My dad said I can’t marry any ‘BMWs’

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

Don’t mind me asking are you of northern or southern heritage Is the northern ones strict

You can do what you like in your life but it's good to talk to your dad and make it clear. But can Hindus get married to Muslims?

They are wrong for saying you can only get married to a certain colour or race. You are also wrong for assuming all brown people are the same.

hi I’m northern heritage.
my cousins have married white guys and everyone accepted it (they are all northern aswell)

Hi, i‘n not Hindu I’m Sikh but we are not an orthodox family at all
Eg we drink alcohol, eat meat, cut out hair etc.
im the least religious in our family. I’m quite ashamed of that but for some reason, I haven’t ever really had the most interest in our religion

So like from punjab

Is it true a Sikh marry a Sikh or is that for practicing religious Sikhs only

Yep




and I’m fairly sure that If you’re somewhat religion then yes. But as I said above, many of my female cousins married white guys and everyone was fine with it.
I wouldn’t say I’m that religious

Hi, I do apologise.
when my family say ‘brown’, I’m 99% sure they mean Indian. I just said brown as it was easier. Apologies

wait, sorry did you mean about my past with brown people? I might have inferred your statement wrong then

My dad said the same thing

But he was referring to B1tches , Morons and Wnakers

Your dad can chat as much crap as he likes about that but in the end you're going to have to live with your spouse, not your dad. So it's you who has to choose that and if that means marrying a BMW then that's what you should do tbh. Doesn't matter if your dad prefers a ford fiesta or volkswagen polo, you just have to put your foot down and say a BMW is the one for you.
