"Mom, Dad this is Suellen Esther."
Did you live with your parents when you were growing up? Did they raise you?
If yes...you mean you actually do not have a clue whether or not your parents are racist or have a problem with interracial dating?
If they have never said anything in the negative, that is a positive...if your parents were racist you most likely would have known about it by now.
And if your parents are racist then you will soon find out...
If your parents are human then they will not have a problem with your GF's mixed race and will greet her the same as any other gf you have brought home.
"Mom and Dad, this is [Girl's first name]" then everybody shakes hands, hugs or whatever is the standard greeting for people in your house.
Unless your parents have shown substantial evidence that they will not approve of you dating a bi-racial girl (or girl of a different race as you), give them a benefit of the doubt.
No one else in your family dating a bi-racial person is not direct evidence of disapproval, it could just be personal preference. I'm the only person is my family that dated/married outside my race and no one had any issues with it.
Tell them youre gay.Then After a couple of days, they'll be pleased to meet her.
"Mom, Dad, this is my beautiful girlfriend (Betty Sue)." Look and smile at her, then look back at your parents.
maybe you should tell your parents first so that it isn't awkward when they first meet her & they might expect a white girl. Either way your parents should respect her & your decision to want to be in a relationship with her. It's 2011 race shouldn't be a issue.
Damn.. what decade are we living in? Or are you from Texas
