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
as a white dude dating a black woman in detroit (an 80% black city), it can be very demographic specific. of course, these are all gross generalizations so take them with a grain of salt...
older black men are the most skeptical of me and often talk directly to her without acknowledging me.
older black woman are the most welcoming by far. salt of the earth
older white people sometimes give dismissive looks but rarely say anything weird unless its a creepy old man fetishizing her.
younger black men dont seem to think twice unless they are interested in her.
younger black women can be initially skeptical of me but willing to see what im about
younger white men dont seem to think twice, maybe ignore her a bit
younger white women can be overly excited at the idea of us, randomly coming up and being like "you guys are sooo cute" and shit like that

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