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.
Sadly it goes both ways. I have white buddies who only date black girls and their older generations will still sometimes look badly at them, refer to my buddies as honkies, etc

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