[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In the Indian community, based on my experience, parents reaction to their children marrying out is distinctly a function of race: if they marry a white person it is generally accepted even though they might wish the person was another Indian. Marriage to an Asian (non-Indian) is mentioned almost apologetically and marriage to a black or Hispanic is said with some attempt to justify the marriage with comments about where he/she was educated and/or being well employed.[/quote]

Same is true of the Persian community.[/quote]

Funnily, I am an African and my parents would outright disown me if I brought home an Indian or Arab (I know the Iranian will claim not to be Arab, but no one cares). Indians are prostitutes where I come from (thanks to the Brits who brought them over as servants) and pederasty is too common in Middle Eastern cultures for anyone to want to intermarry with them.  A family friend had to give up his Indian girlfriend because his parents wouldn't accept her after six years together and out entire community sided with them. [/quote]

Have spent quite some time in West Africa and, have to say, have never encountered more racist (or tribal if you want) people and practices in my entire life.

AAs here have little idea what racism can truly be.[/quote]

Please do tell us all about Africa as a non-African. While you're at it, tell us too about what AAs know and don't know. You are just so knowledgeable about cultures you clearly don't belong to![/quote]

Economists: someone who knows about money, without being a coin.

What do you do for a living, darling?[/quote]
