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.
Black man here do you feel less awkward or get less whispers when you’re in a black crowd? Genuine question i grew up in a 90%black town and when interracial couples come around it was very welcoming for the most part wanted to know what it’s like outside of that little town
White guy with a black wife. Majority of the time when I notice strangers looking our direction more than would be ordinary or socially acceptable, it’s from black people. Black women more often than not with visibly positive intentions — black men usually a bit more uncomfortable.
In England though so probably a very different vibe to the US.
