race is nothing as far as I'm concerned as long a s the guy treats you right and you treat him right you make each other happy and love each other that's all that should matter your parents are just stuck in a old way of thinking and when they see this guy treats you right and makes you happy they will come around..never betray your true feelings and values to make your parents or anyone else happy

No, unless that's your only reason to do it, which is then treating your date as an object or a cause but certainly not as a person. There will be many times in life that you will do things your parents disagree with - it's part of the process of becoming an adult. In addition, it's part of pushing your parents to grow, which is a task of every child. Some parents resist the growth and stagnate or worse, but most become better people.
If you are open to dating people, your parents must have lived a better example than they verbalized, so they probably have good hearts somewhere.

The thing is your parents should be happy for you regardless of what race you are with. Black, white, purple, green, yellow, it doesn't matter...the fact of the matter is that we are all the same on the inside regardless of what we look like on the outside. Your parents should take into consideration that someone from your own race may not treat you as good as this other person does. If you feel strongly for this person, nothing should stop you from allowing your relationship to be at its fullest, however, if you feel more strongly about your parents opinion, then maybe you should consider that they are right and you may just be doing it out of spite.

Well, perpetuating someone else's biases-even your parents-is not a good thing to do. It's always hard when it comes to parents though, and then you start walking a thin line. If you are truly feeling this person, maybe you really should see where it goes. I mean, we all have to deal with our parents disagreement of who we choose to be with, because of race or otherwise. Your choices should be your own. Now if you're under 18, well, maybe you ought to respect their wishes in the meantime.

Well, that is a hard one and I guess to some degree it depends on your age and where you live. If you live with your parents, I guess I believe in the live under our roof live by our rules policy. Also if you are a teen, then you need to listen to your parents.
This is a VERY complex issue. You don't want to upset your parents. You should be able to date who you want. Long term, you will have to decide, do you want your parents to be in your life, what if you end up marrying this guy. How will that effect your parents, you, future offspring....etc....
Maybe talk to your parents (nicely without being snotty, or yelling) explain you side of things and LISTEN to theirs. I was in your shoes once. I listened to my parents at the time.

It's not wrong to have a relationship with a person of another race; however, as long as you live under their roof, you are basically compelled to fulfill their wishes. I hope everything works out (if you're in a situation of a similar nature).

Nothing at all wrong with it. All of times kids have different likes and dislikes. And you just happen to like someone of another race. Go for it !!

Your parents can only run your life for a limited time. If it is the right time for you to stand up to them, go for it. If it is not the right time, then date someone they will approve of.

No. Your parents may not aprove of it, but it doesn't mean it is wrong. At first my parents didn't agree with me dating a Mexican guy, but they soon realized I love him and will continue to date him with or without their approval.
