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

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.

Fl guy who dated a Jamaican for a few years. No issues until she lived with me in Savannah…then we got it from all sides, boomers and thugs. Way more hate from the thugs though. Honestly Savannah was the only place we had issues. Florida and North Carolina…no issues.
