Racist Parents Want Best for Ivy League Daughter
After working hard, graduating from an Ivy League school and rising to a successful law career, a girl deserves her own Kevin Federline, right? Not if he's from a "different cultural and socio-economic background," says a concerned parent in last Sunday's "Social Q's," an advice column in the New York Times "Fashion and Style" section.
The parent writes,
My daughter, a much-loved, brilliant, Ivy-educated, well-reared lawyer, surprised my husband and me with her new boyfriend. He’s unemployed, socially inept and from an entirely different cultural and socio-economic background. He has moved into her town house, and to see our daughter we must also spend time with him. Am I duty-bound to be more polite to him than I would be toward any other gigolo?
Columnist Philip Galanes goes through the motions of a response and tells the advice-seeker to wait it out because these type of romances don't work out anyways. Read the response in its entirety after the jump.
