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 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.
