We have all got a bit of everything in us.
Is there any such thing as a pure bred American - it's very doubtful as you are
probably a mix of UK, European, Mexican, American Indian, African etc.
Brits are a mix of Viking, European and much more.
There is only one race and that's the human race.
Skin colour is dictated by the amount of melanin a person has.
I found the following which explains:
The pigment primarily responsible for everyone’s skin color is melanin.
Ultimately, everyone has the same skin color—we just have varying skin
tones. The two forms of melanin are eumelanin (brown to black) and
pheomelanin (red to yellow). Their proportion determines skin tone.
Just curious about what you were taught as a young person, presumably you were
taught black people should not intermarry with white people as you were taught they
were different races. Is that correct?
But then, would this not apply to all races, so for example people from France should
not marry people from American, people from Russia should not marry people from
Ireland etc.
Its funny how people talk about not marringing into a different race, but really what
they mean is do not marry someone who is a different colour. But yet they will
insist they are not prejudice. The real truth is that they are prejudice but they will
just not admit it because they are suppose to be nice Christians.
Regarding your friend if she was from Sweden would it still matter to your parents?
She would still be of a different race?
Only you can decide under the guidance of God, if you have a future with this person.
Your parents bigotry should not be the deciding factor, you have to live your own life and
be responsible for your own life choices. As you get older and take more control over your
life and live independently, that will make more sense to you. You can't live under the
shadow of your parents all your life, then there will be a time at some point where they
will not be around, or maybe that you will need to be the one making decisions for them
in their old age.
I know of people who have complained that the parents distorted their view of life and
ruined their lives.
You have to live with the individual consequences of your actions. Not just in the now,
but later on as you get older. Whether or not this person is right for you, I don't know.
All I can suggest is pray about it. She may be the worst choice possible, but on the other
hand she may be the best thing that could happen to you. It's not the role of your
parents to decide that for you.
One thing which seems to be the case (and please correct me if I have his wrong),
America seems to be still in the process of recovering from the seperation and prejudice
which dogged it in the last century and I should imagine there will be many people who
have old attitudes.
There is in the UK also, but mainly in the older generation which were brought up just after
the world wars.
Old hardened attitudes are difficult to overcome. That's why the Israelites had to wonder
in the wilderness for 40 years and missed the opportunity to go quickly into the
promised land.

) if you can find one person on this site who is 100% of any race.
