interesting note on social behaviour

I'm a jewish almost 21 yr old from the jewish side of Jo'burg South Africa. I met this really cool sexy hot sweet guy about- 3 weeks ago see earlier posts- now being the kinda girl I am ie communicative, I've mentioned him to friends and family some of my friends have met him too. Now I got mixed bag of buddies as do most young people in jo'burg have I think it's a social backlash to an earlier era. White, black, gay, straight jewish christian whatever. Funny thing is soon as I mentioned that the guy was indian a lot of them reacted. My mom "hindu or muslim?" I'm like "I don't know I think Hindu" she "that's okay then but can't you find a nice jewish boy?" This comment coming from my mother who only decided to convert to Judaism when i was 5. What a joke. Another black friend of mine was like"oh it's good that he doesn't smell like curry." Okay right that's deep. It's strange to see how even people who are "liberal" tend to react to sexual relationships between people of different cultural, religious and racial backgrounds in a sort of subtle that shouldn't happen way.
