Do people have to let their parents know the ethnicity of a person they are dating?
Is race still a MAJOR ISSUE in The United States of America?

To your first question: Yes.
To your 2nd question: Yes because while it shouldn't be a dealbreaker, your parents have top choices for you (the top choice always being someone like us). That being said, ethnicity shouldn't necessarily be a dealbreaker

I mean a warning would be nice . You don't want them to say or do something that would embarrass your partner. I have a lot of west coast uncle's (most of them) who brought home white women to holiday gatherings. It'd messed up Convo around the table and insensitive things would often be said about their white wives/girlfriends/partners unconsciously by the parents.
It also worked in the opposite direction too. Some of the white people were being too white . Like I mean bringing their dogs to a black dinner table and cuddling with them on our chairs. Stuff like this should've been discussed in advance as a cultural problem.
Similarly, I recall have a family road trip in my teens where we stopped by at an uncle's house to nap. This would've been cool, but black people generally make full, homecooked meals for their guests .so my parents were hoping to get a good meal before hitting the road again. But they didn't know my uncle's fiance was white and would eventually serve them crackers and cheese after a 16hr drive .
of course...odd question.

Despite all the "PAWG in peace" talk, it's generally more stressful and complicated to get into an actual relationship and especially marriage with a White/Non-Black woman.
Hell, I've got a friend who had a kid with a Black Dominican woman and her mom despises him and even got exposed calling their child a slur in Spanish. You can imagine how bad it can get if it involved an actual non-Black Latina(especially one outside the Caribbean.)
And Whites of both genders have Black people rated very low on Online Dating websites. Black women, of course, have it bad on there but even Black men are rated equal to East Asian men and just a tad bit above Indian men.
That's not meant to be discouraging as I think, given how high the White population is in the U.S., you can definitely play the numbers game and stumble upon White/Non-Black families that are accepting and chill about it. But there's still many barriers as a whole especially when it comes to long term relationships and marriages.
