Yes, a few times. Sometimes it was an issue of their families not wanting them involved with an outsider. Sometimes religion was a concern.

It mostly seems to be the friends and family that are concerned.
I guess they are just being protective of their loved one ..

@Niloo Yes, that makes sense.

@bijouxbroussard Usually its racism. That's why I have no contact with my white relatives. My partner is Asian and our mixed children are flourishing. Her family fully accepts me.

@Crazywaterspring Yes, often. But not always. I’ve dated Africans and their families see me as an American overall. And because I’m biracial, not quite black enough. Not all cared about that, but some did.
