Good lord shiprepairwoman- It is not at all a question of race anything. In fact, it is another family member I am concerned with!

Everyone has a right to their own opinion but that doesn't necessarily make them right or wrong. They can disapprove all they want but at the end of the day its non of their business, unless the situation directly involves them or you want them involved.

Listen to your family if they disapprove they may have a good reason. Think it over then do what is right.
Take interracial dating, when I was young my parents would have disapproved because it was not socially acceptable. Interracial children had more problems with other kids and the couple might have trouble finding places to live. It wasn't racist it was because they knew it would make a harder life. If I had met someone of another race and liked them I should have thought twice and considered their point of view. They would have still loved me and my children if I did marry someone they didn't approve of.
Things change over decades now most races mix easily and school kids don't face the same issues. I knew a couple where her parents didn't speak to her for a year for marrying a white man but after they had children the parents came around. They started coming to this country for a month every year to get to know the grandchildren. Some parents see the kids marrying outside the race to be a slap to their own race.

Sure, you can disapprove of what others do.
I know people who are serving jail time right now, because their parents always sided with them "right or wrong". These people were never made to own up to and to answer for the acts they did, UNTIL it was too late and they were of legal age and following a pattern of drug abuse and lawbreaking.
You might be rescuing someone by taking the "other" side.

"My family, right or wrong," is nothing more than BS! There are right things to do and wrong things to do and if a family members does the wrong thing, you are also wrong by accepting it without comment. I'm not talking about characteristics, etc., I'm talking about things that really matter and may be hurtful, or harmful, to others outside your family..

let he who is without sin cast the first stone.
If you are close to your relations - instead of disapproving - try to offer advice, support or encouragement to your relatives.
If you are not close, its best not to say anything - they have their own lives to lead.

H*** yes? my mom/dad do it to me and my 2 sister's and brother. I think family shouldn't judge anyone . especially when, family is involved. People- have the right to make their own mistakes. And - not have people point that out. They should. sweety - don't sweat the little thing's in life, life is to short for that.

Absolutely,
As you stand on your own......be able to give your position. I think they need to know you stance, not just because.

they can disapprove, but unless you're underage, they can't control you
