this time on; White Westerner ruins their own relationship by not listening to their partner who is from the place in question, and has a far more intimate understanding of the situation and refuses to accept direct sources because of their own political bias.

seems to me the whitey did the liberal thing, wherein they marry someone from a culture they deem lesser so they can "rescue" them from it. Bro went to FU and Yale, if anyone would understand direct sources and intellectual honesty, it's them.
