"Why would foreign women/men want to get involved with partners in a society that condone that kind of action."
The long answer : So you are basically asking why my hubby married me :-)? I have been asked repeatedly, knowing the level of racism in America, why would I marry a white person?. Yes, there were concerns for us marrying outside of our race and culture, but ultimately you are drawn to a person. Someone that makes you laugh, cry, feel, and love.
Being raised in both cultures I have asked, how much of yourself do you have to give in to live in a culture so different from yours? I could not return to Jamaica to live or even an extended stay. The age of consent in Jamaica is 16, making it legal for a grown man to prey upon a child. However If I had met the right Jamaican guy who met my top 5 criteria, my butt might be on the plane with a Red Stripe beer before you can say Iree Mon. In that moment it's about the person, not the culture or the race.
Short answer- great "ACTION"
