be honest, we all know there are some old school parents out there... younger people, we don't see colors for the most part, but the old generation dudes can be way prejudist

My mom always told me that if I ever came home or got pregnant to a black man she would disown me. (Im white) I never understood that and will never treat my kids that way, I guess she was/ is just really close minded and doesnt understand that love sees no color

I have grown children with families of their own. Had they dated some one out of their race it would not have bothered me any. As a matter of fact... 2 of them did. I must be colored blind. I see no difference in people except complexion and some are short and some tall. Some people should stop and realize that when man and woman first came into existence, there was no "race" we are all humane. I agree.... back a couple generations ago, dating out of your race was a no, no. I call it ignorance. since the days of the cave man we have consistently continued to change and grow intelligently. Some a little slower than others.

I'm married now but yes my mother would have freaked. She would have accepted it but probably made a complete a$$ out of herself trying not to show she is racists. Her and I get into it all the time even now about how she says the wrong things or even notices colour all together. For instance one time she said this black girl at the bank had the nicest top on, and i said why couldn't you just say this girl at the bank had the nicest top on, did it really make a difference that she was black? Another time she said wow that guy was really black, and i said yes and you are really white,what's your point? So yeah it probably would have been an issue, not my dad though, he might have been interested in different cultures or whatever but no he wouldn't have really cared as long as i was happy.

Depends on which parent you ask. When I was 18 I was dating a black guy (me, I'm white) and this was my first serious serious boyfriend like someone that I could see myself marrying. My parents were divorced and I lived with my dad at that point. Well, he was perfectly ok with me dating interacially. He didn't care as long as whom ever it was treated his "baby" girl well. On the other hand was my mother and my stepdad. My mom didn't care. She has never dated a black man, but says she has always fantasized. (you know what they say =) Now, my step-dad on the other hand wanted nothing to do with my ex, at first. He was raised dutch christian reformed. Very racist. (My stepdad has been in my life since I was 7.) He wouldn't even talk to the poor guy at first. Until one day i had enough. I told my stepdad that if he loved me and wanted to be apart of my life that he needed to except the person that I loved. From that day forward I don't know that he liked the fact that I was dating someone black, but he was at least civil to the guy. I now have been with a puerto rican guy for 4 years and we have a two year old together. None of my parents have a problem with that. Which is stupid considering that puerto rican's consist of spanish, black, and indian....i think that is right. To this day I think that it is pathetic that you can't date who you want because certain people have certain problems with it. What I have to say to those people are...."GET OVER IT AND YOURSELF!!!!!!!!!!"

My mom always supported what ever I wanted to do and who ever I wanted to hang out with as long as they were respectful. My mom is Irish, and I grew up in Park Slope Brooklyn, my block was pretty diverse with spanish, black etc. My bestfriend *still to this day* was a black girl and the nieghbors didn't like my family because my family didnt see any race issue with us being friends.. So I've been blessed with an open minded family regarding race. But ask the question about Lesbian relationships, and I don't know what to say!

No my parents wouldn't be mad. Interracial dating is a reality. My parents would only have issues if I limited myself to dating ONLY people outside of my race. I think then my parents would think I have a problem with who I am (racially).

almost all of ladies human beings i have dated were outdoors of my race. No genuine cons, I purely known them like all different woman... professionals were that I were given to change right into somewhat extra cultured about different traditions and that i have been given to have some large corporation!

Yes, they would. My Dad once flipped out because a friend of mine (Who's African American) called the house! And now, they're telling me that 'they don't want slanted eyed grandkids' because the guy I'm dating and am with now is Asian! Good Grief.
