well, for one, i think he said because something to do with white people. the same reason he likes europe. europe is primarily white people, he says, and segregation was still a thing in the 50s.
I hate to be the one to tell you this, but your dad is a racist.
I would say it's a shining example of my theory. He wants to go back to when he was ignorant of the struggles of other people. They did exist, he just didn't know and now he does.
Hah, that's telling. Just FYI, there's been generations upon generations of racism and ethnic hatred here in Eastern Europe. I guess we have the advanced racists: the ones who don't hate you for your skin colour, but who your parents were, religion and primary language.
I'll bet that if your dad grew up here in Romania, he'd be complaining about those sneaky Szeklers trying to steal Transylvania and Roma people being subhuman.
Also, he seems the type to pine for Europe because "We're all Christian!". Trust me, you haven't seen "Christian love" like state religions persecuting people of the wrong sect. Orthodox Christianity is the state religion here, and Protestants of all stripes get treated like heathens.
Ah, but discrimination against Roma isn't racism because they actually are all dirty thieves!
Why I never ever ever mention my Roma ancestry to any European, ever
