I grew up in a household without racism. I was taught to treat everyone with kindness. My dad at one point was married to a white woman and had a son. They divorced soon after because she was very abusive to me and my other brother.(but that's a story for another time.)
My dad has close friends and works with people who are white. But he's very hypocritical when it comes to a black woman being with a white man. He has no issue with the opposite.
For example. There's a black woman at our hometown bank who has barely even had a conversation with my dad, but he talks so bad about her because she has a white husband.
Another example. A woman who volunteers with me at my hometown museum has helped me a lot over the years, my dad also talks bad about. Simply because she has a white husband.
But in the same breath, my dad will say he doesn't care who I chose to date.
The reason I'm worried is because even though I'm open to dating any race, black men are not interested in me. They say I "act white" and that I'm "Not their type".
That means there's probably a higher chance I'll end up with someone white. The area I live in is majority white and they seem to accept me more in their inner circles.
It's already been difficult trying to find someone to date. I don't want my dad's hypocrisy to affect my possible chance at finding love one day.
