Cultural and Ethnic undercurrents

Now here is something that I may have grossly underestimated
in marital discord.  Because it is politically incorrect to question
the compatibility of differnt cultures, a couple starting married life
may ignore
serious undercurrents, which under stressful conditions reveal
true prejudice.  Cultural differences and backgrounds may affect
not only the couple's unacknowledged racism, but also the
respective resentment by their family and friends which strains
the marriage.

I think that is something that I never paid serious attention to,
but which came out, in a shocking manner when the OW was
described in glowing terms as coming from the "right" ethnic
background and race -- similar to that of his mother's infact.
Interesting.
