[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It just did not happen when I was growing up, and where I was growing up.  It seems more prevalent now.  Does your child date someone from a different race?  Are you okay with it, honestly.  Does it make a difference what the other race is (i.e., are you okay if it's one race, but not so okay if it's another)?  Has your child ever asked you point blank what your feelings are on the issue?[/quote]

The problem with this thread is that there 2-4 serial posters who are race baiting.

OP, back to your original question, I was asked point blank by my teenager what my feelings were if she were to date a person of another race.  It caught me off guard, and I deflected asking questions about whether she had someone in mind, whether she thought it would be a problem, etc., etc.  I never did answer her question, and I feel bad that I have not.  I'm still working through the response.  I do want to be supportive, and I know that whatever the race of the boy she becomes attracted to, the boy will be handsome, and smart, and polite, because that is what she is attracted to.  But I grew up in a different time in a different place, and this type of thing just did not happen.[/quote]
