Today, while meeting my boyfriend's family for the first time, the first comment I received was, "Well, at least this one is white." FML

College Life
Packed lecture halls, a sketchy roommate and frat parties: welcome to college, the real thing.
Today, I met my boyfriend's parents for the first time. His mom stared at me throughout dinner before finally blurting out, "I'm sorry, I can't get past the fact that you look just like his ex!" It turns out I do. FML
Today, my boyfriend met my dad for the first time. The first thing he said to him was, "You're an idiot for dating my daughter." FML
Today, I met my boyfriend's parents for the first time. I thought everything went well, until I got a text from him later saying, "Come on mom, she isn't THAT bad." FML
Today, I met my boyfriend's family for the first time. I was really excited to meet his brother, since his brother is his best friend. One of the first questions his brother asked me was, "He did tell you he isn't the handsome brother, right?" Followed by, "You aren't a feminist are you?" FML
Today, I met some of my boyfriend's family for the first time. His aunt said I was really cute, which made me happy. As we were leaving I said "Your aunt thought I was cute." His reply..."Yeah, well, my aunt's on drugs". FML
Today, I brought my boyfriend over to meet the family. After several long moments of silence, one of my sisters burst out laughing, and asked, "Okay, who is this guy really?" FML
Today, I met my boyfriend's parents for the first time. Turns out his dad is the asshole customer that I complain about all the time. He recognized me too and spent the entire dinner making passive-aggressive remarks about how bad of an employee I am. FML
Today, my boyfriend introduced me to his parents and siblings for the first time. Their first reaction was, "Oh? You're her? All this time we thought you're some cartoon character from yet another lousy anime he keeps babbling about." FML
Today, I was introduced to friends of my boyfriend as, "My other girlfriend." FML
Today, I was invited by my boyfriend's parents for dinner at their house. The dinner went well I thought, until I was getting ready to leave. Before I could make it out the front door, I could hear them discussing their disappointment that their son would ever consider someone like me. FML

As bad as I feel for you, OP, I feel worse for his previous boyfriend. Add to that the fact that the gender icon indicates they're gay, and this gets really interesting. "I assure you, I'm a big fan of your son, but I get the feeling you're not exactly accepting of his sexuality given how you've treated me." "What? 'Course we accept our son! We're not ass-backwards homophobes!" "Whew, for a second, I c—" "We're just disappointed he's datin' a colored!" "…ah."

My mother in law asked my now wife if I was black when she found out we were dating? "Mom, I'm dating a really nice guy." "Is he black?" BTW, I'm literally the whitest man in America.

Gender icon doesn't mean op is gay. I'm a girl and it wouldn't let me change my icon.
