Okay, so here goes my story. My best friend is white, and I think he's very cool. Recently, I had the opportunity to go to his parents' house and they were really nice to me. Anyway, today he was telling me about how he was raised with the belief that people shouldn't mix with other races. He said he didn't believe that himself, but that his parents did and that they disagreed if he dated a black, mexican, or any colored girl. I was astonished by this. I asked him how his parents might've looked at me when I was at their house and he said it doesn't matter for friendships, just mixing. I still think that they might've looked at me wrong since he mentioned that they believed it was OK to mix with Chinese people since they were at the same level with whites. That shows that they believe not only in non-interracial mixing, but also that there are superior and inferior races. My question is: Where you raised this way also? What percentage of people are raised like this? He said MOST whites
