Friends of the family call relationship with a Muslim woman an abomination [View all]

[Daxter]

These friends (now former) told my parents that what I am doing is wrong and an abomination. They have said horrible things about Muslims (as well as black people) every horrible racial slur and stereotype you can think of about Muslims they used. The fact that they focus so much on her race and religion instead of her character is disgustingly ignorant and closed minded. Their racism blinds them from seeing how beautiful she is and how happy she makes me. I always knew there were racist people in our society but I never realized that I used to call some of them friends.

I am happy that a forum exists on DU to have conversations about mixed race relationships and the challenges that we face.
