My mom doesn't mind she herself is dating a very very dark guy, she thinks everyone is beautiful =).

I know my father wouldn't have wanted me to date a Black man though (not even mulatto), he would have preferred me dating someone who looks white/off white and preferably Christian/Catholic.

Same goes for my maternal grandmother.


In regards to their reaction, my mother's main concern would be how the guy is and how he treats me. My maternal grandmother's and father's would be livid and furious especially if I would get serious with him.

I have other friends whom family members are the same, it's so bad that they don't bring their black boyfriend into their home.

My mother has never brought her black boyfriend to my grandmother's house =) that's how serious they are about it. Though weirdly when it comes to friendships they're color blind =)

My grandmother has plenty of friends whom are Black (in all shades) and so did my father.

in my case, my parents main concern is if my girlfriend or wife has the same religious beliefs as them so they ultimately wouldnt care if my girlfriend was black or asian or whatever but if they are christians.... but like your parents they would just prefer me to date an off white/ caucasion person just because they want thier granchildren to be a reflection of me

@Esther

When you say "off white", do you have any particular groups in mind?

My mother wants me to marry a Riffain girl,I've dated Spaniard girls and she never approved my relationships with them...
for most Riffains is a taboo to marry(even for men) a Spaniard they'd rather prefer other European ethnicity I think because in the Rif people have the impression that Spaniards are like the most Christian/Catholic in the world they're seen like super-christians which is seen as something really bad in the Rif and even though my family is quite liberal they still carry this view(unconsciously)

Again, I don't believe in races. But I know what you probably mean.

I don't have that much family.

I don't have that much family either and the only person who is important to me is my mother. But I don't care about what she thinks at all. She is herself not racist normally but she would be surprised if I ended up with some groups. She is also not prepared to see a guy.

I'ts more about religion and values. Both my parents are hardcore atheists.

Great parents!

I dont have to worry about this because im married to an austrian woman. But lets talk hypothetically, of course. I would get very bad reactions from my family and friends because its unheard of in my hometown and they are very conservative. They are free to have their opinions and preferences and I respect that.

[enurihent]

My father would be totally against it, though I think with time my mother would accept it.
I am sure that my grandparents would accept it except my father's father, though everybody in my family would be against if I would brought a Muslim guy to meet them.

[ñàéäèíã]

No reaction, they are more intesrested in the person's values and morals than her race.

[zzquo0iR]

p.s. my father would also be against me dating an Estonian.

@Una

Any particular reasons?

[Bondjrno]

My immediate family would not have a problem, just that she is christian. My dads said it before he thinks it would be too hard to have a interracial relationship because it would cause to much problems, not because he is against it. (black/white relationship) is what he was talking about.

My grandmother, o lawd, she has dementia so she doesnt know what she is saying. I would not bring a black girlfriend around her. Other races probably would not be a issue for my family.

@Una

Any particular reasons?

For exactly what? Estonians or Muslims?

[cingularring]

hehe hehe

OK. I meant the Estonians but since you happen to mention the Muslims as well, I'd like your comments on both, if you would.

[Shootohoist]

probably nothing

[avaiftBoara]

They wouldn't care. After all is not their business.

[vesiasmepay]

Yes.

Well, my father worked with Estonians for almost 10 years, he thinks that they are really arrogant and it was really hard for him to work with them. He always says that they pretend to be something else than they actually are, seriously when he sees a car with Estonian number, he gets mad. For me that's funny, because I always have thought that if somebody dislikes something or someone so much it is because they are so similar.

You know, I come from Europe and though my family is not really religious we still value Christian values and European culture is a Christian culture. I am a Lutheran and I also personally think that there are too many cultural differences + I have heard many scary stories about what happens when a European girl marries a Muslim, of course there are different situations and all people are different I am just being honest and don't take it personally. Also, I know a really cool Muslim guy - funny, friendly and I really really like him, but honestly I wouldn't start to date him, because I am afraid of those differences.

[suiviouse]

Yes.

Regards.

You can change

[jakitula]

I know my mother wouldn't be too happy if i brought home a none caucasian, she'd love it if I married a Polish woman. my father doesn't really care what I do he's just kinda zoned out and taking it easy these days . I don't think anyone would really come out and say anything though. My cousin (Leb/dutch) is dating a Chinese girl and you can tell most of the family is un-impressed (also because she's a real drag) but no one has said anything.

[Sironimoll]

You can change

Changing would mean losing my identity. I'm happy with the way I was brought up
