No. Although when in a relationship there are outside sources that have an effect on you. When it comes down to it, it's about the two of you. As long as you bf is on your side.

No more reason to remain in the relationship to show that that they don't have the power to end it. You see when it is all said and done our parents may or may not like the person we choose for ourselves but it is our lives to live.
And if this person truly loves you despite their family being racists that says a lot about their character. Don't give up love for people who dislike you because of ur ethnicity. Because if you remain together and have a productive loving relationship they will realize that they don't have the kind of power they thought they had to stop their son/daughter from loving whom they have chosen and would eventually have to concede and accept the choice that has been made.
It is not like you all are living in the same house, you will have your own life from theirs.
So like I said don't let racists people break up a relationship from someone who truly loves you - you may regret it.
Hope that this was helpful.

This is a difficult situation. I was in a situation like this. I did break up with him because he did not realize the hurt his parents were putting me through. I think if the guy is willing to stick up for you then I say work it out. It's not about his parents it's about you and your boyfriend/girlfriend.

That's kinda hard....at first thought I'd say break up but my mothers parents didn't like my father cause he's Mexican but they got use to him and now it's not a big deal I guess it depends how racist his/her parents are.

How does he treat you and how does he handle his parents racism. Those should be the determining factors oh and how do you feel about him.
If he treats you well and demands that his parents treat you with respect and you like him why not date him. Just be aware that building a longterm relationship with this guy is going to be an uphill battle.

no. My fiance's family are Columbian and i am as white as they come. I know that his mother wishes at the bottom of her heart that I were some sort of Spanish but I am not and never will be, and he obviously understands that because he put a ring on my finger. They will either learn to accept you or just have to deal with it because love is very powerful.

No i wouldnt. if you love them enough then their parents should not be that big of a deal. since the person you love obviously isnt racist against you then i would stick with him/her.

No, if the person who you are with is in love with you and is not racist it doesn't matter what their parent's think about you.

Nope. Nothing should get in the way of love.
His/her parents will just have to accept who there child chooses to be with. Don't break up with him/her for that. You might find yourself later thinking about what could have been. They might try to make it harder for both of you and try to scare you away but like i always say, nothing can get in the way of love!

I would not break up with someone over their parents feelings if that person loved me, supported me and defended me from their parents, My husband is from a very religious family, I am not religious at all though I am spiritual, they hated me, but my husband loves and protects me, So what they feel is moot, eventually if they love their son and realize that their ill will will alienate him from them they will warm up to you.
