Interracial marriages and culture

Re: Interracial marriages and culture

Our culture tends to be a bit insular in this regard and leans towards marrying within our own culture. However, people do marry outside of our culture, most often guys though, and people usually accept it. How accepting out not people are depends on what the culture/background of the other person is.

Out of curiosity, I asked my husband what his observation has been regarding the issue of interracial marriage in our culture and he mentioned that he’s also observed the above for the most part but quite emphasised the part in bold.

In his observation, most parents prefer that their children marry within our culture, but eventually accept it if they marry into other cultures, assuming that they like the person. Apparently, he’s observed that certain cultures are more frowned upon than others and I (loosely) quote “I think people eventually get over it and accept most ethnicities, with a few exceptions. Good luck to you if the person is something like Russian or Pakistani though.”
