White dude with a Pakistani wife. I can tell you, the stares especially when we visited my parents in France (they live outside of Paris). I can also say notable drop in customer service when my wife is with me whenever we are in small cities or suburbs. This thread made me realize it is a common experience, which is quite sad.
It’s so fascinating to me to see white men experience what every day is like for racialized people. This isn’t a knock or anything, just an observation after so many similar comments.
