Dood you're 22. Who cares if you still live at home - you're a man and an adult - as one you should be able to see who you like freely. What is she going to do, kick you out of the house? (Which might be good for you) My advice - bring her home and have your mom meet her. Maybe she'll change her mind after she meets her. If not, tell your mom you really like this girl and you're going to continue seeing her. But for gods sake don't do nothing - if the girl feels like you're embarressed by her then she's going to find someone else. You need to stand up for her.

Wow thats like the most useful advice in this whole threat and quite possibly in the history of girl threads, to my knowledge.

To clarify, she added "why cant you meet a white girl?"

u should give ur mom a KKK application and a new set of white bedsheets for her next birthday.

That hardly makes her a hardcore racist and supremacist.

but she sure does sound like a bigot.

There's also a difference between being a bigot and wanting her son to date a white girl. She prefers for her son to date white girls - does that mean she dislikes hispanic girls? No....she just prefers them over hispanics

your wrong...hispanic is a term used to clump people from most south american countries together...i personally dont like that term are u from hispanola?

hispanic is an ethnicity used to describe people from spanish speaking countries, not only those from south america.

naw, i was born here but my parents moved over when they were in their teens. my fam is from spain and i call myself hispanic.

I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic or serious. But in all seriousness - stand up for this girl if you really like her, even if that means standing up to your mom. Your old enough that she can't control you anymore.

just out of curiousity since your roots are from spain why dont you refer to yourself as a spainard or spanish
 
Personally I would tell your mother to get bent, and see the girl, and be happy.
that is the most retarded thing a mom could possibly ask!

Correct me if I'm worng (read: flame me into psychosis), but I was of the understanding that people from Spain were technically caucasian, given their obvious european association (association = least offensive word to come to mind at the time 😉).

well 'cause cuz being a spaniard means that your nationality is spanish (i'm refering to country of origin, not the spanish language.) spanish is not an ethnicity. my nationality is american. my ethnicity is hispanic. my race is white. i don't know if this makes sense to anybody, but it's always how i've seen it.

 
Your mom is wrong. You have every right to continue seeing this girl. Be a man and stand up for what you believe in. If your mother doesn't like it, that's something she should discuss with her shrink.

well i dunno. i've always thought that people from spain shared a slightly different culture than caucasians, and that's why i refer to my ethnicity as hispanic. the race of spaniards (and myself), however, is still white.

 
without reading the whole thread:

Either tell your mom about her in a way that it suggests that she's hispanic and look for a reaction, or just introduce her and deal with it from there, regardless of the reaction. I certainly wouldn't stop seeing the girl because of this, but don't think I'd tell your g/f about it, not yet because that'll just put pressure on her.
