What do you think about mixed relationships? How can I handle this situation...?

I've only been in a few mixed releationships but I am a lesbian. (imagine the stares I got as a mixed lesbian relationship). Both situations get you stared at as if you have three heads. Living in the south makes this even worse. A lot of people view mixed relationships as a bad thing still. I've noticed that black people who see another black person with a white person look down on it. almost as if they are saying "why couldn't you do better than to be with a white person". This is not alwasy the case but I have seen that happen. Also, older white people tend to be stubborn, they are set in their ways and aren't likely to change. growing up they never say mixed relationships so it's weird for them. but this is no excuse, especially in today's society. I am white and when I was with my black girlfriend, her friends gave me a lot of crap for it. but my grandma did as well, she just didn't understand why i was dating somone of a different race. This also happened with my indian girlfriend.

The best way to deal with it is to ignore it. i'm glad all the bigotry doesn't affect your relationship. My mom has always told me "you can't change people". that is so true. You will never change the way most people view mixed relationships. all you can do is change the way you react to their nonsense. as long as your family and friends accept it, everything will be alright. most people don't even have that.good luck!

my opinion is, in case you and YOURE family individuals are ok with it then screw something! the reason i reported you and your loved ones is using the fact i'm mixed white, black, and hispanic. i don't likely look black and his family individuals didnt even understand. and while they did his brother could say the n be conscious because of the fact they're racist..yet they don't look to be in direction of me. they have goten extra efficient, in spite of the incontrovertible fact that it quite is not straightforward because of the fact he's close along with his family individuals and so am i. It form of ruined me desirous to stay the night there and all, in spite of the incontrovertible fact that it quite is def gotten alittle extra efficient. so in case you and youre family individuals are ok with it, then like i reported, screw something, because of the fact while it comes right down to it fhis amily will continually be a factor of your existence too. it could additionally be challenging if he has associates that say the n be conscious. yet, all you're able to do is stay your existence and be extremely joyful with him if thats who you like. god mustve positioned him on your existence for a reason

Sad for you. I suppose we should be grateful that at least you can walk down the street hand in hand with your boyfriend. It was not very long ago that you could not do that in America. Just stare back at them and be proud.

Best thing to do is, not to care what others think. People aren't always going to be happy with what you do. But honestly, who gives a damn? It's your life and if it makes you happy, well then do it.

Maybe they just think you guys are a great looking couple. Take it as a compliment.

give in to your natural impulses and find a good woman.

you do understand what "lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered" means, don't you?
