[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.

You don’t know very many people or don’t read much if you don’t think abuse is a cultural phenomenon. Often it’s a class issue, but also it certainly is more present in certain countries, religions, races and ethnicities. Poverty and religion are two MAJOR factors—those align with races/ethnicities, so I’m not saying that the race is the cause, but there is a correlation.
