Exactly.
Kind of crazy what some consider news worthy. Honestly, a black man getting engaged to a white woman shouldn't be "news"...just like a black man getting engaged to a black woman wouldn't be "news". This just perpetuates the belief that we're somehow different because our love is interracial. Shouldn't be that way. I would imagine most people in interracial relationships want to be viewed as no different than same-race couples. I wish more people could simply be happy in seeing a couple in love, not finding happiness solely in the fact that a bm wifed up a ww. I've seen that kind of thinking in threads like this (not saying this particular thread) and it makes interracial relationships look more like a fashion statement. Maybe my way of thinking is off, but the way most of these IR engagements are portrayed on this site irks me.
