But it isn't that simple; color isn't an isolated attribute. It usually goes along with culture, group history, and many other details that make up a person. If, for example, Japanese parents strongly want their kids to marry only Japanese spouses, it's as much or more about a common history, culture, language, spiritual approach, continuation of the extended group, and similar expectations, as it is about color. I think that calling them or those who think like them 'dirty bigots, end of story' is taking too simplistic an approach to a complex issue.
Do I disapprove of cross-cultural marriages or inter-racial marriages? No. I'm in one. But I understand the common desire to see your children continue in their own heritage. I don't think that's a bad thing in itself.
