What do you think of interracial couples?

hate to pull the incredibly obvious "just so you know" card, but Canadian isn't a race or ethnicity; it's a nationality. we've got a little bit of every race/ethnic background here, so it's not like saying you're Canadian is going to help the other person have any idea what background you hail from.


as for my opinion, I don't see what the big deal is. it's two people in love, you see it all the time everywhere you go, only this time the skin colour isn't exactly the same. though even if you are perfectly okay with it, I suppose it can still catch you offguard in that you notice just because it's not something you see all the time. I don't mean in any way that interracial couples are unnatural, it's just not something we're all used to seeing yet since not even a century ago this kind of thing was shunned by most everyone for whatever silly reason they had back then.

the town I live in, for instance, is predominately white folks, so it's not common to see interracial couples (my old neighbours were though and they had the most adorable children), whereas cities like Toronto that have a higher concentration of multicultural backgrounds would be more likely for you to come across an interracial couple. infact having more exposure to it, you probably wouldn't even look at it as interracial anymore, they'd just be a couple of people.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
