As a person in an interracial relationship, you may already be aware of how race impacts society, from the individual experience to larger systemic issues. Not to get too specific (the reason is doxxable info) but I don’t think my race will be a problem with his parents, but even if it is, I want a chance to ask him and THEN leave rather than just making assumptions and blocking a guy I think could be a really nice fit with me.
