Most families, or rather most members of any family, regardless of race, will at least silently object to an interracial relationship.

I will say this though - my ex-girlfriend's family (black), was far more tolerant of our relationship than was my family (white). Some of her family gave us shit at first, but once they realized who / what I was, things were pretty cool. I am actually still good friends with her, her brother and a few of cousins. Now my family never said anything to me, outloud anyway, but there is a feeling you just get when you know people are displeased.

There are two forms of racism - 1) the blatant outspoken type, which can be easily dismissed as ignorance or cleared up after some getting-to-know-you and 2) the quiet stab them in the back type, which if far more damaging.
