In these sort of relationships I’m always going to ask how was it being around her family?

Being from the Caribbean I comfy around the Indians who are from there but not the ones that are from actual India!
i always felt awkward around them, but mostly because of the language barrier and the inability to really make small talk. Just sitting there looking at each other like

I knew an Indian girl who only dated Black dudes- she was disowned for a while - they had her marriage arranged and everything

She's from SC but lives in ATL
when you say disowned for while, do you mean they eventually warmed back up to her?

:mjlol: at some of some of the questions in here.

One of my old homies from college used to mess with an indian chick for a good minute even after graduation. Cool chick but I remember her saying she never told her folks about the relationship (being in one with a brotha:mjpls:) because they would legit kill her.

Anyhow OP kind of reminded me of Ace on this joint, or at least when you and her were first starting out.

The same with my mom. People would assume she was Hispanic and talk to her before she had to tell them the same.
my Turkish professor said this happened to him as well. Mexicans aren't too good at discerning their own. lol

Did you ever attempt to learn the language?
Was she/family supportive of you learning?
Could it have brought you closer if you had learned?

OP
Did it ever cross your mind that her being insecure about her dark skin toned will affect your future children when y’all were dating? And now that you guys have a girl, does it indeed affect your child?
