Your parents do have a lot of sway on you, because you still live at home. Because you live at home, the least you can do is live by their rules. But I do think that saying who you can and cannot go out with is going beyond their limits. If you were outside of the house and you told them that, would it matter? They can't stop you forever. Remember that it is YOUR life. Yes, your parents did give birth to you, and you owe them a lot for that. But if your parents can't be happy for you when you've found happiness (interracial dating is not harmful at all... it's not like you're taking drugs or something), then you really must question them. If they really love you, they should be happy because you found someone you love... not be mad because he isn't THEIR ideal. If you love him, I'd say **** your parents. They'll get over it later on.. especially if he's a good guy. I would suggest moving out though.. your parents can very well make your life a living hell if you keep on living with them after rebelling.
