They don’t agree with the girl I have been dating.
user

So, why do you think they think that?
assistant
Restatement or Paraphrasing
Because of her race. She is black.

I can see why you would be upset about that. So, that is the only reason they don't approve. At this point when they are not as upset you may want to share all the reason she a great girlfriend. If it is based totally on race not sure you can change their minds.

You are right. But I’m afraid it is solely based on race. She is such a great person. I wish they could look past her race.

I completely understand that and if you really like her and they see how happy she makes you maybe they will come around.
assistant

I hope so. But they are old school. I just lost my cool.

I would be upset too so, it's understandable. Just reassure them you love them and your happy and hopefully one day they will be happy with your decesion. If not then it is your decesion who you date and I think they know that too.
