NO! I have been in an interracial relationship for several years and honestly do not even think about his race because I love him. This questions has been asked many many times and if you will notice, the only people that respond no to this question are white boys. Not all white guys feel this way, but the ones that respond no just feel threatened and I think that's really lame. I think you should love everyone and if you feel in your heart that a relationship is right, race should not matter.

i have racist parents, and i waited to date outside my "race" until i got out of the house. if i had "fallen for" someone they wouldn't have approved of before that, i think i just would have dated the person without them knowing. (and i would tell the guy that your parents have issues, so he knows why you're not taking him home to dinner first thing.)\n\nafter you've dated for a little while, and if you really think it's "serious," then you can introduce him to your parents, after you make it clear that you waited to tell them because of their racist attitudes, and are only telling them because it's more than just a crush. prepare for a big argument. tell them first, BTW, so they don't make asses of themselves. surprise is not a good idea here. \n\n(and sorry you have to deal with such silliness. at least i hope it's just silliness.)

Are you trying to say you look like a white female but you are really asian? Well, my mom is Korean and she looks like a white woman too, only with natural black hair. She married my dad, an african american and so I came out brown skinned. None the less, I consider myself bi-racial and not just one race. I am proud of my heritage. I love my skin color too.

Its not about what your family members want. It is about what you want. You love who you love and I don't believe anyone can choose their sexual preference. I undersdtand it is hard (my mum doesn't like that I am bi either) but you just gotta do whats right for you. Your family will come around and accept you if they really care (and I am sure they do) it may take time, but you be who you are.

I feel the best way to tell your parents is to just sit them down and tell them exactly how you feel about your boyfriend and since they're your parents I'm sure that they want you to be happy so be detail about how you feel and how content you are with your boyfriend, let them know toward the end of your conversation that he is black and let them know that you understand how they feel about you dating a black guy but you definitely think you can make your own decisions in choosing who you go out with. Basically, express yourself and your feelings but be very understanding and respectful at the same time.

I think interracial relationships are great I'm mixed black and white and my niece is mixed also.  You go for what you like color desn't really matter because at the end of the day every one is still the same on the inside and we all have the same problems only difference is the skin color and looks.

My son is biracial... I'm Italian, and his father is black.\n\nAs far as the issues we had as an interracial couple, we didn't really have any... our roommates were another interracial couple (black girl, white guy) and we found that when we'd go out together, people would automatically pair us up according to race.. we kept having to correct people! But once we corrected them, people were kind and not judgmental in the slightest.\n\nWhen I got pregnant, my straight-from-Italy grandparents were concerned at first because they thought our child would encounter a lot of prejudice, but once they saw that American culture has become more open-minded about interracial couples and children, they were pleased and excited (and everyone agrees that my son is absolutely adorable)\n\nI do run into the occasional (typically older) person that gives me odd, sidelong looks when I'm out with my son, but on the whole, I haven't encountered much weirdness... and this is Minnesota, home of the bland and mostly Caucasian!

Go for it. I am a White man married to a Black Woman. It is very acceptable and we have no problems. I get along well with her family and my family loves her as well. She has two sons from a previous marriage and I get along well with them.

Don't jump to conclusions that your mom cheated or that you were adopted.  While this may or may not be true, it is very likely that both your parents are your biological parents. These types of things DO happen.  There is an interesting video series called ANSWERS IN GENESIS, and there are also genetic studies being done now to show that it is entirely possible to have a different skin color than your parents.  Scientists are actually now finding that there are more genetic differences between two individual people of the same race than there are between two races, even two races as stereotypically different as white and black.  Anyone who opens their eyes long enough can see that white and black people are more similar than they are different, even genetically speaking.

from some one that has been there and done exactly what your doing unless your going to meet this guy you met on the internet I wouldn't freak out your parents if he ever says he want's to meet then tell your parents about him and that you've been talking to him for so long and that you like him and want to meet him but want them there incase something happens just leave out the part that he's chinese till you meet with him if he is who he says he is and your parents see that your happy with him they will grin there teeth and grunt but they'll be happy you found someone my father is the most racist person I know but he's still happy for me when I'm happy.

Be aware of your differences, ask BF to teach you about his culture, be respectful, open minded, and celebrate the differences. And teach him about yours.\nI know most parents would pick someone culturally similar to their child, but more and more, parents just want their child to be happy. Ask the BF how he thinks his parents will react to your dating. It will give you a little insight about how he feels about you, too.\nGood luck.

I married a man of another race.  My family has been pretty accepting of him, thankfully.  But I have also seen a good friend of mine struggle with her dad for years to accept her boyfriend of another race, and he never did, and they eventually broke up.  Her dad was afraid of how other people would treat my friend and her boyfriend, and their children someday.  I think the generations before us have seen people do really mean things because of racism, and sometimes they are scared of that stuff happening to their kids.  You are in a tough place.  I hope your mom can get to know your boyfriend and see him for what you see in him.

It depends on your partner's relationship with his/her parents. Because even if you don't think its necessary, it may be important for your partner-to-be, and he/she may not tell you.  Its hard, because if you want to keep it a surprise, you can't ask him/her directly. I would just probe indirectly, and see how he/she feels (or ask mutual friends to do the investigative work)

As the mom of a bisexual daughter. I say be honest with them. We as parents love our children and want them to be comfortable enough to be able to come to us with anything.Though I may not approve of her choices I stand behind 100% . She is my daughter and no choice she makes could ever change the love I have for her. My love and prayers go out to you honey.

I don't really think you have to tell them who you like if you're not comfortable with it. Your parents might like the insight into your life and feel that you are more mature if you do tell them, (especially your mom) but it's really not necessary. Definitely tell them if you get a boyfriend though. Trust me, parents don't appreciate not knowing who their daughter is going out with.
