Ask your family if they care about your happiness, and let them know how they're making you feel upset.
My family doesn't like the guy I'm with for various reasons, including race. But what they really care about is my happiness, so they won't bug me about him as long as he doesn't make me suffer.

You are all adults, Whom you choose is up to you I'm sure there has been white boys your family didn't like, race is just another issue in your life you will learn to deal with ,If you think it will stop there, it won't !! My problem is when you have children, I can personally speak on this because I am of mix race, a product of a black & white mother, an Asian father. You will lose alot of friends, but that only means they were'nt real friends, as a child I felt I never really fit into what society called the norm,but today there are many interracial couples, people change with time. And so will your family!!!

Some American Advice: A interracial relationship can be a difficult thing depending on the country you live in and even the city. In America, in most places people do not care or even give it a look. In New York, a interracial relationship is low on the list of what people look at. The same in Germany you see a lot of Black guy going out with White German Girls. I lived in Vienna Austria for more the 2.5 years I would think the same in the UK, maybe not Ireland, thous irish guys can be prats. The same can be said for small city's, I do not think in the South that a white girl walking hand and hand with a Black guy would be looked upon so good. For as much as America has Freedom we still have Racism. But in NY we do not see color, Just people, Good People

Okies.
Well if you are white, you know that most families will typically, although reluctantly accept what you do because they have no choice. In white families, family is not as controlling as they are in some others cultures. (South East Asian families are sometimes the most controlling. In Canada, we've had rare cases where upset east indian father's have killed their daughters for dating the wrong guys. That said, we have lots of
south east asian familes have also accepted but I think that they
have the most strong family resistance.)
No if you are dating TWO guys, I think you have issues and should simplify your life!!!
