Chris Williams and Blair Bathory are head-over-heels in love and would go to any lengths to convince her mother, Kelly Richardson, that they are good for each other. But, set notions and ideas about culture, traditions, and religion take time to go away. 

In this week's episode of 'Bride and Prejudice: Forbidden Love,' expert Calvin Roberson brought the couples and parents all under one roof to iron out the differences, to give everyone a fair chance to openly communicate what may or may not be bothering them. Even though it was a crucial session, what came out of it was shocking revelations and mostly for the parents because they had probably hoped their kids would side with them when the day arrived. 

Right from the word go Kelly had issues with Chris' 'bad boy' image — tattoos and bikes, and also the fact that he is part North Korean. She made it very clear that his ethnicity is a problem and the fact that he is hardly in touch with his mother. She had said that maybe he won't be such a great companion because he is so aloof and distanced from his own mother.

Ethnicity, race, and color are sensitive topics. And to openly express a strong dislike towards people belonging to a certain country or race has only brought Kelly hate. At least, on social media it has. Also, Blair has turned and is no longer buying her mother's words. 

Kelly tried to explain her stance about being racist. She said it was unfair that people were shaming her for it when all she ever asked for was her grandchildren to look like her and Blair and not "yellow or brown." 

This has majorly upset viewers, who thought Kelly was just being "sad and sick" for even making such a comment. 

"Blair”s Mother Is Racist & It’s Disgusting,& It’s Disgusting Fr & For You To Feel A Way About Your Grandchild Is SAD & Just SICK #brideandprejudice," a fan shared, while another wrote: "Honestly Blair Your Mom Is Racist as F**k & If I Was Here,I Wouldn’t F**k With Her At All Or Allow That Racist & Disgusting Behavior Around My Husband Or Our Kids  #brideandprejudice." 

"Wow Kelly's mom don't care about her daughter being happy with someone not her race it's sad when families go through things like that this is real #BrideandPrejudice," a user tweeted. "Kelly needs to relearn what she was taught about people. #BrideAndPrejudice," another shared.
