I think this is an Indian thing, as when i searched what it meant it actually came up.
No Blacks, Muslims or Whites.
Now, this is a problem for me and I’m so stupid for not retaliating yesterday when my dad said this.
2 females in our family (my cousins) have both married white people and everyone is happy and fine with it.
The sole reason as to why I don’t want to marry a brown guy is because I don’t want to relive my mom’s whole unfortunate past again and I REALLY think that brown people are too ‘close and friendly’. I see brown boys like Brothers. My dad pretty much will somehow know everyone.
What’s even weirder is that my sister and her boyfriend (who is brown) somehow have a connection through many families and my mom LIKES it when they have connections as it allows her to ‘know the family and trust them’.
When I went to India, I’ve had miserable experiences there as well and I just don’t think Indian guys are my preference.
What’s scarier is that my mom has been persuading me to have an arranged marriage but I’ve stepped on my foot and said no.
I’m such an intelligent, hard working girl. I’ve dedicated so much of my life towards education and I don’t want it all just to be for some random guy that my mom has forced me to be with.
Also my mom and dad had an arranged marriage and they really don’t get along.
I’m still young, I’m 18, but my dad restricting me on who I should marry really frustrated me.
I could EASILY picture myself with someone other than an Indian guy, as I have been with multiple in my past and they loved me for who I was.
And if you say ‘your parents can’t control your life’, well it’s MUCH easier said than done
