"Ahh to be young and in love"

So here's a question for all of you out there, courtesy of my Web Writing and Production teacher. 

"What would your parents or other family members say if you brought home a person from a different race than yours and said you were in love with that person and thinking about marrying him or her?"

Honest to goodness, my parents would treat him like just any other guy. Sure, my dad might grill him a teensy bit. You know, nothing serious... maybe get out the shotgun and clean it. My mom of course would want to find out his favorite food so she could feed him and make him feel at home. 

But race wouldn't be an issue.

The biggest issue for my parents would be his beliefs. They would make sure that both of us believed in the same thing. Because without the same foundation, it is mighty hard to make a relationship work.

My parents might sit me down and make sure I am aware that with a different race also comes a few cultural differences, or that some people might criticize us for our relationship. But my parents would never say, "Emily, this boy is a different color than you! What are you thinking!"

Part of it might be that my parents worked with international students for 25 years. I think most of it comes from their wisdom and their acceptance of others. 

How would you parents react?

Welcome

Hi there world.

I would like to welcome you to some of the inner workings of my mind. From time to time, I will be updating my blog with declairations (yes, I know it is spelled incorrectly) of everything from my beliefs, to my favorite hobbies, and advice on how to search for the best cars, or anything else that suites my fancy.

The reason behind the name...
My middle name is Claire, so I thought it only fitting to change the spelling of declaration to something a little quirkier. I think it is important to take a stance on issues, even if they seem insignificant and as of late, I have become too apathetic...so this is more of a way for me to train myself to speak my mind.
