If I bring my foreigner boyfriend (the color of skin doesn’t matter here), my parents would be really surprised. Still, “foreigners” are special for Japanese. Just because my boyfriend is foreigner, first of all, I have to convince my anxious parents that he is just same as you and he is not an alien. ( to live in Japan, you have to get a card called “Alien Card”. I think it sounds terrible)
You also have to try really hard to take off stereotype images from your family members and relatives.
To solve this, you should present your partner to your family little by little, and then they will get used to and start liking him/her, I guess.
If your parents don’t like your partner, what would you do? You will just give up?
Your parents’ opinions or the love with your bf/gf, which one is more important for you?
Thank you

This is a very difficult question for anyone to answer. To be honest, I'm not sure what is more important. In this situation, I would try to show my parents how my boyfriend is a very good person. If they did not care to get to know him, then I would say my boyfriend would come first. If they got to know him and still did not like him based on his personallity, then my parents would come first. Either way this is a very difficult question to answer.
