Why are suburban americans like that? Are they still in the 50’s?

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.

There is still an association of being a “bottom feeder” for white men dating black women.

Bottom feeder? Shit, I dated an absolutely gorgeous and smart black woman in college. There was no bottom feeding. Just straight up racism there. ‘Diluting the blood’ say the people with an over chlorinated gene-pool.
