Many parents wouldn't agree with one, or either, of these statements. I imagine the fact he believes these has a big part in why he supports you, despite seemingly not supporting people like you. Some parents would turn their kids into the police; others frivolously argue a false alibi story. Some parents would disown their kids for choosing a career or partner or religion they don't agree with; for others, that's a bias-breaking experience. Some parents would die for their kids; others view them as labor or retirement security.
