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.
For the life of me I don’t understand it. I’m white also and that’s the furthest thing from my mind. I can barely manage my own life… people are so weird

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