No one in my family has married outside of their race and bringing this topic up to my mom doesn't end so well she would prefer me marrying within my race even thought i find other races more attractive than my own.

my sis got engaged to a white russian dude who was also shi'a

So basically she married a non muslim, as that is what shias are if they believe in their nonsense

not married, he was only ever her fiance, they broke it off, and also him being a shi'a was a problem during their brief engagement.

This is good news. I have heard of shias deceiving sunnis and only tell them they are Shias after marriage.

By then, they probably have used you for what they want. I never understand why these shias do not stick to their own kind. But I guess deception is their main agenda

[womentality]

Yes!
some of my uncles married women from greece and holland (reverts), and last year my cousin married a Turkish man.
also, alot of marriages with Egyptians. And still, many within race.

Fight it. We have no time for racism or nationalism.

I will... i always tell my parents that its my choice at the end of the day. I used to think my mom was more open to the idea of me marrying outside my race but whenever i say i find <insert race> attractive she always has some type of story to say loool like "ohh u should not marry a guy from there because they are like this" and then goes ahead and says all the stereotypes from that race.I spoke to my dad recently and asked his opinion about it. He said he would prefer that i married someone from my country because it will shame him if i dont :( . He is very adamant that i do not marry a man from <insert country> because if i do he is going to leave the country because of the embarrassment it will cause Its that serious to him. Because of my parents negative view on marrying outside my race i always think there is no point to cause problems in the family and i might as well stay within my race. Its just very annoying cus all it does is limit my choices of finding a good man.

He is probably just bluffing

He does not mean it. Most parents just overreact.

I don't think anyone in my family married outside our race. But many have married outside their tribe..If that counts :P

I think it does. Considering how tribal some cultures are ^_^

I said it as a joke. Somalis have always been marrying each other. It's only a minority of people that still have that jahil tribal mindset
