All right. I'm 19 and I'm black/native american/irish [isn't that just an awesome mix of love?? hah] So, pretty much since I discovered boys... I've always been attracted to the lighter skinned ones [some say it's cause I'm racist since I'm light myself]. I'm not exactly sure why. But I've only dated white guys.. since the 6th grade.. I don't believe that I'm racist, I just like what I like.
Anyway, I'm also bisexual.. and haven't come out to any family member at all. It was hard enough getting them to stop their stupid comments over my love for the white chocolate.. And right now, I'm pretty much falling head over heels for this girl.. and she's white. So not only is that gonna be a huge thing for a my family that its a chick, but she's also a white chick.. I'm not too sure what to do in this department. I kinda just wanna stand on a mountain top and scream that i love her.. So that double whammy has my brain going into overdrive.. I guess I'm asking, if you're dating the same sex but different race and you've told your family.. how did they re-act? how does it make you feel? and do you regret saying anything at all?

Hey we all like what we like and god only knows what creates that thing in our minds/hearts that tells us someone of one race/color/body build etc. is more appealing then some other type.
I'm more of the smorgasboard type, have never seen a race that didn't have at least a few guys that made me hot but I tend to prefer darker skin over the white, just as I prefer long haired guys over short and tall well built over smaller, slimmer but even with my preferences I still find that odd one who really creates a spark. So, has your family known all along that you are bi? Or is that going to come as a big shock to them so the fact that your bi and hot for a white girl will come as a double whammy to them? I have ten kids, two are bi, one goes doesn't care what race someone is (my daughter) while my son tends to prefer to stick to white...but the boy does lack imagination too. The deal is you are who you are and your family will have to love and accept you as you are or they won't and there is nothing you can do to change who they are and I pray you do not try to change yourself to be someone your not in order to keep their love, it's not real love when it's gotten that way. Good luck and be true to your heart. ( BTW, does this girl feel the same way about you?)

Thanks for the advice. My family doesn't know at all that I'm bi. So there's that.. and then the fact that the girl is white also.. which, makes for the double whammy..
I'm not going to change. I'm never going to change myself for anyone, so don't worry about that haha. And yes, she does feel the same way I do about her.. that's what makes it so hard. I wanna share her with the world.. but.. I just can't right now.

Well at least your feelings are returned, that gives you someone in your cornor who understands when things get real tough.
Boy I wish there were something I could tell you that would help with your parents/family. The whole thing about race and sexual preferences is just something that I never had to deal with in my own family, even my mother who was a real psycho in so many ways was very openly friendly to people who were gay/bi/transvestite and to other races and my mind just totaly blanks when I run into people who get so angry over these things, I can't for the life of me understand what internal fear button is being pushed when they react so negatively. At least when two women share a house/apartment most people do not assume they are in a sexual realtionship as they do when it's two people of opposite sexs, is there any chance you two can just be "room mates" for awhile until you can be open with your folks?
