Preferences Based on Ethnic Origin
Question
Why is it acceptable for Blacks, Indians, Asians, Latinos, Indians, etc. to live and marry within communities of their own and say openly that that’s what they want, but if a white person in America says that, he’ll be considered a white supremacist, KKK, Hitler supporter, and so on?
Is it only because white Americans are the majority?
Or is it because woke culture has drilled into our heads that white = colonialism and oppression, and that minority is necessarily a good thing?
Maybe there are other reasons I haven’t thought of, or other differences.
Answer
You need to ask the people who believe that. What you wrote sounds reasonable to me.
There is a desire to preserve the tradition and culture of the family’s country of origin, though young Americans criticize even that. The criticism of marrying outside the community usually comes from the older parents, while the younger person—who is no longer really Indian at all, but fully American in every respect—usually resents his parents’ criticism.
The comparison is not correct. A white American of Italian background who wants to marry only an Italian woman would not get the same criticism. The white American who gets called racist is a generic modern American, who doesn’t care whether he marries an Italian or a Polish woman or, heaven forbid, a Ukrainian—just not a Black woman.
