Watching Netflix's "You People" exhumed a mostly forgotten memory of a conversation inflicted on me before I got married, courtesy of a girlfriend of mine. My engagement status is pertinent here because it inspired her to ask me, out of nowhere, if I was sure that I should marry my fiancé.
This person's concern had nothing to do with any of the reasons I said yes to my eventual spouse such as his loyalty, his kindness, his sense of humor, his intellect, and his usefulness – never underappreciate a partner who can wield a hammer! No, it was solely about his whiteness.
