white and dating a Hispanic guy?

Question

So I'm with a Hispanic guy, and his family is all Hispanic and I'm pretty white and they don't like me and I've tried and tried to impress them and be super nice but they don't like me, any ideas what to do?

Answer

Some older generations are just set in their ways, unfortunately, and may act prejudice towards you. Just keep your head up, continue being nice, and hopefully they'll warm up to you. It would help if your man could stand up for you as well.

Answer

It's the culture. The older generations fear that the culture is dying out with the newer generations, and it's made worse when they mix with other races/cultures. (How can a white mom teach a Latino baby how to speak Spanish, cook certain family recipes, learn certain traditions, etc?) And it's true...the newer generations speak little to no Spanish most of the time, and are a lot more Americanized. They don't know their own culture as well as they should. 
It's nothing against you, and I'm not saying it's right that they treat you that way. It's not, they should be more concerned about if you make him happy than anything else. But that's their concerns. Maybe try learning about their culture...if his mom is cooking, ask her to show you what she's making. Try picking up a little bit of spanish. Ask about family traditions. Hopefully, they'll see you making an effort and warm up to you.

Answer

If they don't like you because you're white and he hasn't stood up to them my idea is to get a new boyfriend LOL

Answer

I'm sorry but they sound ignorant and racist. I'm white and my husband is Hispanic. His family loved me since day 1. Only his sister didn't like me cause I'm white and apprentley she is jealous of me being the new daughter in law for her parents. They treat me like a daughter and it fuels anger for her

Answer

Hang in there :) If you truly love your boyfriend, they will SEE it themselves and that'll be enough reason for them to like you. I wouldn't take it personally, I'm sure they are just getting used to a "white" person around their family. They will learn to like you for you! So just hang in there. :)

Answer

They just don't like you. That want him to be with a woman who is Hispanic like him. They might accept you or they might not. If you want to be with him then be with him and try not to give too much thought as to what his family thinks.

Answer

He should put his foot down for one, and if he doesn't leave him. If he is defending you then brush them off. You can't please everyone.
