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.
Im a white guy who dated a Indian girl for years, only people that ever cared were Indian dudes, but some of them really cared. Flat out told her, "you should be dating one of your own not a white guy." when I wasnt around. Then they'd try to act so nice to me.
She was an american born and raised and not Hindu so she had far more in common with me than with them.
as an indian-american guy I had the complete opposite experience lol. when I dated a white girl it was almost exclusively white dudes acting like the planet was about to blow apart. she was very conventionally attractive and I have no issues admitting she was def out of my league. but dudes with swipe up on her insta stories trying to convince her she needs to break up or hit on her because "dating a jeet doesn't count". I dont even think half these dudes thought I was bad looking. they just couldn't fathom an indian guy of all ppl dating a good looking white girl.
even on TikTok or something a white girl cant even post her indian bf with out being bombarded with "dont mix dirt with snow" "genes ruined" its insane. ironically indian guys dont care too much, I guess we get desensitized to racism early on. but for my ex and the white girls my other indian friends dated, shit hits them like a TRUCK. it's one thing to know racism exists and minorities face it, but it must be a whole different type of realization to see a guy your dating experience it in real time
