What should I do? We were in love but her parents.

Actually in this case I think it does, because if she were truly some kind of closeted racist (as some have asserted) she wouldn't have allowed him to take it.

I meant that it doesn't necessarily imply that he is "extremely important" to her or something (although it might still be the case of course). Maybe she isn't racist herself, maybe she just blindly accepts what her mother puts in her mind and ends up saying things like "you're a great guy which is really strange considering where you came from".
