"My parents are racist," my Filipino boyfriend Edward said, sounding defeated.

My heart made a sudden jolt and then quieted down in my chest. I knew there was something off about this man.

If he loves her, then his parents are irrelevant.

I wonder how his parents justified their prejudices in the context of supposedly humanistic Catholicism? As an African-American woman married to a white man(with some Arabic heritage) I have found a background in Catholicism unifying for many people. Even if it just a common fear of nuns.
