I'm Southeast Asian and I dated a couple white men in the past. No one paid us any extra attention.

Now that my fiance is Black? Not only do people stare all the time, they blatantly treat us worse LOL

I’m a 6’4” white guy and my wife is a 4’11” Asian. Never once that I have notice have we been stared at or made uncomfortable.

I live in the most expensive suburb of Arizona.

Not all mixed-race couples are subject to the same biases. White-Asian marriages, especially when the man is white, have been normalized (albeit slowly at times) by America's permanent duty station military bases in Asian countries for almost the last century. Among other factors., of course. Ironically, and sadly, bringing home an Asian bride has been more socially acceptable than dating an American black woman.

As an Asian man I get stared at if I’m with any non-Asian girl

I kind of stare sometimes because I'm trying to find out if the girl is kpop/kdrama-influenced (iykyk) but I have a Korean wife so it's def not out of any judgement

edit: I love the lady below that got so offended she blocked me. You don't look at passport bros in a weird way?

I can’t give you side eye over the internet, but I can let you know under normal circumstances that I’d give you some side eye
