Here is my honest answer to your question. I can't say that it's wrong or right-as it was and is my decision.
I have dated men that were not "white". But, I couldn't tell my parents-especially my mom. I met one guy that I really and truly liked. But, I had to step back and realize everything that I would have to go through if I stayed with him. The thought of my mom hating me and disowning me was stronger than my feelings for him. That's is so sad and wrong, I know. But, it was my choice. She never knew that I dated him. Even now, if she found out, she would never have anything to do with me. I know she is wrong about this whole issue, but I love her, she's my mom. She is also very opinionated about the age of the men I date. She always threatens to disown me if I don't stop dating younger men. That, is a different story, because I can keep it a secret, but with the african american man I really cared about, it would have been hard to hide the fact that we were living together-or married. Besides, it would have been wrong of me to expect him to "hide" or not be around me when she was around.
I do go out with men of other races, but I can't just "announce" it to the family.
I believe she is that way because that is the way she was brought up-and I try to understand, but that doesn't mean she is right.
She really is wrong and unfair, but as I said, she's my mom.

I am a woman who has grown up around many different cultures and ethnicities. I have always been attracted to men outside of my race. I have dated Italians, German, Black and Philipino men as well. Like you said, I am more attracted to people for wo they are rather than their race. I am single now but I would hope my family members would understand that it's about me being happy rather than race. I was teased in high school by my boyfriends "friends" rather than mine. But it seems that men outside of my race are more attracted to me than the other way around.

i'm by no means a racist person, but i live in the south, so naturally i have family members that are, primarily my father. in college i was in a show, and my character's husband was played by a black guy, so i didn't even invite my family to see it, because i know it would have given my father a heart attack to see me kiss a black man. later on, i got into a serious relationship with a man that was half white and half mexican, and naturally my father couldn't stand him. however, we ended up having children together, and since then my father doesn't talk bad about mexicans so much, since that's a quarter of his grandaughter's blood. at least not in front of me, anyway. kudos for being a fellow outside-the-box thinker!

Before i got married, i dated a guy from almost every race except Asian. My mom did not like it but I did not care (especially when it was a Caucasian guy). I thought she was stupid because she is mixed herself, but I think she has grown out of the phase after she learned some history of our family. My husband is mixed-American too.

I dated guys from all around the world and my family didn't give a hoot as long as he wasn't an a--hole. I am continually amazed that "race" matters in this day and age. We are all members of the human race, imho.

I have and would do it again! My immediate family has the same outlook as I do and that is that people are people....period....differences should be embraced, not shunned!! We have so much to learn from different cultures. I have an uncle who is a total moron/bigot and it brought me great pleasure to SMOOCH my boyfriend in front of him every chance I got....I have no tolerance for that kind of stupidity. :)

Is it "rules" your trying to break? Maybe you should just follow your heart. I've always belived that you can't contol who you fall in love with. If you find someone beautiful and all you do is think about when you'll see them again and their green do you see the green or just the person?

My parents claimed not to be racists, but didn't agree with inter-racial relationships. As a teen, I did the "unforbidden", I fell in love with someone out of my "race". 16 years later, we are married with 2 beautiful kids! My parents love my husband now and accept him without hesitation!
