Your parents aren’t going to date your partner, so their opinions on her race mean absolutely nothing

Thank you. I am Filipino and have experienced racism my entire life living in the US and growing up in the south. I wasn't sure what to say but when I see comments like not dating someone of a specific race - obviously its enraging.

You're completely right. Her race does not matter and parents get no say in who you date as an adult.
