Hun, iam not too sure what to tell ya. i've never understood racist people either so i cant even try to get you to understand where your parents are coming from. maybe you could sit them down and tell them that you both really care for each other and that you want them to meet him and get to know him for HIM not for his colour. Ya never know, maybe they'll learn to see him for who he is rather than his race. Best of luck  .....  |

I have never been faced with a problem like that, where I am from, everyone is "white" but I do not have anything against someone who is not. They are people just like us and maybe you should try and have a mature conversation with your parents and see if you can let them get to know him for who he is. I hope things go well.

What matters is what YOU think. I don't mean to encourage you to go against your parents. But your eyes are open, be thankful of that. Everything else will fall into place. Tell your parents how you feel and then be honest. I dunno how old you are, but just remember, "To thine own self be true."~*~Lievout~*~  |

I am not sure as to what to tell you except ask them to let him come over and monitor how he acts so they can see with thier own eyes.Good luck i am very sorry that you are going through this.  |

He's from Laos, eh? Laosian, I think. LOL. Well, do what you feel is right. If he treats you right then there's on harm. I think your parents are just goin' on the stereotype of Laosian/Thai people. Or maybe they just don't like interracial dating. Maybe you could sit down with them and tell them what year it is. LOL j/k. Seriously, ask them what their problem with him is. If they offer valid points then that's good. If they use the same old dung as excuses then maybe it's time for you to clue them in as to what exactly is goin' on in the world. Explain to them how important it is to you that they accept this guy. Try to make them understand that you're not doin' it to get a rise out of them. I don't know what else to say. Take care and good luck...Gallytuck.  |

I don't know really how you can get your parents to really open up and see him, for who he is, beside what race he is. Maybe try invinting him over as a friend and let your parents get to know him, then when they start seeing how nice and good he is to you, then try bringing up the subject of the fact that he is more that just your good friend. It's a suggestion, that is the only thing I can think of.  |

I think you should sit your parents down and tell them how you feel. Tell them what a great guy he is and that just because he is loacean(whatever it is) doesn't have anything to do with what kind of person he is. If they don't get that then its there loss on getting to know this great guy. Tell them that what they think of him won't afect your feelings for him because he is important to you. Just hang in there, I hope they see the light on the situation. God Bless! SoulSinger4ever |
