American woman marries auto -rickshaw driver
Bassam Tariq is a Boing Boing guestblogger who is the co-author of 30 Mosques. A blog celebrating the NYC mosques during the Islamic month of Ramadan. He lives in Harlem, NY.
It was just another hot day in Jaipur when Harish , an autorickshaw driver , sees Whitney , a University of Chicago student , in the distance and was awestruck . He asks her out for a cup of tea and she says no . He asks again , and she says no again . But Harish 's persistence pays off , by the fourth time she comes around and they both grab a cup of tea . He shows her around Jaipur and , at the end of the day , he proposes to her . She accepts .
I'll admit , there is a part of me thinking , "typical colonized South Asian men always chasing after white women . I give it two months ." And to that part of my brain I say shut it ,let them bask in their happiness . What do you guys think ?
