    If you only think this relationship is going to last a while than move on. It wouldn't be fair to make him fight for someone who only wants a good time and why put yourself though the process of fighting with your family for something temporary.

    If however you really do love him and see a future with him than you must decide what to do for yourself. Only you know if you are stong enough to battle your family and possibly lose them to gain him.
    Hey, my mom wasn't crazy about me marrying out of our race but she loves him more than any of my other in laws. Shes happy that I found someone who treats me right. My mother in law felt the same way about my race. It took her 20 years but she finally got over it.
    She finally accepted I wasn't going any where and that her son was happy and that was all that should matter.

    It depends on your age. I am marriage to a half white/half indian girl and she is nothing but trouble. I have 20 years invested in her so I will most like have her in my house for a very long time. Listen to your parents is my advice.

    I'm bothered a bit by what you wrote, that "I could see myself with for a "while". He doesn't rate anymore than just a "while". The fact that you are concerned that you would lose your family over this is another thing. Do you still live at home?

    are you going to spend the rest of your life with your family or with your guy? they'll get over it if your happy and if they don't, I'm sorry for them.

    Sometimes parents don't want to deal with ANY person their child is romantically involved with. How much is this purely based on race?

    Whatever your parents reasons for not wanting you with someone other than white I would just slowly introduce him. It's not like they can walk away from you forever. If they are parents than love unconditional make em prove it.

    The question is, What should you do with your family and how do you address their racist attitudes?
