boyfriend only likes “white” (please reply)

Let’s start this off with that I love my boyfriend to death. But I’m thinking of cutting my long hair short, and I’m Hispanic but look white. So my hair isn’t the curliest but when I cut my hair short, it tends to be a bit more curly.

First, he doesn’t want me to and says he’s not going to like it on me. I ask him if he’ll find me less attractive and he says no I ask him something similar he says I don’t Know.

Any haircut/style that doesn’t looks stereotypically “white” he doesn’t like and I feel like if I looked like what the general population thinks is “Hispanic” than he would have never been interested in me in the first place.

I understand people have preferences I just don’t know how to make myself happy while making him happy.

My hair has been a bit of a thing ever since I’ve been saying I’m going to cut my hair short and style it the way I showed him. Which includes braids, rubber bands etc. so “Ethnic” hair styles

He’s amazing in every other way but with this he just isn’t

This is how my hair would look short. So it’s not even that curly but yeah.
