How do I introduce my white boyfriend to my Mexican family?

[stephyy1019]

Im 18 and I have a 22 year old white boyfriend. We have been dating for almost two months and he says he wants to meet my family. My family isn't crazy or anything but I'm mostly nervous about introducing him to my mom because she judges people right off the bat. My mom doesn't speak English and my boyfriend doesn't speak much Spanish. Also, the day I told my mom my boyfriend was white she made a face and said in Spanish, "We only want beaners and 'paisas' around here," that made me feel like if I introduced her to my boyfriend she would be rude or not accepting of him. My dad isn't really a problem though because he's always been silent and I know if I intorduce my boyfriend to him my dad won't interrogate him or anything and plus he has a lot in common with him since they're both mechanics and like soccer and sports. Same with my older brother I don't think they'll have problems either. I'm just nervous about introducing him to my mom AND my little brother. My little brother is just like my mom and he's only 13. He has stereotypical ideas about both blacks and whites. I'm so nervous about this and its happening this Sunday. Could anyone give me any ideas about how to break the ice or make everything less awkward?

If you want to break the ice, hit it with a hammer (DRUG YOUR PARENTS).

make them get to know him.. theyll understand once they know who he is. if they dont (unlikely) screw it. its your decision not theirs

I would say take a risk. You never know if things turn out well.
