It is so tempting to sit here and argue with you. But I'm going to go hug the hell out of my mixed race daughter; it sickens me that there are people who would look at her and judge her as you do. I'll pray for you.

Go back to watching The Vikings and saying how handsome Germans are. (Very telling comments.)

How odd that you are disappointed thst your daughter seems more willing to look at a person's charecter and not just how much melain one has or doesn't have.
So saying people of Germanic descent are attractive and watching "Vikings" is now racist? Dear God.

Okay - can I ask a genuine question? Did you and your partner face cultural and social issues because of your relationship?

It shows a pattern when combined with this thread.

The OP never said he didn't like the Boy. He said he did not approve of him dating his Daughter. Read that again. HIS DAUGHTER, not yours or anyone else's. And if the Truth was known 99% of the ones yelling "Racist" are glad its not their Daughter.

Really? These days I'd be much more worried about my children dating bullies, criminals, abusive people, etc. who come in all colors, cultures, and sizes. Who cares if he's purple if he's a good person who treats her right?

You have not stated any negative about this young man besides his skin color. have you even met him?

Is your Daughter over 17 years old, a Minor? I am sure his Daughter, after she is 18 can make her own decisions.

If that was their stance...maybe racist but I suspect it has more to do with religious prejudice. So unless you are against him because of your religious beliefs I don't see this as comparable. How about we just go with you are bigoted? Does that make you feel better?

No, I haven't. Admittedly I don't know much about him. My daughter lives with her mother. We're divorced. However it's no secret that African-Americans commit a disproportionate amount of crime. Is it unreasonable for me to be concerned when I contemplate it from that aspect? This is my child we're talking about. Even if I'm being over-protective, I'd rather be that than sorry.
