I have personal experience on this topic. I am currently in a relationship with an African American guy. First of all, I couldn't tell my parents because they had grown up in a different culture and I was afraid of how they would take it. However, going to school in Miami helped me accept and encourage cross-cultural relationships. After explaining to my parents that no other boy treated me better than him, the most important thing for them was that I was happy with him. It also helped me improve my language skills. Sometimes, I realize that we encounter cultural differences. For example, when we cook, we always get into a little discussion about how to season the food or how to cook
