My parents are interracially married, so it's a moot point. However, one of my father's relatives once told me I should marry someone black to "retain the heritage"... :(

I hate that close-minded bigotry. Genetic diversity is good for the race of human-kind. My mom doesn't care if I get married and is happy with my adamant decision never to do so....but she would not flinch no matter who I was dating....in regards to race.

Yes my mother would rather my date someone of the same sex rather than of another race.

yes. i dated a half Japanese/half Hawaiian guy and then an Egyptian Canadian and my parents asked me what was wrong with a nice White American boy.

Yes. My mom didn't even want me to have close friends of another race when I was young.
Oh well. Once I was out of her house, I knew I'd be able to date whomever I wanted, but I know very well how she still feels about that kind of thing. It's the way she was raised. I'm glad that somehow I managed to grow up with a different mindset. I'm not sure how, because I'm the only one of four siblings that feels differently. I am grateful.

at this point in my life, it's all moot. whatever race, whatever gender, the family would prolly be relieved just to get me married off.

Yes. It's completely ridiculous especially since my parents can't even verify their own races.

Racism is disgusting, sorry to hear your mom is one. If my parents had any opinion on it, I don't know if they would have said anything or not. My dad seems pretty racist, but I doubt he would have tried to stop me because I know he'd have wanted me to be happy. The good news is it sounds like your mom wants to protect you. She's just trying to "protect" you from black guys which she thinks are scary. Good luck.
