However, the person will eventually have to answer to The One Above regarding whether they’re excluding people of other races on the basis of physical attraction or racism.

Is excluding short people or redheads due to being anti-shorty or anti-redheads as much an infraction that’ll need to be answered to The One Above as being racist? If someone is racist, wouldn’t they by definition be unattracted to people of that given race anyways?

Parents (or anyone else, on the other hand) should have absolutely *zero* say regarding physical characteristics that their children can and should date.

Are you as opposed to mothers who look at a shidduch picture and reject the candidate because she’s too short or “not beautiful” as you’re opposed to mothers who look at a shidduch picture and reject the candidate because she’s of a given race?
