Although she professes to like him, she wonders why almost all his previous girlfriends were white, why all his friends are white and so on. I told her I could not care less what race the people he surrounds himself with are, that I found the whole topic rather offensive, and I told her not to mention it again. She plans to ask him these questions herself since I won't do the digging for her. I'm worried that if she does, it will really offend him and cause some major problems. She says these are legitimate concerns about the man her daughter is dating and fully intends to go through with this.
White kid grows up in a black neighborhood.
He goes to the local public schools, at which his is one of the few white faces. Granted, there's a seed of suspicion when one's companionship follows a trend. When every girlfriend is blond, when her friends are all rich, when his buds can't be smarter than he is. It's also, for lack of a better word, funny. Your mom is about to tell a great, intelligent, caring, highly educated and successful man that she's a scared, shut-minded fool.
