White girl dating pakistani man

User Reviews

At first, I really enjoyed watching and somethings search for love and marriage in this traditional manner. By the end of the eight-episode series, however, I felt nauseous. Unlike some of my white friends who watched on carefree, I was disturbed by the obvious displays of classism, ethnocentrism, and colourism in the show. The Netflix series glossed over this uglier side of matchmaking, but as a Black American Muslim woman who has previously been rejected by potential suitors based solely on race and ethnicity, I cannot look past it. And when I say dating, I mean dating-to-marry, because as an observant Muslim, I only pursue romantic relationships with one goal in mind: marriage. I encounter the same annoyances found within Western dating culture Muslim women too get ghosted, mosted , and harassed , but due to cultural baggage that is often conflated with Islamic tradition, I am more likely to come head-to-head with sexism, ageism, and racism. The last one of which I suffer from the most. No matter which path I take to seek marriage — matchmakers, apps like Minder, or chaperoned blind dates — I am constantly met with the sickening reality that I am less likely to be chosen as a potential partner b ecause of my background as an Afro-Latina American born to convert parents. Having come from a mixed family, I was never warned that who I sought to love or whoever sought to love me would be premised on something as arbitrary as skin colour, race or ethnicity. I learned this lesson the hard way a few years ago, when a painful relationship taught me to take caution.

The hidden racism of the Muslim marriage market

Australia is a multi-cultural country. It is the land of immigrant, to have inter cultural marriage is very common here especially between Australian — European decent and Australian — Asian descent. My family is Vietnamese and they immigrated to Australia more than 50 years ago. There are many Vietnamese in Australia even some of region has unofficial Vietnamese street where you can find Vietnamese markets, restaurants and people.
