I'm a white guy dating a black girl, we get on extremely well, have similar interests, she's not a negative stereotype just a nice down to earth girl. I defend her because people think she's some ghetto street rude girl so I definetly feel for her.
I've had flings with black girls before but this is the first time I've been in a relationship with a black girl. I've never really experienced racist comments towards me before but all the sudden I've been called all sorts of things mainly by black men that know her and her family but I don't say anything because I don't to cause a fight. My main worry is her dad, he was quite traditional views on relationship that white and black people shouldn't date each other. He openly said to me that he thinks I'm a nice young man but he doesn't want dating her simply because I'm white.
It's quite awkward because I'm trying to be nice to him because of my girlfriend. She told that he hassles her all the time about me and that she'll never brake up with me over something stupid as that. I do trust her and will continue despite what her family and others think.
The reason I'm posting is to ask for your advice of the situation. How can I make things better? it's getting to the point where I've come so close to answering him back. Normally we just stay at mine as I have my own place but still it shouldn't be like this. If anyone else is in a interracial relationship how do you deal with bad comments said about you? I would really appreciate your advice. Thank you
