Certainly you must recognize and respect the age old Jewish tradition where parents are directly involved in the choosing of a spouse for their child as practiced today by some where the parents make almost the entire decision until presenting the candidate to their child for a yea or nea or the more contemporary form where the parent researches the proposal and presents it for a yea or nea for their child to go out on a date. For such traditional and time honored marriage arrangements, is a race based rejection, in your opinion, in the same category as a beauty or height based rejection?
