It would be up to them to decide wether or not to accept it or make fun. If you think about it, if your parents are teasing you about it then they fail to see what your relationship with the other race is like. I think it's good that your mixing well with the other race because it proves that you are coperative and don't let that get to your mind even if the guy is white. You should ignore your parents really and just get on with things. Just remember that you decide who you go out with not your parents and only you can decide if you want to mix with the other race. If your parents can't see that you are happy being with white boys then they have probaly got a huge problem. All though the blacks and whites don't particularly like each other but it has improved alot over the past forty odd years. Daniel. [ jumadel's advice column | Ask jumadel A Question ]
