Different ethnic backgrounds

Ask yourself one question: Who is going to have to live/marry the person? You are! They are not the ones who are going to marry the girl you fall in love with. Who you like is your business and your decision. Your parents are just being very closed-minded about the situation. Think about it this way: All your life you have been taught to do unto others as you want done unto u.... U wouldn't want to be judged by your race and neither should she have 2 be subjected to that. Follow your heart. Parents are the majority of the time right, but sometimes they are wrong, and you have to be assertive enough to challenge them in a mature way. Please follow your heart, love kan

If you love her a lot and know you are ready to settle with her. Then by all means go for the girl. Its nice to have family support though. Have you tried talking to them about this? Told them how you feel? If so. And they still disagree, then be with the one you love.

It doesn't matter what ur family thinks if you like her then go for it
if you let your family push you to dating in ur race that's just another way of saying an arranged relationship
go for what you want not for what they want
its you that has be with the person not you

I mean go for it if you like here because there not the one liking her. You are

Love is blind. That includes color blindness. People who take ethnicity and race into consideration are idiots. It's just a skin color or ethnic origin. I say as long as you love her and she loves you, who cares what anyone else thinks, including your family? If they really loved you, then they would accept anyone who treated you right.

Not to be stereotypical, but most white people can't understand the situation that well. To a family like this, dating outside the ethnicity is pretty much a crime. Just as an example, my mother told me she would rather me be a homosexual than to date a white girl. I was kicked out of the family when my parents found out.

Be careful with that situation. If your not prepared to split form your family completely and she hers then you guys are going to have problems. I can't imagine any people abandoning their families for a high school crush, no matter how much they think they love them.

If you love this girl and willing to spend your live with her then forget what your family says they will come around. But first your must ask yourself is love more important then race.
Personally it would not matter to me.

I have the same problem. You should go for the girl and forget what your family thinks. They may not accept it at first, but give them time. Hopefully, they will eventually realize how much you care for this girl and will support you although that's not always the case.
