Question

Have you been discriminated against due to being in an interracial relationship? ?

Answer 1

Yeah. I'm black, and my boyfriend is white, so when we go out-to-eat or something like that, the waitress always acts rude, or is always acting ignorant to us and just us. They do not do it to anyone else. That usually doesn't happen though, just on rare occasions

Answer 2

Kinda... when I was walking with my ex boyfriend (who was Puerto Rican) we were holding hands walking outside and like people were staring at us and it made me and my ex boyfriend uncomfortable!

Answer 3

Yes, too often.  I am a white woman and my fiancee is black.  We get stares all the time.  I usually am the one getting them by black women.  I can't help who I love, sorry and really don't care what others think.  I love him for who he is not his skin color.  On the other hand we have also got some good feedback.  A lil old lady told us we looked so good together and made a handsome lil boy.  It goes both ways.

Answer 4

Answer 5

I stare at black men with white women. I must admit it bothers me. Why? Because there are so few examples of black love from a black man to a black woman, besides the degrading examples exemplified throughout society. So, I stare, and have a look of disgust on my face. I'm working on it, but sometimes it (disgusts) rears it's ugly head

Answer 6

KinDa....when im talking to my white bf in the st pPl kinda stop && stare....and whatnot...but i dont caree....thats their problem nt myne.

Answer 7

No.. but I am sure I'll get some comments and stares after my mother finds out.

Answer 8

In my current relationship, no.  In my first marriage, definitely. This was in 1980. We had restaurants who refused to serve us, landlords who refused to rent to us. We got our share of stares and threatening phone calls, too. It was terrible.  Thank God times have changed.

Answer 9

Several times. For example, a former employer actually called me a "mud shark" before terminating my employment. This was after he (a Veterinarian who I was working for as a Vet. assistant) found out that my husband is "black".                        

Answer 10

In response to "The Truth Aint' Hate"... You have a lot more influence than you may realize when you glare at these white women like that.  I'm white.  I was dumped by my black boyfriend when I was a couple months away from giving birth to his child.  I have no doubt in my mind that his reason for abandoning me when I needed him most was because of the disapproval of our relationship from his black family and peers.  I still struggle to get over the intense hurt this caused me and the fact that our daughter for all practical purposes doesn't have a father.  So, congratulations...  Guess he showed me.
