Well, I'm an adult but currently still live with my parents, they recently found out about my new bf who is indian, now i am white, there are no religous or cultural implications for the both of us. But my parents have hit the roof about me seeing an indian guy, they have no problems with having indian friends, so how do I make them see sense? I just want them to understand that there is nothing wrong, any advice would be greatly appreciated.
there details on why its an issue wasnt really given, my dad merely said i dont beleive your with a ****, and my moms excuse was, its fine as a friend but not in a relationship, and also people apparently will talk, but friends and aquaintences of mine see no problem and will not "talk"
thanks sirah your advice was very helpful, my parents associate with people from all different cultures and backgrounds and dont see any problem with being friends with them, but its the relationship part thats the problem.

to the next poster, there are no cultural difficulties, his sister is married to a white man, and also has children with him and there are no problems with that. thanks for the help everyone
btw everyone, do i have to pick best answer or is it done automatically, srry this is my first question?
Ok guys thanks a lot so far, you've helped put my mind at ease slightly and hope that all goes well.
 
That is weird to me...
Just explain to them when you are with him, or anyone for that matter you don't see or judge by their race but by their personality and how they make you feel and you enjoy his company and he treats you well and you get along and that it shouldn't matter where he is from, or his background.

Good luck, i hope they understand because there should be no problem with a white women or man with a Asian, Indian, African man or women.


EDIT

I have two friends that have a white mother and Indian father and another friend of Indian mother and white father, and their parents are about 50 now So it has been going on for years already so hardly anyone these days would look at you weirdly, or talk apart from the people who may associate with your parents, but you shouldn't care what they think because i believe what they think about inter-racial relationships is invalid. I also even know many of my other friends have one white parent and one black and one white and one Asian and one Islander and an Indian, so I really think that these days for people to be against it for relationships is just sticking to our prejudice past, which is fading away and people are becoming more accepting and i see more and more inter-racial relationships. One day i hope that all relationships with anyone, different race or sexual orientation will just simply be called a relationship.

And this has come from a straight, white female with both white parents.


-EDIT-
You will be able to choose best answer in a day or so, but if you don't then it will go to the public to vote for it after a few days.
 
Tell them, "Hey! At least he's not <insert group of people your parents don't like>!"
