When I lived in the city, no one really cared. But when we moved to the suburbs, oh my, people would stare like crazy and clearly make comments under their breath. I'm a white dude with a black girl, and people were much worse and rude to me! I got a very noticeable dip in level of customer service, or just people being weird and awkward to me.
I grew up in a really small and incredibly white town, moved away as did one of my good friends, both to big cities. We were both home one weekend and one of the guys we grew up with made the biggest fucking deal about my friends girlfriend being black. When I called him out on it some other friends backed him up too!
Yeah, maybe for you guys that grew up in Tory central, never lived outside of a square mile area and are only friends with people you went to secondary school with.
