Should i only date women of color because of my daughter?
I had my daughter when I was 16, I'm 22 now. I'm aryan white and her mother is black. I have her weekdays and am working on a case to have full custody soon, but her mother believes I'm unfit to raise a mixed race girl on my own because I'm "ignorant to American childhood customs" (I immigrated from Russia in my preteens) and that I have "no knowledge of black culture or women's culture"
I'm not straight or gay, so it isn't like I'm suppressing my sexuality for my daughter, but I've been trying to not date at all as she grows older. I don't want political correctness that gay couples have every right to have children stuff, I really just want to know what's best for my daughter. Her mother has told me that I should only date black or mixed women so that she has an example of someone with the same cultural background or whatever. She also tells me dating a man should be entirely out of the question.
I'm trying to build a family, I want a role model for my daughter, but I don't see why her role model has to be her same race? She's still 50% Slav in my eyes. I've been talking to a guy for a little over three months, he's met my daughter and they get along great, he's a clean guy, very well put together and has his head in the right place. I'm just not sure if being in a same sex relationship is what's right for her.
Should I only date people of her same race and sex? Should I prioritize that they are her same race and sex? Or should I really just bring a good solid person no matter what they are into her life?
