Would you be ok with your sister or daughter marrying a black or white Sikh?

[Torontobboi]

Would anyone here have objections

Sikhs do not have anything against inter-racial marriages.
It is the inter-faith marriages that never align with our dharam

First, a lot of people might be skeptical of an "instant" Sikh. But if that's not an issue,

Second, the fact that marrying a Sikh of a different race is allowed does not mean that you can date.

Dating is not allowed in Sikhism.

So the answer to your question is "No", a Sikh would not be OK with his daughter marrying a white, black, Khatri, Jatt, Ravidasia, Tamil, or whatever Sikh.

Rather the question is whether you would marry him to one of those.

Please elaborate, your "NO" is not clear. :)

no would not be ok with it and yes there would be objections....

and before the liberal extremists start getting all angry, 'throwing their toys out the pram' crying and screaming 'racist, racist, racist....', my advise to u is try to learn to try to stop thinking like whitey all the time, mentally toughen a bit and then actually contemplate on the potential consequences to diluting identity and culture and, believe it or not, faith...

now like it or not, almost all sikhs come from the same panjabi background - and that familiarity will always carry some favour in looking out for each other, helping in times of need etc. thats an obvious advantage in todays selfish world where every other community does just that..so why cant sikhs? are we supposed to reduce our already dwindling number just to support the western perception of sikhs being 'flower-power', 'powder-puff' softies? we're already struggling enough as it is...yes there are exceptions in the name of 'community' but it still exists in small parts - being non-existent in one area doesnt mean it no longer exists anymore....

secondly, logic suggests there would be a 50% likelihood in not passing panjabi language on to children - and language is critical, as we've already learnt in the diaspora where most who cant speak it and cant be bothered to learn actually become more westernised, taking themselves further away from sikhi....so the best way to describe the importance of panjabi language, in my mind, is like comparing it to the strength of those long, pale, stalky roots that keep plants/tree stumps firmly 'connected' in soil...if anyones ever tried to dig up one of those stumps, u'll know how tough they are....so basically without those firmly-entrenched roots, that plant/tree is as good as dead and easily influenced i.e. 'moved' by whoever handles it - panjabi girls are not as mentally tough as the older generations anymore and are way more likely to be influenced by forgetting the importance of teaching their mother tongue - and thats already happened in some 'inter-faith' cases too...

other losses include certain family values, eastern values that connect us to sikhi and gurmat thinking - so where's the logic in adding western values that are mostly gonna take u away from sikhi? can someone answer that? thinking, judgement, decisions, experiences and influences...these all have a huge impact on the psyche and rationale behind how we think, talk and behave etc... so thats something else to think about....

and that brings a gd point mentioned above...

as we already know, most girls today will date and get up to no gd, all sorts of kanjarpuna etc. so whos to say she aint already fooling around with whitey/blacky before deciding to take it further with marriage? she could have got herself pregnant then aborted - and then maybe feel guilty and obliged to marry...or maybe her idea of 'love' is just sexual 'lust'...or maybe she's just a rebellious liberal whos persuaded the outsider to become a 'sikh' for the wrong reasons e.g. money, social status...

same also applies to apne bande who are any of the above - weak, liberal and selfish etc...

Yes , whenever a white or black person (or any one non-punjabi) becomes sikh, they usually do so after years of careful study of Sikhi principles and scriptures, and sometimes history . They're far more better in sikhi than punjabi sikhs

Problem is, some change religons as a phase, and if they become disillusioned for whatever reason, they will walk away from Sikhi asap.

I know a 'Sikh' man from the united states. His two daughters married whites. 

One to an Italian guy that is covered in tattoos all over his body and another white dude. 

The father is really over the moon about his kids choices and he has supported them all the way. 

When he was asked if he was okay with this and if there any issues. 

He said no. 

'Im living the all american dream'

He is a jat btw.

Nothing wrong with that, If that's what they chose to marry, If they are not religious then why would they marry a sikh? 

And if he's happy and his daughters are happy then he clearly is living the American dream lol

Lol what's him being jatt got to do with any of this? You seem to have a fetish for jatt men lol   it's becoming a recurring theme in your comments.

Well is it not the parents fault for not teaching Sikhi to their kids and hence they are not religious? 

Your saying its okay to follow the All american dream and marry children to non Sikhs? Is that how you will let your kids marry non sikhs?
