[quote=Anonymous]Ugh, so awkward! I'm sorry, OP. My mother's family would perhaps have behaved like this boy's parents.

The thing is, that type of people might readily accept your child, and yourself, into their family if these kids were to get married. You two personally, as individuals, might be loved and valued. However, you would be constantly hearing more or less racist comments about the Black community as a whole, for ever.

My father is Japanese. In my mother's family, and at the time they got married, it was probably one of the least-shocking non-white ethnicity in their world view. However some people didn't speak to her or her husband for years, not because of hate but fear of the unknown. When they did they were extravagantly polite. They couldn't figure out how to interact with someone who did not share their culture or language. My parents have been married for more than 30 years and finally everyone is now comfortable with each other!

So, unless these children stay madly in love, not a good idea to pursue the relationship...
