In some cultures, great care is taken to avoid bringing shame to one's family. Like it or not, the things we do and the choices we make, even in the anonymity of modern society, can have far-reaching effects on how we and our families are perceived....

I heard that! Especially if you live in a small town, things get around fast.

I think marrying outside my race would make my family disown me, I would do it so they quit talking to me. ha ha
