<human>: We have known each other about a year and have been dating the past few months. I [21F] really care about him [26M] and I can tell he feels the same way.

My boyfriend told me this weekend that he would really like to get to know my family, and wants to take them out to dinner. I thought this was very sweet, if a little unexpected (most men I know are afraid to meet the parents), and told him I'd figure out a day that works for everybody.

This evening, I got home, and told my mother that my boyfriend wanted to take her and my grandmother out. She rolled her eyes, said a few racist things and something about "we don't need them in our family", and walked away. We have guests over for a few weeks, so I didn't continue the conversation.

However, I now need to either figure out a way to change my mother's attitude (not likely) or tell my boyfriend what happened (which would hurt his feelings and possibly our relationship.) The cultural differences do not bother either of us, and his family seems to like me. I would never break up with him over something so stupid, but I'm afraid he will not want to be with me if he thinks my family doesn't accept him.

Has anybody been in a similar situation? Any advice? I have no idea how to handle this.

<bot>: My mother dislikes my boyfriend based on race alone, I don't care but I don't want him to feel rejected.
