Your parents were happy of your black/white dating ?

You're from wyoming? living? from originally? I'd think the interracial dating pool would be a pipe-dream there or do i stand corrected.

 

LOL i've had that experience to with a relative trying to hook me up with someone of my own kind. I was open but at the end of the day there was no chemistry.

How is your standing with your mother today? And, your possible quest for having a child, wink wink-cough cough

 

First, my relationship is Asian/Black, not White/Black.

I've said this before, but my parents don't seem to mind much. We are not a religious family, so different religions seem less important to them generally.

What my parents (and many Asian parents in my experience) care a lot more about is the boyfriend's occupation. If my boyfriend was working a dead end job or was a musician in a band and was hoping to one day "make it big," my parents would have a problem with that no matter what race my boyfriend is.

Chinese parents are often xenophobic, but that applies to White men and Hispanic men too, not just Black men. At least in my experience, and definitely with my parents.

 

Hey, Jenn. Glad you're back with us.

 

The highlighted is so true. Aren't many folks guilty of being suspicious of people that are not familiar?

 

I've heard that about Asian parents,too, oddly enough.

 

They always wanted me to date a Dutch guy. Have a bunch of blonde hair, blue eyed kids, live near them etc.

I came home with a black guy, lived all over the world and don't want kids.
Not exactly what they had in mind but they are used to it now and are OK with it. They are pretty open minded

 

My parents are not particularly happy about it.

 

Did they ever give you a reason why?

My family figured wwbm relationships always ended up like oj and nicole

 

I think when I was younger my parents werent cool with it, but I think as theyve gotten older and I've been dogged out so many times of women of all different ethnicities they are less concerned about her skin color and more concerned if she's a good woman and makes me happy.

I think they would still PREFER I marry a black woman but wont be upset if I marry a white woman. People even joke now about how I'll end up married to a European woman haha. Some people in my extended family are definitely not oky with me dating white, but oh well.

 

How about being into black guys, and being raised by a a racist male CHAUVANISTIC father? Not a good combo at all..I had to keep my relationships SECRET!!

 

shouldnt be too hard. christians everywhere today XD

 

Family are a bit racist

My dad is a bit racist (if you can be a BIT racist?!)

But it wouldn't stop me, he'd just have to get over it, and so would anyone else.

I long past trying to gain my family's approval for pretty much anything anyway.

 

The only issue my mother has is with Maori or middle eastern men. I do not have a relationship with my mother, so her opinion means nada to moi.

The rest of the family couldnt give a crap who I date, as long as he is good to me and my children.
