If you are dating a Caucasian girl who has a mother who does not want her daughter dating a man of a different race than her own, it creates an inter-racial conflict. This is a very difficult situation, varying mainly on the type of person you are dealing with. Hopefully, your girlfriend's mother is of the type who will have the respect to get to know who you really are. Even if this is not the case, try this. Show the mother/father that you are a kind, caring, and respectful person. Show them you have class and confidence, but don't act cocky. Most importantly let them see the care you have for their child. Always stay respectful, no matter what the situation, show them that their criticism can be taken and listened to; do not blow up on them, start a fight, etc. Always keep your cool, this will definitely make a positive impact, and hopefully they will see that no matter the 'race', anybody can be a great person. Try to show her that your a good person. If she is white, she probably won't like you walking around trying to act "ghetto". Treat her and her daughter with respect and she might eventually come around. In my opinion saying the word "ghetto" is so racial.
== == I love how everyone's first assumption is "Black Guy/White Girl". Interracial can be anything from Black and White, a Latino and Eastern Indian, Asian and Pacific Islander. So let's drop some of our preconceived notions of what we think 'interracial' is. Dating someone different from what your parents have envisioned for you is a difficult task; especially when it is for reasons of hate or ignorance. Here are a few things to keep in mind when choosing to move forward in this kind of relationship. How close are you to your disapproving parents? Do you still live with them? Are you of legal consenting age? Are they? How important is this person you are choosing to date? Do you see a real future? Or is this just a 'middle school romance'? Do you have enough similar interests and values to present to the disapproving parent? The bottom line is exactly what has been mention in some of the above answers, follow your heart. Make sure you know what the consequences of your decision is? (in either direction...) and practice safe sex ;)

How do you get your parents to let you get a red tail boa?
You have to know whether your parents approve of a snake as a pet in the first place. If not, you're out of luck. If so, then you first have to persuade them that you can handle caring for a pet (especially a snake).

Do all parents behave the same way when they come to know that you are committed?
No their reaction depends on various factors such as your age, your perceived maturity level and their own cultural exposure. I have many friends whose parents accepted the fact that their child is in relationship very well, infact guided him at times on how to handle tricky situations. While on the other side some of my friends hide their relationship status from their parents cause they fear that they will be scolded by them. So its not that you can generalise parents' reaction to child's relationship and its up to us how to handle their reaction depending on situations.

Can a sixteen year old girl date any guy she wants even if the parents don not approve?
No, a 16 year old girl cannot date any guy she likes while living under her parents roof if they do not approve. At 16 you are a minor until 18. Be smart, know your parents love you and are trying to protect you. Like it or not there are a lot of dangerous things going on out there such as date rape drugs; drugs; alcohol and parties you may want to go too that are far to wild for you to handle and you could well end up a target by the wrong sort of person.

Your parents made you break up with your boyfriend?
Parents do such things when their kids are not mature enough. They feel insecure about you and do not want you to get hurt. All you can do is convince them that you are mature enough to handle these things .As unfair as it may seem now, your parents probably have a very good reason for their opinion. Remember that your parents are more experienced in life than you are right now. Also, if your relationship was meant to be, you will be able to repair it when you are an adult and on your own.
