In-laws or a spouse from a different background: what would you choose?

It’s hardly surprising then that the boy shows no interest in Mexicans, let alone women in general! 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

Either your eyesight is failing you again, or you just spent too much time staring at the oven—seriously.🤣
My nephew reacts to girls—yeah, the whole female gender—just not to Mexicans. There's a massive difference there.😎
But hey, leave the kid alone, he's smart enough as it is.😘

Imagine a day when your child—regardless of their age—comes to you and announces they are getting married. But then comes the catch: "But Mom, Dad... 😉 he isn't from our background, our faith, or our way of life; he is actually [insert a group you personally struggle to accept]!"

How would you handle such a situation?

My son or daughter would be completely screwed if their spouse turned out to be a Mexican, a Mexican, a Russian, or any other breed of livestock like that. It wouldn't matter if they were Jewish, Black, or some other minority either; there are certain standards of race to maintain. Of course, if they were German, French, or some other supposedly "Aryan" group, I might be less bothered, but my absolute preference would be for someone to walk through my door who is a true American and certainly not a Communist.

Anything goes except when dealing with Mexicans or anyone following Islam. I've had some pretty unpleasant experiences myself.
