As an Indian guy who dates outside his race a lot this is a problem I will probably eventually encounter. My parents are old fashioned and would probably disown me if I married outside my race (which I probably will). I have accepted that as a possibility. Would you guys choose your parents over your SO.

How about you solve all your problems and never get married?

I love my parents, but if I had the luck of meeting a man I loved, and who fit well with me, then I wouldn't care whether, or not, my parents liked me. I am a believer once you have a lover--that you actually love, genuinely, they become your top priority-over family, friends, and even kids. Don't abandon you family and friends, but prioritize correctly, depending on your beliefs of course.

So, I love my parents, but they won't be around forever. So, if I dump guys based around my parents not liking them, then what's left for me when they have passed on and a chased everyone away for them? So I end up old and alone. Not a pretty future. But I don't have to worry because there's no guys in my life anyhow, sans my infatuation.

I don't talk to my parents so it wouldn't be an issue. But if I did, I'd still choose my fiancé.

You just answered your own question.

You will most likely (assuming you are successful at dating) marry a white woman.

Your parents will not approve.

They may disown you.

So... this has nothing to do with any of us here.

It's all about what's most important to you.

Since you don't have a fiancee yet, this is all pure speculation on your part. Who knows how you may feel a year or two or three down the road?

Come back when you have to choose between the blonde, white fiancee and your parents' approval (and money).
