Have you ever dated someone with racist parents if so how did it go?

Never dated, but I had a friend in high school with a racist parent. I found out about this when I offered my friend a ride home after school and she said, "please drop me off on the corner." I was like, I'm not doing that because I'd like to know that when I dropped you off, you made it home safe, and besides, why the heck would I drop you anywhere but your house?" She then confessed her dad was super racist, and didn't like anyone but their own race associating with his daughter. I did not take this to heart, because obviously she was not this way, and I couldn't hold her dad's actions against her, at least initially.

One day our bus failed to arrive at school and I asked if I could get a ride from her dad because she lived like 10 minutes from my house and of course since I'd given her one, didn't think it would be an issue. Her dad comes and he looks at me like I was trash. He refused to give me a ride at all, so I just got left behind and had to wait for my parents to come get me. I felt really disrespected. I no longer really wanted to be a part of that world because I'd had to sneak hanging out with her, lie, and do these things just to be friends, and that was BS. Sad thing was, her mom was cool, but she was clearly afraid of the dad, so maybe even some abuse there. I pulled the plug on our friendship the day she defended her dad's actions and tried to say, I would never understand, and blah, blah, that's just how it is...like Christ, you're telling this to someone on the brunt end of the actual racism. I would do the same if it were a relationship and my boyfriend defended the racism. Can't choose your family, but you can choose your own actions and how you treat people.
