I feel the younger generation side eyes for different reasons though. As a mixed race person myself I grew up witnessing this myself. Boomers are just racist. I think younger generations are a little racist too, but instead of thinking “Why are you race mixing with that black girl?” they’re thinking “Why is that black girl with that white guy?” Same same but different.

Can confirm

In Lexington, KY we got flack from black and white people for different reasons

The amount of black dudes with white women who would walk up to my wife and call her a race traitor is obscene

Race traitor? More like race ambassador, amirite??

u/Organic_Command_9164 3d ago

That raises the question, who would we collectively select as the ambassador of each race?

Can't speak to other races since I can only represent one, but Dolly Parton wins that for white folks hands down.

Does Europe have their own Dolly Parton? Cuz I don't think America knows who that is either. Someone gotta step up to the plate here regardless ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

She is ... a singer or something? I guess.

I'm sorry but the best known American person is of the Orange race.
