I’m born in America and raised American. My parents were both born in and came here in the 70s-80s from India.
She saw me as some kind of poor creature with no sense of identity desperately trying to act white. I saw her as a girl way out of my league but I had an inside track all the other guys on due to my skin color and heritage (ironically enough) and my general interest in knowledge.
I also would spend some pillow talk time destroying her naive world view. Told her the truth about women in such cultures (stoning, genital mutilation, forced child marriages, acid for school girls etc.) and then told her that the feminists here in this country aren’t really looking out for women. Educated her about the destructive nature of the modern leftist movement in general.
She became a conservative (don’t know if it was just me or also to rebel against her parents who were 60’s hippies) and decided to re-evaluate her life. Then she became a practising Christian and decided to do that born again virgin thing and go to law school. She now works for a NGO fighting the human trafficking of women for sex. We keep in touch and I consider her a good friend but unfortunately we broke up when I refused to follow her into new found religion.
You did well with her and educated her rightly; you had absorbed the fundamental message of America, which is that all human beings are entitled to certain things - life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness - simply because they are human beings. But look at the foundation for your concept of the sanctity of human life (even female human life), and you will find that the Judeo-Christian God, who created man in His image and likeness, is that foundation.
God bless.
