How Do i get my parents to accept my Boyfriend?

Question

I work with this one guy. he is only a year older than me. but the thing is that he is half mexican. i'm white. my parents don't agree with races mixing. they think white people date white people and mexican people date mexican people and black people date black poeple. he is only half mexican but since its summer he gets dark from being at the pool. so he looks full mexican. My parents won't allow me to date him and i really like him a lot. there is no talking to my parents. all they do is get mad and scream and yell. i just really don't know what to do. i don't wanna give up. please please help.

Answer 1

just introduce the gut to your parents. if he's a good guy they might change their minds.

Answer 2

Your parents need to suck it up and accept him in your life.  So what if he is Mexican?  So what if he was black?  If they can't accept that, they are racist right there!

Answer 3

You know your parents are not stupid ppl and I honestly think the same way, but that is for me to decide on what I want. My daughter once grown and want to date/marry another race..I dont think I would be close minded to the idea. My brother is married to a India women and I just love her. She is a pretty cool person. This is the thing...as long as the guy is good..which if your teenagers he isnt because he has only one thing on his mind, then I see no harm in dating. You know if he is a good guy. I dated two other guys before I met my husband and I thought the other two was so great until we broke up. Now I see them as the cheaters they was and are now. So good luck and just talk to your parents.

Answer 4

Stick with your gut feeling. You know him and understand him better than your parents ever will. If you truly feel he is right for you, stay with him. Prove your parents wrong.

Answer 5

Threaten them with violence.

Answer 6

just trust your self

Answer 7

Wait. How old are you?

If you're a legal adult, you don't need your parents approval!

If you aren't, you really need a good talking-to. Tell them that are being really racist and this is the 21st century, and if they can't accept that then well there's gonna be problems. Ask them if she rather date someone she didn't like just to please them and not be happy, or date someone you did like and everyone is happy, besides skin colours!

This case makes me so mad I don't know how you deal with it!

Good luck.

Answer 10

well thats a tough thing to deal with. i would say go for it and date him. it sounds like you really like him!!!! your gonna date who you wanna date and your gonna make mistakes and there's nothin your parents can do to stop that. i'm sure they'll be mad but like i said, if you really like him and care about him then you shouldnt care about what they say or think. it might not be the best idea to bring him around them tho until the tension between you and parents cools down. i really hope things work out between you 2 =D
