Parents tell you that you can only, marry within your own race. Options

Do you guys know anyone like that? I have a few friends with this situation. One who is pakistani and her parents tell her that she can only marry or even date other ppl who are pakistani and I also have several asian friends that have a simlar situation in which there parents say they can only marry/date there own race.

For me I think that your parents should not be able to tell you to only date/marry only ppl of certain races/cultures. My parents don't really care for me. I think thats partly because we are of mix races or maybe were just more open minded idk... what do you guys think about it? Is it an acceptable based on the fact that some cultures don't believe in mixing?

My mom wants me to get a filipino boy and my dad wants me to get a guatemalan boy. They dont want me to marry a black person, they both agreed on that and i hate it. Whats sad is me and my brothers [ 4 of whom are black ] where raised around and with black people. I know this is racist and sounds stupid, but my brothers are the "black crew" at my school of the junior class.
