Letters to the Editor

This letter is associated with the following article:
From dating an Asian man to living with him: Parents still don't know I'm a white woman in my 40s. His parents don't approve of me. Am I just insecure?
  • cultures and love

    A friend (actually, current gf, to be explicit) had this with a guy she dated -- Indian, not Asian, but similar reasons for secrecy (in his case, not ageism and racism, just racism.) More commonly, I'd imagine, it's the black person joining a white family.

    I disagree that you should give him a pass (or even a temporary pass) because he's "going along with his culture." Respect of this basic a form is transcultural, it's not like which fork you eat the fish with.
