Tony T Posted November 19, 2000 Share Posted November 19, 2000 Most men are attracted to nice looking Hispanic ladies so you don't have a problem there. Your problem is in your own attitude about yourself. You have to stop feeling that men will reject you because you are Hispanic. Men accept or reject women depending on whether or not they are attracted to them...not their ethnic origin. While I don't think it is at all fair for your mother to dictate what men you can go out with, especially if you are 18 or older, as long as you live in her house you need to keep some things to yourself. When you judge who you wish to go out with, no matter what race, you should always consider how they will be accepted by your family. If you plan to marry them, consider what social consequences you and your future children will have to endure. I think society has become a lot more accepting of interracial relationships and marriages in recent years but there is still a price you have to pay for being in one. See who makes you happy. Marry who makes you happy. Weigh the consquences. I think it may be better to pass on specific men rather than risk being disowned by your family. Think this out for yourself. The decision is yours.
