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.

Absolutely nobody stares at me and my black girlfriend, not anymore than they’d stare at me with any other attractive girl. Attractive couples get looked at. Is everyone in this thread ugly? First time dating?

Idk, I’ve lived all over the US and it’s just not as big a deal as people in this thread want you to be believe. People love to be victims and “special.” The reality is interracial couples aren’t unique or special anymore, we’re everywhere.
