[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because we are anonymous here, I will admit that I would not want my DDs marrying anyone who grew up in a culture where abuse of women and children is common--that certainly includes someone who grew up poor and white (we are white). That stuff is VERY hard to move past. Yes, I realize abuse happens in all parts of society--but it is much more prevalent in certain cultures than others. I would not want them marrying a man who was around it as a child--it's way too engrained. [/quote]

It’s fine to not want your child to marry someone who grew up in a family with abuse, but abuse is not a part of any “culture” and you are racist if you believe that certain races or ethnicities have a culture than suppers abuse.

—POC married into wealthy white family where ILs tell stories that sound like abuse to me[/quote]

I attended a very well-known Maryland all girls prep school. Every year, juniors and seniors attended an assembly on domestic abuse because it was so common in that wealthy and mostly white community. Then, we’d have a half-day because so many girls were distraught realizing what they were witnessing happening to their moms was abuse. [/quote]
