If your child was dating a boy/girl of a different skin color.
let’s say if the boy is Indian skinned, but more Chinese than Indian as he’s mixed blooded, would you judge him by his skin color?
Or would you bother to find out more before discriminating?
True, SG is multi racial, but that doesn’t mean traditional parents would still react strongly against differently colored people.
Your Opinions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

maybe after this generation of people we wont be racists anymore…..........but i remember one of my teachers in chool said that racism will never end
My parents said that racism will never end too. I guess its due to the kind of people of different color that they've seen in their life or the imbedded racism that was told to them since young.

Racism will never end simply because people will never stop stereotyping. It is through stereotyping that we form our prejudices and racism is the most extreme form of prejudice.
Thus the only question to be asked here is to what methods can we limit such prejudice attitudes and thus promote tolerance.

HOW?Busting stereotypes would be the key, definitely. But for the traditional parents of the respective parties to leave their streotypes at the door, the couple would really create a lasting impression if the different languages of their respective parties are learnt.
For example, consider an indian and chinese pairing. The indian could learn how to speak mandarin whereas the chinese could learn how to speak in tamil. That would definitely eliminate some stereotypes associated with both parties.
