  1. I could never marry a Persian guy for many reasons (!), but I think above all, I’d be too worried his political views and that of his parents would not mesh with my parents. I probably couldn’t marry a white guy either because the whole family comes first thing just doesn’t work with most white people I’ve met.

    I really think the Tamil/Persian mix is probably the best combination ever! More people should try it. ;)

  2. You told me not to ever date a persian girl. We need clearer cut rules for the tamil/persian mix..

    Also, according to Mahi we’re banned from marrying Tamils as it interferes with the genetic diversification program he’s masterminded

  3. I think one of the flaws with her argument is the assumption that people who are brown are going to have the same values as you, by default. My guess is in a particular community there is going to be a lot of variation in what people consider important and not important. It’s funny she considers her Punjabi / Hindu coupling a same community relationship, when a lot of people would find that gulf too big to cross. Focusing on race this way seems simplistic to me.

    Anna mentions how other brown people are going to come with preloaded brown software, but I can definitely introduce her to brown dudes who are going to break that theory.

  4. Also, Ahilan you should totally data a Persian girl just so Shima would have to fight with her for moms affection. Can you imagine how catty that would be?

  5. Although I love the idea of setting up a lifelong Persian girl cat fight in your family, I am sticking to the Cousin Genetic Diversification Protocol. For the love of god man, do you realize how closely related our ancestors were?

  6. Lets not go down that avenue before any women we’re ever interested in read this and find out

    Ram it would be a pretty awesome cat fight, but unless my girl ends up being a Ninja, I imagine Shima would actually kill her. Whenever I talk to mum now she’s always asking about if I’m seeing anyone, have I met anyone, have I bought anyone. It’s getting out of hand, you have to stop it.

Don't be shy, you can comment too!

 
Some things to keep in mind: You can style comments using Textile. In particular, *text* will get turned into text and _text_ will get turned into text. You can post a link using the command "linktext":link, so something like "google":http://www.google.com will get turned in to google. I may erase off-topic comments, or edit poorly formatted comments; I do this very rarely.
