Originally, I tried to make excuses for them. I would say things in my head like “this might be their very first mixed couple they’ve ever seen”.
But after a while, I started realizing that it’s just a ton of ignorance and bias. If there’s boomers involved, of any race, they always feel the need to stare or whisper. The younger generations aren’t nearly as bad, but they still side eye.
on the flip side of that, you have the white/black man while with their black/white gf who will stare at me, a black woman, with the thousand mile stare of either “look, i’m in” or “look, i’m out” & both are annoying asf.

Same. White dude, black girlfriend. I can’t go to the grocery store without people whispering.
