Why is it SOOOOO wrong of him to say that he would be ostracized if he dated a black girl? Many social circles look down upon interracial dating....just as i'm sure some Greeks would too.....I know it is that way in many parts of the South. Looking down upon interracial dating doesn't make you a racist. Many people are brought up with the notion that it isn't proper.......and there is nothing wrong with that.
rac-ism /-rey-siz-uhm/ :
1.) hatred or intolerance of another race or other races.
2.) a belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human races determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one's own race is superior and has the right to rule others.

I guess the thing I can't figure out is why is it wrong or looked down upon just because of the color of someones skin. We're all people. It just doesn't make any sense. Don't get me wrong, I'm guilty of it too. But it still makes no sense. I would be kind of ashamed to bring a white woman around a big family function and call her my woman. Don't ask me why, I just would.
