"I once asked my father ‘do you ever get nervous or frustrated at what people might say/do when they realize you married a white woman?’ His response was succinct and lasting for me. He said, ‘Rudy, I don’t much care what people think about who I love. That’s my business and for people who have a problem with it, that’s their issue to work out.’"
