What do you think of interracial couples?

Hey everyone, interesting thread here! I have a pretty unique situation, which receives pretty unique attention. BF/AM engaged couple and we get the most obnoxious and rude attention from....WHITE PEOPLE?!?!?! I really don't understand this and would love to! Black and Asian people do not act out like White people do and it's quite annoying!

Looking for a white suit for my fiance for our wedding we were out in the mall and I mean some of the White gay sales people were being rude to us, trying to ignore us, and didn't even want to help us. Then some White sales girl would come and help and would find out the suit is for our wedding and then comes all of the uncomfortability and unbelievable staring...lmao.

I really don't understand this... I'm not with a White man... he's not with a White female?? WTF?? Just don't get it... maybe it's because my Asian fiance is 6'4" and I'm 5'9" or maybe it's because we've been accused of being a striking couple by people we know. Asian and Black people have been the damn sweetest. Can anyone give me a break down on how our relationship "bothers" White people so much?? I hope I didn't offend anyone by my post either, but I'd like to try and get a better understanding of this strange reaction!

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I'm glad you did! lol... it's rare, but we do exist

There's nowhere I can't reach.

There's also the fact that, I bet, most white people you come in contact with aren't rude, but most of the people who are rude to you are white, and so the pattern arises that white people are being dicks where no one else is.

You're right they are some of the nicest at times, but most are of the older generation. Mainly these younger ones ... late teens to early 30's are being the rude or snooty ones. The older ones seem fascinated and want to start conversations with us often times... we like that

I feel like come talk... don't stare and then give a snobby look at us. We are friendly and nice to talk to, but it seems that they'd like to judge for whatever reason. Maybe I'm ranting tonight...lol Was at the mall today looking for that jacket...lol!

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

In the sad retrospect of it all you cannot stop people from staring, but you can laugh knowing that they will one day be looked snooty upon because they aren't in an interracial relationship

I like your rationale! You have such a positive outlook just like he does. All of this stuff rolls right off of him too, I'm the one that gets annoyed and wants to go into analyzing everything. Funny thing is that the subtle rudeness from other people pulls me closer to him. I guess in time I will laugh to myself just as you say... I will work on that!

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?
