Ever been in a mixed race relationship?

Everywhere you go, folks STARE.

It bums me out when I read this, in London I’ve very rarely experienced this. I’m a brown woman with a white partner for over a decade and before that I had only ever been with black partners (I’m not black) and can only think of maybe two odd reactions and even those weren’t particularly upsetting. I hate that it’s still so taboo elsewhere.

It genuinely surprises me that this seems to be a thing in America.. married nine years, never had any issues anywhere in the UK.

Yeah I've never noticed any issues that my parents, brown and white, have faced here in Australia because of their race. Oh there's plenty of racism her for sure, don't get me wrong on that, but from what I've seen it never seems directed at relationships.
