" While I'm glad your not a racist I do think you should wait until you are on your own and paying your own bills before you date people your parents will not approve of.
Yes their attitude is wrong but while you are living at their expense in their home you need to at least abide by their rules even if you cannot respect this certain area.
I do have a question though. You seem to prefer dating black men but do you also have black girlfriends? If your circle of friends is open to those of many races and you brought them home it might help ease your parents attitudes since most racism is based on total ignorance and not any real life event.
