Tikii Posted September 1, 2011 Posted September 1, 2011 I feel like whenever I read about a interracial relationship, its usually specific to white women and black men. As a latin woman (light skin, sometimes confused for a white woman) who prefers to date black men, (not only black men, just mostly attracted to black men.) I've always been so frustrated with the problems society has given me. When out in public with my boyfriend, one of us is always stared down. Even though it bothers me I'm not going to change my preferences just to "fit in." I feel like people want to make it personal, and a competition almost. Whenever my boyfriend's black, female friends see me, they question him, "since when do you like white girls?" "who's that light skin girl your with?" "oh, you like spanish girls now?" and they almost take offense to it, and try to ruin us. Ive had girls make advances at him, just to get him to "realize how much better black girls are." Even latin men give me a hard time for "not sticking to my race" and try to change my mind. Why cant we be seen as 2 people in love? Not, black and white/latin? why do latin men and black women take my personal relationship, to heart? Even strangers!
alphamale Posted September 1, 2011 Posted September 1, 2011 why do latin men and black women take my personal relationship, to heart? Even strangers! because most people don't like to see others date outside of their race...you won't understand until you get older
Author Tikii Posted September 1, 2011 Author Posted September 1, 2011 because most people don't like to see others date outside of their race lol about the 'until you get older thing." (I guess you think I'm a teenager)but thats obvious, my question is why it bothers a stranger. the only time another persons relationship bothers me is one someone is being mistreated. I think everyone understands now that people don't like it, but I want someone who feels offended by a interracial relationship to explain why.

Because people need distractions from their miserable lives. Anyone whos happy would marvel at you two looking lovingly into each others eyes. People who are miserable need something to be angry at besides their crappy lives, or what they perceive to be crappy lives. Thats how they express themselves. Im dating a latin woman now, her ex is heated that she is dating a black guy, and theres alot of racial issues with him, but hes really miserable that he cant have her, and has no one to replace her. So even if people arent racist, they are still miserable, and they love to point the finger at anyone except themselves. So when you see strangers giving you two "the look", you can look down at them and laugh at their ignorance, misery, and immaturity. All of the gf's that ive run into were usually white or latin, and I always get these looks, and it makes me laugh, because they dont even know how stupid they make themselves look.
