How would your family react if you date someone of another race?

This guy I've been dating- well I guess now he's officially my boyfriend- is Asian and I'm Caucasian/part Native American (though I don't look Native American at all since I'm so damn pale with lighter features). I have been a bit worried because my parents can be really judgemental and I really want them to be accepting of him. So today I showed a picture of my boyfriend to my parents. It was a relief when my dad said "You guys look good together. I'm glad you're happy."

My family would be open and welcoming.

Many members of my family are married to partners of different races. I have no issues with it whatsoever. They can love and marry whomever they choose. As long as they are treated with love and respect I am happy for them and happy to welcome the new member(s) into our family.
I'm getting married with someone from another race soon and my he was welcomed to my family. My parents already met him and my mom liked him already.

I did once many years ago...My mom acted as if it was the worst thing to ever happen in this world, my dad went through the roof. It didn't work out but not because of that. I personally believed that if love was real and it was meant to be then race or ethnicity didn't matter, but my parents were and probably still are disguised Christian bigots (they didn't hate others of other races and ethnicities, we just didn't mix with them is what they believed God commanded).

My parents were not happy. None of my family were, it's part of why I didn't see half my family for a long time all those years ago.

@SW-User I'm sorry to hear that.
My family wouldn’t bat an eyelid, it’s 2018 not 1950.

@Helpinghands Some families are still stuck in the 1950s. Like I already know my grandma won't like him because she doesn't believe in interracial couples and constantly says that it makes her sick to see people of different race together.
@NaturallyPeculiar I’m sorry to hear that, it sounds very different to my family and I’m grateful for that. I’m glad for you that your dad is happy for you with your boyfriend.
