I have recently come into heated arguements with my parents about myself dating ANOTHER RACE (specifically blacks). It has gone so far as to, "you will be disowned and we don't want to see you if you do." I'm not sure what to do with this because I stand by my beliefs that, well, they are being ignorant and it shouldn't matter!

Has anyone else gone through this?
What are your opinions?
and What would you do if you were me?

My dad and I started argueing about interraicial dating when I was in sixth grade. After I dated a hispanic guy, my dad started making comments to me about how I was doing something awful. After our arguements about interracial dating, he would always tell me how I was wearing to small of clothes, so I ended up wearing baggy clothes for a month. He got so pissed off him and my stepmother decided to go buy me clothes. The two of them got me clothes that were two-four sizes too small, so he started up with the comments again. He started making comments about my clothing because he was stereotyping me and was pissed off at me for not dating a caucasian guy.Now I rarely talk to my dad or see him because he thinks I am a "street walker" (which I'm not) and doesn't agree with interracial dating.

This day and age, it is ok and mostly accepted. I think whoever you fall in love with, or have fun with should be your guy, regardless of their race.
Some parents on the other hand come from a different time frame, from when it was not ok. Some parents are in the new age and some parents, like my own, are stuck in the past, traditional, old fashioned people.
Im not standing up for them, im just showing you both sides of it.

Most of the guys i like and date are a different race than me. My mother and sister joke about it and i have never felt that they wouldn't support me. My father is another thing, i don't know what he would say and i really don't go telling him who i date, so at the moment i don't think he cares. He probably suspects because he has been home when a guy dropped me but i didn't say anything and neither did he. So i don't think he will be a problem.

sometimes i feel like my family is against it. I'm black and most guys i like are White and Hispanic, so theres always something said unfortunately but never anything towards don't date them because of race. they do comment on it sometimes though
