ok, so like you met this guy dated him, he's another ethnicity..and... Options

[cthroughangel]

well, your parents dont like other ethnicities...what is the first thing you say?

[*lookitskim*]

say... i dont care if u like him or NOT. And go slam your room door..

Well, actually what i'll do is continue dating him...

[kevinma03]

How old are you. If you're not atleast a junior in high school dont bother telling your parents cuz you guys will most likely end up breaking up and its not worth the hassle to tell the parents.

If you ARE old enough and marriage is a viable possibility then might as well tell the parents and explain the details. When a relationship has developed to that point most parents are pretty understanding.

[juliar]

This should be moved to Relationships
Yea, my parents are always like that. If that person is black, they don't like it, sadly.
And kevinma, i don't think she's asking for advice.

[xquizit]

I'd say, "It's my choice who I date and I'm going to continue dating him whether you like it or not, but I'm sorry ya'll feel that way."

[hybrid]

Yeah should be Juliar.

Anyway, Just tell them to keep their noses out of your life.

[tomorrow_nvr_com...]

I think this should be moved to relationships

[*CJ1*]

Moved to Relationships

Just tell them that you have your own life and you're growing up and blah blah blah...

[conster]

well if u really like him then i guess jus keep goin out wit him, what can ur parents do? lock u in the closet? ok lets say they do that, but if ur bf truly loves u, then i guess he wont mind lol and wait till u move out after hs graduation

[LoST SouL]

stick wit him n have fun who kares wat ur parents think

[hair products]

ok, so like I met this girl, chilled with her, and my dad is like wtf? in the end if your parents love you they'll accept whoever you're with. but if he ends up breaking your heart then they'll be like see i told you it was a bad idea. then you kick them in the shin.

[phatty]

tell your parents that he's a nice and great guy if they would just try to get to know him before judging him just because of his ethnicity or color

[NawtyLilAznChic]

i can ONLY date chinese ppl n thas wen i get ta college cuz thas wen im officially allowed ta date

personally i wouldnt say sh*t ta my parents if they found out that tha guy i date is pr, i'd jus walk away from them cuz i've lost all respect fa them months ago, i could honestly care less of wat they think besides if i did say sumthin, they wouldnt even hear me

[mai_z]

date him whether thye like it or not......and tell them that you're going to.

[LiNHy POO]

i dont care wut u think! give him a chance!

my parents dont care when i date other races...

but when i get married... he has to be VIET! ooo i hate that!

[dani41790]

hmm first i'd get mad at em for bein racist, n sae stuff lyke idc wat u think n i would stio continue dating hym

[xjjajeengx]

My mom would kill me. She said that i have to much korean culture in me, and i wouldnt get along with other races.

anyways. i would be like "STFU i get to choose the guys."

[silver-rain]

Same here, my parents would rather that I go out with Chinese guys only, and marry a chinese guy and date in college. But, in the end, it's really my decision who I want to marry.
Anyways, I haven't told my parents that i've got a boyfriend, and i don't plan on telling them either.

[pbear]

I'm in an odd situation...:

I'm not supposed to date anyone who's not Chinese [-American].

My sister saw some of my conversations with a close guy friend and she misunderstood them.
The guy is American and she knows his brother.
She thinks I'm dating him and threatens to "ruin my life" by telling people I'm dating an American.

...


edit: American meaning caucasian.

I'd say something like "You have your own lives. Get out of mine." Then keep dating the boy.

[rOckThISshYt]

say this "f*ck you" no don't say that. this is hard for me cuz i can date anyone i want as long as they respect me and aren't too old. that includes girls, jews, christians, chineese, italian, english. doesn't matter. but, i'd say you should tell them this "mom (and/or dad), this guy is really nice. i know he doesn't have our same background, but he's really sweet and respects me. he understands me and i really like him. won't you at least give him a chance? you can meet him if you want." and see what they say. that's the best i can do. 'night.

and for the people who say just tell them to stay out of your life.... it'd be cool if you could, but i doubt they'd even let you out of the house. i mean, you'll probobly going to get into more trouble and have less of a chance to see him. well, hope you get to see him!!!

[hair products]

i'm chinese-american =D

[177emories]

say its my choice... but i prefer the same kind as me anyways i like chinese guys =)

[NvieDi3ai3yGrL]

you shouldn't have to go by what your parents tell you. you can date from whatever ethnicity you like. you deserve to be happy with whomever you please.

[ThePrincessofTKD]

from what i learned from my parents is...he HAS to be smart and successful.

and my mom said SHE has to think that he is cute.

[onenonly101]

i owuldn't say anything, just ignore them like they weren't there.

My parents I KNOW only want me to date Nigerians. I think if i were to date someone white(they would have less of a problem if they were from somewhere else, like chinese,viet,japan,hati,jamica...so on but not just white) my dad would get over it eventually but i don't know about my mom.

[illuminessence]

Basically, if my parents don't like the guy I'm dating, I wouldn't care. Ethnicity isn't a big deal to me. So what if he's black, white, yellow, purple. It should depend on other aspects besides ethnicity. I call it being prejudice. "I do not want you dating him cuz he's African." WTF? Now if the boy you're dating has a criminal record, that's a whole different story.

[tinababy143]

i would say "its my decision and if you have a problem with it then too bad i like/love him and thats how its going to stay. Just because you have problems with people of different ethnicities doesnt mean i have to. Either learn to like him or learn how to live life without me"

but thats just me...haha

[NgocQuyen]

[177emories]

well i would't date that perosn in teh first place

but say i did, cause we hit it off and got alone, tahn it wouldn't matter what my parents say..

cause come on what are the chances i'll marry him.

[hOeyx3]

i don`t care what my parents say. my mom dislikes my current boy because he`s a punker [ he has a lip peircinq ] and he`s viet

she`s kinda discriminartory aqainst them

but my dad said he would disown me if i married someone that wasn`t chinese.. let alone asian

[swteznitemarez]

well discuss it with your parents about how much you care about each other nd ethnicites really don't matter. if you're in ur like early 20's or sumthins, then it would be much easier, but if ur a teen then like they wouldn't listen as much
