5. It is amazing how you don’t see skin color
Of course they see color, they are not blind (unless they are really blind). If someone is charcoal black or rice white, you notice, however the question is if you care. There are things that are more important in a relationship other than their skin color, like hygiene, humor, personality and toes. It is not that interracial couples don’t see color, it is simply that it is not a priority.
6. Your babies are going to look so adorable
When you start crushing/dating someone, is it because you think your babies will look good? No but if it is, then that’s a problem for a therapist. As much as mixed babies are cute, it is not a 100 percent guarantee, genes are funny things. When two people start dating, babies are not something they even think about. So, do you think that interracial couples don’t take any protective measures during sex because their babies will be cute anyways?
7. Be honest, is your partner as [insert stereotype] as they say?
What? Loose? Aggressive? Drinker? Not well endowed down there? There is a reason stereotypes are not facts, they are offensive and most of them very untrue. Most people take them at face value and then start labeling different races according to those sweeping generalizations. In fact, there is also a stereotype that people who ask these sorts of questions are dumb but perhaps that is misplaced. Moreover, interracial relationship is not a social experience. Such questions make it seem as if by some chance the relationship ends, they are both required to write a reflective report.
8. Other people might judge, but what you are doing is amazing
Dating a person from another race is not a phenomenon feat. They have not saved millions from hunger because they are in an interracial relationship. Some people think that those in an interracial relationship deserve some sort of humanitarian award. Interracial relationship are like any other; they are based on love and understanding, not a desire to bring world peace. A person doesn’t fall in love with another because their love is rare or unique. If so, people would fall in love and start with their furniture more often.
