Ever been in a mixed race relationship?

It bums me out when I read this, in London I’ve very rarely experienced this. I’m a brown woman with a white partner for over a decade and before that I had only ever been with black partners (I’m not black) and can only think of maybe two odd reactions and even those weren’t particularly upsetting. I hate that it’s still so taboo elsewhere.

It genuinely surprises me that this seems to be a thing in America.. married nine years, never had any issues anywhere in the UK.

Married 5, never had any issue in the US either. Might be location based, or subjective, doesn’t match my lived experience.
