Family friend of ours brought his white fiance home to show the family..... he had to sleep at a hotel cuz his mom didn't let him in the house

Gotta love Africans

I always make jokes/threats with to mom saying that if she doesn't get off my case I'll marry a white girl

Most Nigerians I know don't support interracial marraiges, but will accept the couple (and their union) as long as they still participate in the community and the non-Nigerian/Igbo/Yoruba/etc is a good person. Everybody will stare at first (most def) but after a while they stop caring and get used to it. But the key part is that the 'foreigner' has to interact with the community;if he/she doesn't they'll only acknowledge the Nigerian and his/her kids and ignore the spouse.

It is not rare that men of immigrant/minority groups view women as subjects that one conquers. Some minority "supremacists" have and have had white/of majority women during history. It is only "the men" that one is against.

Having a "higher caste" ("white" in the US, lighter skinned in India and Latin America, majority in a European country) woman is sometimes giving you a form of status. Look at the actress Amanda Bynes who was with a black rapper in the end of last year and the beginning of this year. That rapper actually wrote a song about being with her and how she "was into dark meat". Now, some actually speculates that this is the reason why she will retire from acting.

It is, to these men, okay for a man to have a "higher caste" woman. But the other way around is not. Then it is "intruding on the lower caste group's rights". Also, keep in mind that far from all minority men reasons like this, and that even some "white" men in the New World can reason like this. I've never said anything else.

Ummm.... don't know about all this higher caste stuff. But the main reason why its okay for men to marry outside over the women is because the family name is passed thru the father. For example I can marry a white/asian/etc and my offspring will still be 100% Igbo; a female does it and the kids take on their father's name (not seen as fully Igbo).
