Omiai?
Hope her offspring don't get discriminated against and get called halfu.

right you are. We really do have to protect all species from poaching and the best way to do so is to incentivize countries through economic pressure.

Calling her white is offensive. Looks tan to me.

The tan colour comes from her mud-pack. She's actually kinda greyish.
The name white rhinoceros comes (apparently) from the Dutch word wijd, meaning 'wide' (describing the animal's mouth), which English-speaking settlers in South Africa back in them days misheard as white.
Subsequently the other kind of rhino, with a pointy mouth, was named the black rhino, though that too is kinda greyish and not black.
In a perfect world yes, but left in their native habitat they are easy prey for the poachers. That's why the populations are so low. We need to stop people thinking bits of keratin can improve their sex life or cure their cancer.

Miai (見合い, "matchmaking", literally "look meet"), or omiai (お見合い) as it is properly known in Japan with its honorific 'o' in place, is a Japanese traditional custom which relates closely to western matchmaking, in which a woman and a man are introduced to each other to consider the possibility of marriage.

Of course! What was I thinking?? Silly me!
