Actually, while I'm up on my high horse, saying thst "it's typical of white men" is also a racist stereotype. Congratulations for managing to implicitly insult just about everyone.
I think you're just confused as to what racism in reality is, not in a literary sense my friend. Racism implies that the racist's race is superior to the others' race. You're mixing up a sense of superiority with a sense of understanding. So, if I was to say only Muslims marry inside their religion because their families don't approve of others outside the faith that now makes it implicitly prejudice and xenophobic, right? Wrong, because you don't know whether someone is really racist or prejudice (unless you can read minds); you don't seem to grasp the idea that not all people that don't want interracial or inter-religious relationships are racist/prejudice. They just probably want something familiar to them that can easily adapt and assimilate to and understand the world their way. There is no allegorical meaning trying to be implied, people today always interpret situations like this as racist, but it is not; however, I don't encourage it (as you can see from the ending of my last comment). I wish people cared more about understanding their similarities more than their differences, but that is not the way the world works currently. Conflict always comes before understanding.
IIN I think white guys aren't too eager to date a colored girl?
