Answer 1

They'll probably stone you or something.

Answer 2

If you live in the U.S. (you didn't say) they can legally kick you out, because you're 18.  If you were 17, it would be child abuse, but as of now you can move out or be kicked out with no immediate consequences. I'd say wait it out (for at least a year) and if you're super serious and can stand each other by the end of it, you might want to consider marriage.  CONSIDER.

Besides you're still 18, there's tidbits of hormones running through you, and you can't see straight (although all appears well) so wait it out.

Or be impulsive, it's your life.

But I don't recommend it.

Answer 3

If it is truly serious then wait until you are able to move out and be with the one you love and eventually they will see the light. Good luck.  :0

Answer 4

Unless you want to enrage your family the just keep it quiet. How long have you been together? If you can or are allowed then why not move out when you can and gradually tell them you have a friend then that you care for this friend. Then let them know that it is serious and you care deeply about him regardless of his colour or race. If they love you they will eventually come around. Good luck.  :)
