I don't think my parents would have any objections to me dating inter-racially but I know some of my extended family would definitely make a big deal out of it. My family has a history of 'checking out' our bfs and gfs, they'll like evaluate them and then later gossip about it. At least my mom's family is very honest and would tell it to your face about what they think of your bf/gf. My dad's family on the other hand love gossiping about the bf/gfs behind your back

When my great granddad from my mom was still alive and I remember my one aunt started dating a Coloured that looked sort of more khoisanish, my great-grandad was real honest and said it to her face that he didn't like that she was messing around with 'die boesmanne' and when my dad and mom started dating he was also very honest to my mom lol and said well he is a bit dark but at least he has nice features and very nice hair. I think facial features and hair texture counted for a lot in his eyes.

But my dad's side all have this tendency where they will be nice to you but then later gossip and make fun of our bfs/gfs that have what they call 'inferior' features'. And that sort of fakeness really pisses me off about them.
