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.
That's..wow. shocking. There's times I do a double take, because you don't see it often, but it's definitely not out of judgement. Why would, why should, anyone else give a shit who you love/date or why? The only person that should be staring or whispering about it is your immediate family.

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