Blog#7:Family won't approve of my girlfriend's race


A couple that lives outside of France, is a white guy and an Afro-Caribbean girl who is also an immigrant.  The guy says that he is afraid to tell his family that he is dating a girl from a different race. He thinks his family will disown him and possibly also kick him out of his own house.  This is a problem from him because he is madly in love with this girl that he works with, and she is upset with him because he won’t introduce her to his family.  The editor of this story thinks he should introduce her as a friend initially and then later on say the friendship has deepened.  This way his family may feel less threatened.  Otherwise the editor says he needs to be brave and tell them about the girl he is so in love with, and be clear that you are not seeking their OK because you are an adult. 

I think this story is a problem for many problems worldwide.  This is because there are many interracial couples now.  Many people want approval from their families about their loved ones, but will never get it.  A lot of us want our families’ approval to make sure we are making a good decision.  I know myself and I would want the approval from my family, however interracial wouldn’t be a problem for my family.  I believe that it is the love that makes a relationship not the color that you are.  I think there are many bigger issues then families not accepting a different race person in the family.  As long as you are being treated right, families should be good with that.  Family is a big part of many of our lives, not having the approval from your family can ruin relationships with some people for that reason.
