Question for people who date outside their race. What do your fathers’ think about it?

Answer 1

Mine would have disowned me.

Answer 2

Dating outside of ones race will certainly have some implication that have to be considered. Does your father really mean that he would turn his back on you for dating someone who is of another race or not. How much a part of your life is your Father. Which is more important to you. These are the things that you will have to decide. If he is mearly uncomfortable with the idea or is he really a racist. As to marriage and having children that is another decision. Mixed race children are quickly excepted by good families because all children a wonderful additions to any family. For now just do what you think is right and the rest will fall into place just as it should.

Answer 3

My father, as well as my mother was supportive of who I dated. Race was never an issue in our home, however, character was. Shouldn't that always be the case. Why should I date a woman who may have a drug dependency issue just because were the same race when I could date a woman who is a drug counselor but of a different race? Besides I have always had a preference for the Asian female and they were both fine with that.

Answer 4

.I used to have a Jewish boy friend.....my father didn't like that at all !!! Later. I married an Iranian man....my father did like him. My family and I, are catholics.....No problem!!! You can find nice people from different races or religions. It does not matter what your father thinks....it only matters what YOU think!!!

Answer 5

Depending on the age of those involved-it should only matter to the couple. Once you're grown it should not entirely matter to ones father what race you date. Please keep in mind we are all people and should not permit a little thing such as skin color stand in the way of happiness. Think about it--doesn't it make sense-be happy.

Answer 6

my father was fine about it. i've been on dates with guys outside my race. i married someone who is my race, but i never had any set thoughts on it. my father just wanted me to be with someone who was going to treat me right, it didn't matter what race he was.

Answer 7

my father.. and i quote his words.. "isn't racist-- he just thinks its easier for all when you stick to your own race" which on some levels is accurate.. but to sound cliche.. love is color blind... and whatever color i pick "him" to be.. my father, mother, uncle brother.. whoever will learn to like it.. if your the father.. i'd say learn to like him if your trust your daughters judgement she wouldn't choose to be with a jerk no matter what color he is.. if your the other race guy i'd say show him (the father) what your made of and put every stereotype he's got running round his very ignorant mind to rest... and might i add some of the hottet people out there are from mixed parents... adriana lima, derek jeter, vin diesel (hhooott), the rock, halle berry (hotter), mariah carey... the list goes on.. but that's just my opinion... =)

Answer 8

my dad realy doesn't agree with anything I do. So when I date outside my race.. I really dont' care what my dad thinks.. I gave up trying to get his approval around 29

Answer 9

I'm white. My girlfriend is Asian, though I've dated black and Latina women as well. Neither my parents nor their's had any problems with our respective races. A couple haven't liked me that much, but that had nothing to do with my race.

Answer 10

I'm white and my parents are very laid back, so when I started dating a mexican guy, I never thought my parents would be at all against it, he was smart and college bound. My dad hated that he was mexican!!! He's not racist or anything, I just dont understand it, but he really couldnt stand him, he didnt make us break up of course, but he didnt like him

Answer 11

My father doesn't care for the most part. He would prefer for me not to date White men, but it's really not his decision and he knows it. He also knows I'm an adult and respects my decisions.
