Search Results: talking to someone outside my race

I'm an Asian girl who still lives under my parents roof. I've been talking to the Mexican guy for about 4 months. I can tell he he really likes me. He likes me more than I like him. As a child my mom would always say find someone who likes/loves me more than I like/love him.
Before I told my dad I was talking to a Mexican guy I asked him if he would let me date outside of my race and he said no. When I asked for an explanation he told me "you are the farm and your significant other will be the seeds. If you plant corn, your farm will grow corn. If you plant rice, your farm will grow rice. If you plant beans, your farm will grow beans." He looks up at me then contiues "you understand what I'm saying right? im saying you can't date another race because you must keep your farm your farm. It must not change."
I tried talking him out of that but my dad is the type of guy to not change his mind. So I cut off the mexican guy once for about a week. But we ended up talking again and I need help right now.
I dont know if I should keep trying with this guy or just just stop. Another thing thst is bothering me is that he doesn't drive, he is not in college, he's working and studying to go to the marines and i want to support him but has failed the test about 4 times now.
I dont know to do and I need someone else's opionion. Right now I'm 18 and about to go off to collage in the fall. I was thinking maybe if I keep talking to him, things will get better. Help me.
