Answer 5

Your a big girl and you have the right to decide who it is you wish to marry or share a relationship with!   Your parents have no right to deny you the right to be happy!  Just do what your  heart tells you. If you are truly happy than stay with the man and remain happy.  If you want to be unhappy than do as your parents say.  At the end of the day it has to be your choice.  Just because your parents are your parents it doesn't necessarily mean they know what is best for you when it comes to love.  You need to make up your mind.  If you stay with this man than your parents need to it accept it or bad luck for them.

Answer 6

What terrible answers you have gotten so far!!!  Firstly, good for you for looking beyond the color of a persons skin or the culture in which they were raised.  Unfortunately, you probably will not be able to change mom and dad's out dated thinking on this issue.  Maybe you could tell your parents that you are sorry that you withheld this information from them and that you value their opinions but that you have different beliefs.  Don't yell and don't be dramatic, use logic and calm discussion. If they won't listen to you, it may be important to say something like if you want me to tell you things in the future, important things and not to keep secrets then we have to be able to have honest conversations with out you flying off the handle.  Of course, I don't know  your family dynamic and it may be possibly that your parents would not be responsive to something like that.

Maybe too you could ask your parents why they are worried about you dating someone of another culture.  Are they afraid that you will abandon your own culture?  Are they afraid that the other person may expose you to something they deem dangerous?  

If none of this works then you may just have to keep your feelings about this person to yourself until you are old enough to make decisions on your own.  Ultimately, your parents can't choose who you love.
