I once had a date with a chinese immigrant girl of 18. After a couple of hours together, she asked me how old I was. I told her 30 years. She freaked out. She said her parents would nearly kill her if they learned. She was apologetic, but caught a ride home with someone else, and that was that. No discrimination against me for being white, but for being to much older. Oh, yeh.
Now, I've been a stepparent to 7 girls, and one boy. And a natural father to 3 other boys. I can tell you that what an unbiggoted parent wants is their children to find relationships that will make them happy in life. Interracial, interfaith, intercultural relationships will cause stress, and reduce the chances of that happiness. Then again, some parents are bigoted.
