If you are a white, Hispanic, or Asian B8er: would your parents have any reservations about your marrying a black person? Assume that this person has about the same qualities, smarts, personality, and socioeconomic background as someone you would normally consider marrying. Basically, if your parents have reservations, they would be about the person's ethnicity and nothing else.

Actually I don't know, maybe I'm just misjudging them.
My nana certainly would, my parents probably...tough one. I don't think so. They wouldn't to my face because I would destroy them.

Yes for me. I've already had this talk with my mom and grandma, and while they wouldn't do something drastic like disapprove publicly, they still wouldn't be too thrilled. Not sure about my dad.

Both of the 100% Chinese people in my family would probably have some reservations (especially my grandmother). The rest of my family would be absolutely fine.
EDIT: Grandmother would be very, very angry. That didn't come across in my first sentence well enough.

My mom is Chinese and is racist towards black people. Still, she wouldn't prohibit the marriage or anything. She would most likely be standoff-ish around her or treat her slightly differently.
From: UltimaterializerX | #030 If you're a white boy, no one cares if you marry a black girl except really dumb old people. But if you're a white girl, holy hell do the gloves come off. It kind of sickens me.
They don't want their daughters to turn into caverns!
I don't think so. My dad can be a giant racist, but I don't think he actually cares that much. He just uses race/sex/age as an easy way to insult whoever is pissing him off at the time
They'd all probably be like wtf, but they wouldn't be racist to her face. And they would end up liking her after a little while. Just the beginning of the relationship would be awkward.

My parents harbor no negative feelings or those of uneasiness towards other races and ethnicities, especially my mom since she works with them a lot in her line of work.

I'm not sure. I don't THINK they would, but sometimes my family has uncomfortable moments where they seem to use the term "those white people" in a way I don't think is right, that could just be politics though in which case they're talking about republicans really. I'm leaning towards them not having a huge problem about race.
