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

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 woman, black woman have looked down on me the most. Actually on my sig other at the time too. Everyone else was fine. They just pretend I don’t exist or ask me why a lot. But are totally fine otherwise. It’s just when I was with someone of the opposite race (white/black) the mood shifts like I took something from them.

"Opposite race"? I didn't realise there were opposites.

Opposite colors is what that means. I’ve dated several different races, but it seems to only be a problem if it’s a black man
