Latinos en la casa!!! Chicos, sí,hay chicas bonitas en Kenia (There are beautiful girls in Kenya) and we are grateful to God for that.
Wow!I dont think I have every read a long thread to the end,the way I did this one. Mixed feelings.
This is what I can say, as a Kenyan. Most of what has been said is true and I have a few observations
Inter-racial relationships are difficult, but they work. I even have a couple friends, American husband and Kenyan wife, Norwegian husband and Kenyan wife, Kenyan husband and American wife, Kenyan husband and British wife. For most of these couples, I knew then before they got married. The major issue had been the general Kenyan expectation of the foreigner to have more money and better standing in society, which in most cases has been true becuase most expatriates are paid up to 10 times what a Kenyan is paid for the same job. Some of these couples, however, are 'normal' Kenyans, in terms of their earnings so the money is not the main factor.
That not withstanding, the people in these relationships were out for a true relationship,not money. One has shared a story where she has had to defend her husband besause all the in-laws were looking up to him to 'rescue' them financially. So,if this girl truly loves you, she will not join the rest of the people in draining money out of you.
What we tend to forget is that this local girl/guy has their fears and concerns as well. Not all inter-racial marriages/relationships have encouragin stories so they take a risk. Some people tend to be shunned when they date a foreigner or treated differently, not in a nice way, which is something that locals in these relationships have to deal with, at a personal level. When all is said and done, the two people in the relationship make the ultimate decision.
