What is the biggest obstacle in interracial dating, in your opinion... Is it sumthin that makes sense, or no?

My folks always warned me against white men, but I didn't really listen to them and did my own thing anyway. They still aren't happy about it but they of course love me and respect my decisions. However, they were definitely different towards me when they knew about some of the white guys I was dating. So I think the parental acceptance is definitely a huge obstacle. As far as social acceptance goes, I couldn't give a f*ck. Society is not going to tell me who I should be with. My parents at least know me well enough to think that they know what's best for me, but society as a whole does not have the grounds to do so.

Lets try grandparental acceptance. My parents are so accepting and that's great and the love all races as long as the people themselves are nice and if you can learn from them the better because my family loves to learn :). My grandparents aren't racist but need to be more educated one somethings. I am not sure if they would like todd but they probably would because he anfd my grandpa could talk about football together.

Great question. And the only thing I dealt with that was stupid was that some distant relative of a white guy I was seeing, hated me. Said he didn't want to see his perfect jeans get mixed up with mine. His parents loved me tho. Thought I was cute and sweet as pie. I'm black Irish and Indian and I'm darker like my mom. My sister is really really light skinned like my dad's side. They always said "you love who you love. Doesn't matter as long as you love and respect each other."

parents

i think it's not understanding culture of your potential partner. I mean, very few guys actually show interest in your culture and understanding it and that makes me a little happier. I don't lik guys who don't even care.

For me I would prefer to date in someone in my race. This is because chances are that me and this person were brought up in similiar ways. I know there are somethings I wouldn't really able to enjoy doing without someone really wanting to get involved and doing the same thing. These things mostly involve things that only someone of my race would enjoy. Also because of the whole parent acceptance thing. I know your parents should agree with who you date no matter what race but its just the whole thing that you want them to like the significant other because they want to not because they feel like they have to.
