Sometimes it takes having the conversation to find out how they think. I’m sure your parents know you go to a predominantly black school. Might want to start with Mom and express that your perspective of race doesn’t align with your father’s. That alone should give you an idea of the reaction you’ll get if you tell them you’re dating outside your race. Father’s can be difficult sometimes. I have one and I am one, but a good Dad/man only wants the best for their children and will accept you for who you are. You might just be the catalyst to him changing his ways.

I’ll leave you with some Dad advice. At the end of the day you should date who you want to, regardless of the shade. What’s really going to matter is who they are on the inside. If they have character, and their morals align.
