I was in the same boat as OP, but the girls parents were against brown skinned people. The girl was great and we had plans of marriage but at the end of the day the her parents couldn't get over it after 4+ years of dating.
The sit down and talk with the parents isn't as easy as people on RS say it is because the way white kids are brought up and the way asian/south asian kids are brought up is entirely different.
It doesn't matter if you lived 98% of your life in Canada, if you are 'first generation' you will be brought up the way your asian/south asian parents were brought up.
The time interracial marriage is going to be ok is when our generation has kids and it becomes the norm for a brown girl to marry a white boy. The other way is if our parents spent 98% of their lives in Canada when they had us or the parents are divorced (very western) suggesting they embrace these western values.
OP if you want more insights, use the search function here, you'll actually see this topic being discussed a number of times.

This x100. Summed up my thoughts to a T. It's really easy to talk about speaking to your parents, but doing it is extremely difficult. And absolutely, I think the generation after our will see much more liberalism in these matters.
But damn, dating someone for 4 years and you just have to end it like that... That is exactly what I'm scared of :/
