...Mind you, the situation for South Asian women who marry out in Canada is often far more dire still. http://knowledgecommons.lakeheadu.ca...=1&isAllowed=y
"In the American context, scholars see the rise of interracial unions as a positive change in race relations (Qian, 1999; Yancey, 2002). Some analysts interpret it as a decrease in racism, since racial distances and barriers are broken down. It is also seen as indicative of positive change in attitudes, laws and norms (Qian, 1999; Penning & Wu, 2013). Exogamy (or marrying outside one’s ethnic group) is also described as a tool of assimilation (Qian, 1999; Kalbach, 2002; Hamplova & Bourdais, 2010). By contrast, other research indicates 2 a much less positive response to intermarriage for South Asian women. Those who choose interracial life partners often face stigma, exclusion and even violence or death, and in extreme
cases, what has been labeled as ‘honor killing’ (Chesler, 2010; Papp, 2010; Welchman &
Hossain, 2005)." (My emphasis in bold).
Silly 'intersectional theorists' who obsess over White racism - as if it were the only racism that existed in the world, White privilege - as if Whites were universally adored, even to the point where they'd be allegedly seen as more desirable partners than people from one's own ethnic groups - would do well to take heed of this.
