Is racial background important to parents when their children choose their partner? How would parents react if their children chose somebody wit a different ethnic background?
(specifically for white americans, african american, latinos, and asians)thanks.

From the USA stand point I think we are all use to the multi-racial population growing, and it doesn't bother us like it may have our parents or grandparents. As for other countries, from some of the hate magnets on these sites it looks like they are against it. Which in time they will get use to it becoming a part of their lives someday to, it's a world adjustment to all the racism if you ask me, which is a good thing, eventually we may all be one typical race, what ever race that is.

I'm not a parent yet, but I do not care what race/culture/ethnicity my future children will marry. I want my children to see the person from the inside, not of what is on the outside. I just want them to treat that person the same way they would want to be treated. I want my children to also respect someones differences or racial background...oh i'm multiracial.

I am married to a person of a different ethnic background. ( I am white American, he is Nigerian). I think I know how my parents feel about it. My mom is very accepting but I think would be more comfortable if he was white. Just because of the comfort level. People like what they are used to. But I know she would never want me to be unhappy in a relationship just because the man was white. She doesn't lose any sleep over it, it's just her preference. My dad feels the same way, but stronger. He would really like it if my husband was white, but again I don't think he's losing any sleep over it either. They both accept him fully because I love him and he is good for me.

I'm black, marrying a white/asian guy and it doesn't matter to either of our parents. We were never taught to judge based on race or stereotypes, so racial background wasn't important to our parents. How someone treats and cares for your child should be important, not their race.

I just want my son to marry someone who loves him. I do think you should consider their culture because some beliefs and traditions will make it very difficult. Like religious differences can be an issue when they have children. Race does not matter.

I would give them one opportunity to get out of the relationship, then I would disown them.
