I would be quite horrified if my baby ever dated a Gentile. I don't know if it could be outright forbidden however.

Genuinely curious: why do you think you would feel discomfort in that situation?

Not a discomfort, the partner could be a lovely person, but a lineage of nepali culture, of blood of nepali ethnicity would be, to some extent be destroyed. Every generation, forthcoming would be less entrenched and more departed from nepali culture, where I was born, where my blood and heart lays. The nepali language, would not be spoken, and there would be no essence of my grand children being being purely "nepali", culture, blood, ancestry etc.

That raises a difficult question of: at what point does desire to preserve culture and traditions become a form of racism? I am not accusing you of being racist, but it is a gray area.

DavidB,

I am curious of your opinion on this as well.

Preserving culture isn't racism. Willfully destroying culture is.
