"They Hate My White Boyfriend"
IMW: Fat Girl Love Taken straight from The Diary Project (go to: www.diaryproject.com).

by Mariata, 16, female
My family hates my boyfriend, who is white.

On Christmas, I brought my bf,Mike, to our family party. When I introduced him to the members of my family, they seemed all nice about it, but when I asked everyone what they thought, they'd be like, "Why are you dating someone who's not like you..you can do so much better." or "Why him? why not someone Filipino like you?" stuff like that.

I was so #####ed off. My parents DEFINITELY don't like him, because they talk crap about him and don't let me go out with him, unless there's PARENTAL SUPERVISION...OKAY I only see him in school and at my house when my parents are home.

kilo1 says "I'm an interracial kid. My mom is white and my dad is black. Sure, it has been awkward at times, but I don't feel 'out of place' and I don't feel that my race has been messed up."

Do you know anyone who's interracial? Post Reply
I don't care what they think, but it makes me so damn uncomfortable when it comes to seeing him. My parents don't talk to him & hardly look at him. My brother makes fun of him cuz he's a jock (he hates preppy jocks). My sister is okay with it(she thinks he's nice and cute)and my other sister says that I should stay in my race. It seems like I'm dating a fool....BUT HE'S NOT!

Everyone is just making everything hard for me. It seems like they think it's wrong to inter-race. Too bad if they think an Asian & a white looks weird, but I really like this guy. They shouldn't spoil it for me.

I can't help dating a white. 80% of my school is white and the Asians in my school are kinda nerdy (not to be mean, but it's quite obvious). Plus, I'm a cheerleader and I'm always at Mike's Football/Basketball games -n- we always see each other everywhere!

All of my friends(white, asian) think we're such a good couple. Mike is a great guy and the nicest guy I know. My cousins say I'm too white-washed. Now I don't feel like seeing him anymore,because I feel awkward from those negative thoughts that everyone told me about inter-racing. Why is everyone making it such a big deal?
