I'm a white guy who married a Black girl, everything has been going good not to many problems, but I was kind of curious which family had the hardest time, or most difficulty accepting this. I ask because my wife said that her family had a talk to her when she stopped dating black men. It hasn't been in an issue in our marriage, I'm just curious what others have noticed in these types of relationships.
I am lucky. I'm a black woman who married a white man and my family had no problems with it. It dated white men before so it was no shocker.
For my husband, his biggest fear was telling his father when we were dating. His grandfather didn't believe in interracial dating and his father told him he'd be disowned if he married outside of his race. He waited until he was ready to propose to tell his father about me (his father lives out of state and they hadn't spoke in a few years) and by some blessing his 60-something father said it didn't matter, as long as he's happy and gave his blessing. A month later we were engaged and I went to meet his father who has been the sweetest, most lovable dad-in-law ever.
My family loves him and his loves me. We are very blessed.

White guy here, coupled with a Mexican girl. Neither of our families have said anything openly to us about us being an interracial couple; they don't even make any jokes about it (and we've been together for almost four years). I suspect that both our families would be less tolerant if either of us were black, though, sad to say. But two of her sisters have said they would never date a white guy?
I'm Asian and married a white woman. Our parents had no problems with it. The only objection was from her grandmother, who never voiced anything to me, but sent my then fiancée articles of how Asians beat their wives until her father put a stop to it. She eventually came around and told my wife that she was comforted since I would be a good provider and take care of her. I think she figured out that race didn't matter after the events leading up to the divorce of my wife's sister.

Married 17 years, I'm white and my DH is Asian. His mother does not like white women.....so, yah. Guess that explains it. My MIL and I get along well enough at this point but I don't take her seriously, nor do I let her comments bother me. My Asian SIL is married to a white guy and my MIL is a bit nicer to him, but not a lot. I also believe she suffers from "no one will ever be good enough for my kids syndrome," no matter the racial background. Her female friends are always other Asian women and she seems to mostly take issue with white and black women, based on her comments and behavior.
My grandmother is very elderly and quite the bigot. She knows better than to say anything in front of us/our kids but I know how she is. We don't see her often and my DH doesn't care about her bigotry one way or the other. My parents were/are very accepting, never a problem.
I've knew a couple who had a mixed marriage at one point but for some reason the marriage never lasted. I'm talking white/black here. I think pressure from the family had something to do with it. More so from thier so called friend's who thought they should be with someone of thier own race. They never had any children there marriage only last just over a year.
