[quote=Anonymous]Let's take the case of my sister in law: she dated a man from her own culture and background. He is arrogant, controlling, and disloyal. Unlike my husband and BIL and FIL and every other member of the family who obviously shared the jerk's background.

Then she dated a black man from a bad part of a bad city. He has a drug-dealing brother and a sister who had three children by three different fathers by the time she was 20. This man had worked hard all through school, had gone to a good college on a full academic scholarship, and met my SIL in their grad program. He is soft-spoken and gentle and endlessly patient and giving.

Guess which one she picked? She picked the nice guy. And no one in our family would have had it otherwise. And so I can comfortably say that my daughters can date whatever kind and generous and hard-working man (or woman-- that's another thing that doesn't faze me) they want. We will judge their partners on their personalities and accomplishments and behavior. A rich white guy doesn't get ANY kind of automatic pass from me, just because we might have some superficial similarities.  [/quote]
