How do your parents feel about you dating outside of your race?

Generalisation

Fortunately they're not racist. If they were, I would call them out on it and would probably have a bad relationship with them. If there's one thing I don't tolerate, it's racism, no matter how someone tries to justify it.

If an individual is racist because of their parents beliefs, they're just as bad, imo. Racism is a disgusting trait.

Regardless, I don't date anyway.

The two statements you made directly contradict each other, unless the second was a joke.

I also don't see what's very funny about the statement your dad made.

Its true though.

Indians don't dislike black people or think they're inherently scum...

It's that when it comes to MARRIAGE, they're not on the list.

While I'm not saying that's OK, you don't need to make it out as if Indians hate black people, don't talk to them, aren't friends or something.
People overdo stereotypes SO much on TSR.

Edit: for what it's worth we have an African man in our family lol

Why not hope a friendship is for life? Friendships can be for life but also breakdown just as other relationships. You've probably never lost friendship with a long term childhood friends then if you can say that.

No I haven't introduced them, we're not at that stage yet. I don't know how they will respond but I do know they are very hospitable so should be welcoming. Her culture is my culture, I have been born, bred and educated in Britain. I'm not a tribesman from a long lost tribe in South America.
So your child has Indians friends that seem rude to you so you judge a whole race on that? We will raise our children well, taken the positives from both cultures. That doesn't mean I value women of less importance then men. Of course I would treat her well, after all you judge a mans character based on what he behaves like when he is angry, there has been times when we have got angry at each other. I've chosen to go outside for a walk, come back, apologise and make up. Why would I revert to more the way I was raised as I grow older? As I am growing older I am living more and more independently having less and less contact with my family if anything I would start to behave differently from how I was raised.

Your questions, make me think what do you think Muslim & Indian culture is. Have you ever visited a Muslim & Indian household and seen how the women are treated.

You hope friendships will be for life but as you get older you'll discover that many do not last that long - and also that young people do often turn into their parents, however much they dislike the idea.

You say that your culture is her culture as you were born and raised here but so were my child's Indian friends who lack any concept of English manners. When younger I had Indian friends who were older than me (and as they were fond of pointing out had lived here longer than me) but their culture was still not my culture. After 3 or 4 generations then it is likely that both cultures will change and become more similar but it hasn't happened yet. I've had long discussions with Muslims about the differences in culture and how their women are treated. Incidentally one of the differences in culture you don't seem to recognise is over when a girlfriend/boyfriend is introduced to a family. If you are having a serious relationship with your girlfriend then her parents will think it strange if you have not introduced her to your family.

Yes it is worth noting we have only been dating a few months, with probably half of that being long distance so neither of us are ready to introduce ourselves to each others parents. I must also state that my brother is also an British Indian Muslim, who has a girlfriend that is white British, she has been introduced to our parents as has he to hers. The reason I have not introduced her to my parents is I am not ready, not because of any cultural differences. What has my parents view on the matter have anything to do with it anyway, she is dating me not my family.

This thread was about how your parents would feel about you dating outside your race, to ask what your parents have to do with it is ridiculous.
