WELOVEGRANDMADONNA answered Tuesday December 25 2007, 2:02 am: my sister has kind of the same problem. i think if you really like him you should just go out with him but tell your parents the reasons why you like him and have him over a few times. if your parents really have your best intrest they should be able to see the reasons why you like him so much and if they dont then im really sorry.

Razhie answered Monday December 24 2007, 2:12 pm: Prepare your parents for it gently and remember that being 'agianst' inter-racial dating is in fact rascist. The idea that 'There is nothing wrong with those people, we just don't want them dating our people' IS VERY RACIST.
If there are other objections to this boy, based on his behavoir or who he is as a person, you should listen closely to those, as your family is only trying to keep your safe. If thier only objection is the colour of his skin, tell them that that simply isn't a good enough reason for you not to date him. [ Razhie's advice column | Ask Razhie A Question ]

no, talk to them about it, maybe find out if there is a deeper reason they don't want you dating someone out off your race, but if you both like each other, then date don't let the fact that your family doesn't want you dating him stop you from it, you can't help who you fall for.
