If so, why do you think this is?
Being in an interracial relationship, I can still only speak from my own personal experience, and YES, I do think some interracial couples have it easier than others, but there is still a lot of taboo and racism, usually masked as just jokes. My husband is Vietnamese, and I am white, so we do get a lot of yellow fever, Asian persuasion comments among other things, and for him I think a lot of people are surprised by the fact that he is with a white woman as most arent into Asian men (apparently I guess?). It doesn’t seem like it’s a big deal, but there is always a time where we meet new people and there always has to be a comment or little discussion about our relationship and it’s usually why do you like Asian men, small penis, how did he manage to get a white girl blah blah blah.
When we first started dating I used to just brush these comments off but now for sure I call people out because it is frustrating having people constantly try to invalidate my relationship for the sake of some stupid overused racist jokes. Also most of these comments are from white men, as if they think they are Entitled to white women before anyone else.
I do think as well that environment has a lot to do with it. Most of the comments I have experienced were in my small town where most of the population was white, and most of the minorities would date within their own little communities. Here in Toronto though where there is a lot of diversity, people don’t bat an eyelash at us.
Despite all of this though, I know that it could be more difficult to exist an an interracial couple under Different circumstances.
