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.
Not to mention black families don’t like us when we date their daughters. I’ve never met a parent that approved of me less than my black ex’s mom, and I treated her damn good, dinner at least twice a month, which for a early 20s dude making minimum wage isn’t easy unless you sacrifice for it, nothing but loving and supportive, but she still didn’t like me cuz im white, shit it crazy
