re: OT parents: what would you do if your kid brought home someone of another race?

I married outside my race, so zero fricks given about color as long as the person ain't trashy.

I would think this would be how most parents today would feel, but this thread says different. I am 38 (just to give everyone an idea what generations we are talking about) and dating outside of your race was kind of a foreign concept to my parents. It was a big deal to them if a white person was with a black person, but they were not really against it, it was just something that I guess.. they were taught was a "no-no"..

My grandparents on the other hand, especially my grandpa.. I am not exaggerating. If someone would have brought someone of a different race to his house he was going to get his gun..lol.. I know it might not be that funny when you think about it... but when you are talking about people living in the time.. its funny. I could tell yall a few things that he would say or do that was funny as hell, but it would get me banned, but my point is, it seems like it has become more and more acceptable with each generation.

I just don't understand people who say they would not rather their child be with someone of a different race, who makes them happy, etc
