Interracial Relationships?


Question Posted Friday September 3 2004, 7:51 pm

Woah... I usually GIVE advice here but now I'm asking for it. Because I don't know what to do. See... I started going out with this guy, Chris, on September 1. And I've known him since the first day of school (which was August 23). And I never really thought about it until I saw a picture of his family yesterday, but he's half Mexican (I'm white). And I don't have a problem with it, but my mom has this thing about interracial relationships. And she asked if he was white and I told her he was (that was before I saw a picture of his family -- he looks like a real dark-skinned white guy). Then my mom decided she wants to meet Chris, and she wants me to invite him to our Labor Day picnic/cookout thing. I don't know what to do... I'd love him to come here but I'm afraid my mom's going to say something about his race or she's going to make me break up with him or something. What should I do?

i think cris should go just make sure to ...
~tell cris about your mom befor he gose and that your not like your mom
~ sum wat tell your mom he comes from a "mixed" past but not to say ANUTHING pleas / or not say anything befor the party and say sumthing after
both ways she needs to know
w/e ur mom says she cant make you dump him if you love him ur going to have to go throw this stuff in the long run might as well start now. in the long run it will make you to grow stronger together

Well, I hope you invited him anyway because your parents do need to know who you are dating. I wouldn't tell her squat. It's none of her business. If you feel like you must tell her, then casually slip it in. And if she freaks out, ignore her and try to bring your children up to not be racists.

talk to your mom. explain to her exactly what u just told me. how u like him alot and how hes a very nice guy and ud appreciate it if shed giv him a chance. if u dont want to say it to her face, u could even write her a note and slip it under her door. i am sure if u tell her calmly how u feel she will totally understand. good luck and i hope i helped

Just tell your mom how u feel! I know how u feel! My mom is the same way.. becuz i like blk guys and im white nd' she doesnt approve of it either! But i knew one day i had to tell her! She still doesnt like it.. but she supports what ever makes me happy! Hopefully your mom will to! Hes only half mexican so it cant be that bad! Just tell ur mom that you really like this guy nd' hes really sweet to you nd' treats you good! i hope i helped!

I say invite him.. But before you do.. I think that you should talk to your mom and tell her that hes half mexican and half white.. and tell her that you like him a lot.. and u want him 2 meet her.. (she'll probably b happy that u want her 2 meet him!) Cuz if you talk to her before you'll avoid problems like her saying sumthing in front of him. And if she says to break up with him just be like mom dont judge him just because hes half mexican.. they'res nothing wrong with being mexican.. hes really a nice guy. Be like if god didnt want interratial relationships.. he would of made one RACE! :0) Good Luck with ur relationship and your mom!! x0x!!

hey well first of all....i would invite him and if your mom says anything...be lyk mom i think its so wrong to judge someone by their skin color and be lyk...hes still nice and he has the biggest heart and he would do anything for me. and just because you dont think its right for me to be going out with a mexican guy ...thats not gona make me break up with him. and be lyk god made everyone look different for a reason and then be lyk thats lyk saying i cant go out with a guy becasue his hair is red or something..lol..sry i get to intense..yea but i hope it helpe. just tell ur mom that its SOOO wrong to judge someone by their skin color and then be lyk "well what if you were goin out with a different race guy and ur mom told you that you had to break up with him. how would u feel"?
