<human>: I am very open minded and am willing to date anyone I'm attracted to whether they're white, brown or purple. Recently I dated a middle eastern man, I was really into him. When we first met I was a little worried that he was Muslim and thought that would be our biggest hurdle (although I don't know much about Muslims I wouldn't be completely opposed to it, like I said I am open minded), but found out he was Catholic and I am Christian so I thought it could really work between us. Then, I found out after a few dates that he was not allowed to date me because I am not of the same ethnic background. He wouldn't introduce me to his friends or family because I am Caucasian and this is not allowed for him. I guess this is common so in one aspect, I understand. But in another I'm a little angry and feel like it's a little racist (maybe that word is a little harsh). I just can't imagine moving to another country and then only being able to date someone from America (although I've never had to go through that so maybe I'm being insensitive) Anyway, have any of you been through this? Whether you're the one in my shoes or the one only allowed to date people from your culture, please shed some light.

Can you give me the gist of the text in a nutshell?
<bot>: Dated a middle eastern guy who is not allowed to date a white woman. Pisses me off a little. What do you think?
