The dad has the right to object to the union. Fact is, most parents envision a pretty uniform "look" to their family, and its not racist to hope that your grandchildren share your eyes or nose or something. There are also societal implications where your interracial relationship, moreover having a child from one, opens you up to every closeted bigot walking.
Suzy who never heard anything negative is suddenly a N-lover, and the breh she gets with sees burning stares when he is out with his girl, coming from grown ass men who very well may be on some "take our country back" bullshyt and make today dudes last day.
The father from what I read didnt say anything racist, he just objects to the union. Obviously I dont object to interracial relationships in the slightest, but i completely understand those who would prefer the family to take a particular path in terms of appearance. Imagine me bouncing some blue-eyed, blonde haired baby on my knee. Sure i can love that kid, but that kid isn't made in my image. We can live in the same household, but the way society would work for us are totally different. Outside forces can drive a wedge into that kind of family, and thats what parents realize. The father is only suspect for abandoning his child, but his POV isnt without merit.
If he said some flagrantly racist shyt I could understand some outrage, but he wasnt saying anything that most parents of all colors havent already thought.
