Would you allow interracial dating?
Do parents today mind if their teens date outside their race?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
There was a story in the paper last week about a man who is charged with masterminding the contract killing of his daughter-in-law. The twist to this story is the alleged hit appears to be racially motivated – the father-in-law is from India and the daughter-in-law was African-American. (Here’s the full story.)
So it just got me thinking: Do today’s parents accept interracial dating? Is it a big deal to bring home somebody not of your race?
If you don’t approve of persons from certain races, how are you letting your teens or kids know this? Is it through subtle messages or are they outright forbidden?
People, I know this is a touchy issue, but please try to keep it clean.
