Has anyone got family that have issues with a particular ethnicity/culture & you just happen to be seeing someone in those areas?

My Dad has a thing about Indians and the other night he said “I hate Indians”. But the thing is I’m in a relationship with one. Dad always asks me if I “found a guy yet” & I used to say no because it was true. Now I keep saying no to him & I don’t like lying but I am because I don’t know how to tell him & I’m nervous about how he will react. How did you tell your parents?
