Or break up with him and bother with looking for another guy. Its understandable that they want you to be with someone of your own race, but you are given a choice, a very hard one at that. And though either way, its going to impact you pretty severely unless you can manage to convince your parents somehow some way.
I believe you should tell them though. Purely my opinion. Because things hidden for too long tend to show up at really bad times. And hiding it longer only worsens the dilemma. Plus it gives you a chance to explain and compromise between you and your parents. Hopefully yours are stubborn or its going to take a lot to get your point down if you tell them.
