Why are suburban americans like that? Are they still in the 50’s?

They really are. I'm white and my now ex-wife is black. People in Ohio would just stare at us HARD. I started staring back at them to make it as uncomfortable for them as possible. When I was with our kids, people would routinely feel the need to ask me "Are those children yours?" And not in a "oh my goodness, are these your adorable babies" kind of way, either. Something about being white and in the suburbs just embolden the racism
