Re: Rejected for being a “punjabi”
No, that’s not what I’ve said at all. I never made this thread about pro- versus anti-Punjabi sentiment or in any way encouraged discrimination or disparagement of Punjabis.
What I’ve said repeatedly, is that the ethnic background of the OP and the prospect could be swapped out with any other combination of ethnicities, but ultimtately the right to choose one’s partner and to have arbitrary preferences (including based on ethnicity) is up to the individual. Neither you nor I can dictate to someone else who they should consider and why they should consider that person or what preferences they may have.
Ultimately, if someone narrows their preferences along arbitrary lines, the harm is to them and no one else, because they’ve closed themselves off to potentially someone who might be better than those filtered through their lens of preferences.
You’ve given prime importance to ethnicity and I’ve said that this is only one arbitrary “preference.” We each have our POV and neither of us is required to agree with the other, but don’t assume that I’ve trivialized or condoned bigotry - I haven’t.
