The only people who give me trouble are my parents. And I've just told them if they want a relationship with me, they need to accept my choice. *shrugs* I've never dealt with it from outsiders.
I've honestly never had anything slick said to me when dating IR. When I was married, her parents were cool as shit. Her brothers were cool too.
lucky you. I caught the blues from my wife's parents!!! Correction, just her dad. Now, he actually loves me as his actual "son".
What type of prejudice? Verbal abuse, threats against you or your partners well being, not feeling comfortable because of stares/ whispers?
I haven't experienced it in my adult life from anyone I am personally associated with. Nearly all of my friends are in interracial/international/inter-ethnic relationships of both gender combinations. I have seen it from strangers, but I don't pay them any attention.
^^^^i see you live in the Deep South, which is where I used to live back in the '90s (West palm beach). To my surprise, most of my racial incidents that involved slurs thrown at me and my significant other have happened up north (Milwaukee, Buffalo, Minneapolis, Cleveland, Boston).
I know what you mean. The rust belt industrial cities are just as racist as the Deep South, just with union and ethnic types as opposed to rednecks.
... I am from the Uk and grew up in London. We don't have the same race based issues that you have in the US so to be honest nobody ever commented on me dating white chicks. I don't exclusively date white women in any case. Here is a slightly old Uk video. It's probably even higher now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sMqCzgKZ-uE
I don't remember a time when I got more stares than I do with my current guy. We haven't had any slick comments or anything like that (I think people would be intimidated to make that kind of move against a guy of his size), but the constant and lingering stares we get can be a bit unnerving. He and I have spoken about it a few times and while he thinks its comical, I find it annoying. I'm really not sure if its because of our color contrast or just our size difference, but there's something about us together that seems to command the attention of strangers no matter where we are. We were out to dinner Friday night and the table next to us sat a bm/bw. That woman stared me down the entire time we were there lol. She looked me from head to toe, and back up again. After about 20 minutes of feeling her eyes on me I finally gave the look back like "can I fucking help you?!"...then I started smiling and told my guy what was going on. He laughed and the couple left. 99% of the glaring stares we get are from old white people. His response is always to lean in and say "gimme some" and I kiss his gorgeous lips In a city where IR is everywhere, I don't understand the fascination people have with he and I. Heaven help anyone who actually has the balls to comment negatively about our relationship lol. He's a calm, respectful dude, but he's also very protective
Ignore, Ignore, Ingore!!! I laugh it off, love it off and live it off. Sometimes I get a heavy dose of the evil eye from black women but I'm usually too focused on my lady to notice. It's when some black women are blatant, ignorant and say hurtful things indirectly is when it wakes me up.
