I dunno - maybe I always am and maybe I've never been in one. It's hard to say. I'm really only partly ethnically american and everyone I've dated has been fully american - often it's a problem because I like the traditionalist stuff more than the american stuff in my life.

I was in one for a little while...

uhm, we personally had no issues... really it didn't come up very often...

She was a little prone to becoming up in arms if she felt someone had a problem with her race. I think it had a lot to do with the fact that she had several bad experiences.

She also had some issues telling her family about her gayness because they're really religious... but I don't think that's necessarily a race thing. Honestly, I think my family would have had a bigger problem with the color of her skin than hers would of mine.

how would you have dealt with it if your family had a problem?

i know they would have had a problem...

uhm, we never really got far enough for me to have to deal with it... but really probably the same way i dealt with the gay thing... tell them. If they have a problem, celebrate holidays elsewhere.
