Let's see, maybe it's not because of racial issues but maybe it's because she doesnt trust you boyfriend. I mean, for people from past generations like your mom, some modern day fashion appearance may be an issue. For example, maybe your boyfriend wears piercings or he has a fancy hairstyle or he has a tatoo, blah blah blah. Those things are really big deal for some people, my grandma would always yell at me for putting hair highlights because she thinks that i look like a person who uses drugs, or those kind of stuff.
