[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So clearly everyone rings their own cultural bias into this question. Wanting to marry someone who shares a common interest with you- like religion or culture or food or language- is not racist. What a weird use of that word. Do you also call a woman sexist if she wants to marry a man only? Same logic. Similar question recently in the college board- interesting honest discussion there. [/quote] I don’t think you quite get it. The family demands have little to do either with “interest”—it’s literally about not wanting your kid to marry someone whose skin is darker, whose mom is not Jewish, etc etc. These bigoted parents prefer a particular ethnicity over a shared intellectual interest or common cultural passion.[/quote]
