from society but you can overcome them.
