@ the dude who stuck up for the black guy though when the dad was berating him. Don't paint all white people as not accepting of black people; the video shows it's 50-50 in a white @#$ town in the middle of nowhere, so there's hope for people in a bigger city.
It's not always "racism" to want your kids to marry within your race though. Like others have said, sometimes old school people just want to preserve their cultures and feel like if their kids marry someone else, their family history will be lost forever.
For example my mom's family love my dad now, but when my parents got married, they were kinda iffy about it. Not to the point where they were shedding tears like the racist @#$@$@ in the Utah video, but they were afraid that the future generations wouldn't know their language and respect their ancestry. And sometimes I can't blame the way they think. My mom's cousin married a white woman and lives in Memphis; his kids grew up resenting his side of the family, calling them n_____s and @#$% :x
My mom and dad both put in the effort to learn each others' cultures and languages though, and they taught me and my siblings everything from both sides, so it's all good these days.
