Or maybe I will just live my life not worrying about the opinions of others...
Sarcasm much? You may not be concerned about others' experiences and that's fine. However, interracial families and relationships are a concern for those in them, and it is always a concern when moving to a new place, especially if it is a different culture. I'm not saying the South is a homogeneous mecca of intolerance or racism, but they are real concerns whether you are worried about it or not. From my experience, Nashville is a welcoming city and the op's family should have no problems living here.
