It seems like Raj has been rejected by a white woman. Therefore he is channelling his hatred for white men by demoralizing them. Poor Raj. Get over it. You will never be white.

It just sounds like Raj is jealous.

are you a western white woman that you can speak for them?

perhaps the initial attraction does wear off, and perhaps at closer look two individuals are not able/willing to bridge the cultural divide and grow distant from their differences.

perhaps 2 people can truly love each other and be happy as just People.

I don’t subscribe to sweeping generalizations, but surely you can’t paint people with such broad strokes without the realisation that ALL humans, in any grouping, ethnicity, gender, hobby… whatever… they will all have flaws, they will all hurt each other, and no one is a devil or a saint for it. Attributing it to race is only hurtful, short-sighted, and counterproductive.

Most of the Indian women who get into this just have a fetish if white skin, and when it is over they realize what they have got themselves into. The white man is not faithful even to his own white women, which is exemplified with around 60% divorce rate in the west, let alone to be expected to be faithful to an Indian women. The statistics speak for themselves, most of these relationhsips end in bitter divorces or seperation. I do think that love is possible, without any prejeduice, however, I really do have doubts that a white man can be with just one woman all his life. He is bound to stray, and once his own fetish for dark skin fades, he will look for greener pastures in a new territory. Even most western white women agree with this quite well.

The impression I got was that women of this generation were awakening to the possibility that their ideal mate may well not be of the same race. I don’t think it was fetishism or an It thing.

So are they marrying irregardless of race or because of the mixed race phenomena …In South Africa mixed race marriages seem to be acceptable if an Indian girl marries a white man … but all other options are less acceptable … i wonder why?
