People in Interracial relationships, don't you wish you can paint......?

People in Interracial relationships, don't you wish you can paint your and your partner one color and go out in public without stares and hostality? Seriously, I wish I can use make-up and color us one color like blue, green, etc. Put it this way....I rather me and my girl be blue, at least we wouldn't be called racial slurs by both sides.

Seems like the only realistic way to get around this hostality if both of you were at a costume party, that way, no one won't know your partner's skin color under the costume.

    As I was reading your comment, I saw the pain of your words :(

    Its a sad reality and I hate that people have to go through this, but don't let this discourage you both. Don't let the ignorance of others drive you both apart. Instead of looking at the negative from the outside (worldly views) but focus on the beauty from the inside (your relationship). In order for you both to be in a relationship that means that you both have something "special" and give this special "thing" all your attention. This special "thing" will be your reminder of why you both are together and are happy together. So in other words place all your energy into developing your relationship and not defending it. Since this will cause you to over look the goodness of your relationship and eventually terminating it.

    My parents went through the same thing. When they first started dating, they would get stares. But now that they have been together for along time, they no longer notice it, since their focus are always upon each other. A outsider may notice people staring at them, but it no longer grabs their attention, unless someone voice their ignorance (i have not saw/heard this happen).

    It may be human nature to fit in, but love yourself for who you are and for who she is. Never have thought of changing one another. Since there is no one on earth like you, so and be yourself.

    But at the end of the day, I know what I typed is easier said then done and getting to my parents level take a lot of love, life experience, God, and time.

    What you could do the next time you get stares is by comforting your girlfriend. Since more than likely she may feel the say way you do, which is uncomfortable. So try looking at her and smile, or place your arm around her and draw her closer to you. This way it shows that you don't care what others say and that you are happy being with her. Therefore, this may bring you two even closer together and making your relationship even stronger. Some people may say things in order to get a reaction so its safe to kill them with kindness and will show that you both are not affected my their actions/comments.

    It's not a easy fix but remember to LET LOVE CONQUER :)

    The fact that people have problems about interracial relationships to this day disgusts me. Anyone of any race, colour or gender should have the freedom and choice to be with whoever they want to be. If somebody does not like you and your girl, then they can go ‘be negative somewhere else’ (I tried to say that in the most PG way possible). It could also depend where you live; I live in Australia and we are a multicultural nation, meaning we accept everyone regardless of their race or culture. I don’t even think of relationships as being ‘the asian boy’ and the ‘white girl’, I say it’s two people who are in love.

    Don’t let anyone get to you. It would be ridiculous if you two broke up or had an argument based on what other people - other irrelevant people - said about you and your girlfriend.

    Sorry if this sounds rude, I am a proud supporter of interracial relationships and sometimes I get a bit heated.

    I've been in an interracial relationship for about 6 years and we have a 1 yr old together. We get stares and maybe once or twice some young men will make nasty comments to their friends about us being together if we walk past. We just ignore it.

    Here in the U.K. we have a wonderful lady comedian called Dawn French. She's short and cuddly and very funny. She's white. She married a very tall, handsome black comedian called Lenny Henry. When asked how she coped with comments about her marrying a black man she answered, "OMG!! Really?I hadn't noticed! Do you think Lenny knows? How will I tell him"? That's the attitude everyone in a mixed relationship should have. Just treat all racist remarks with the respect they deserve, and totally ignore them. You're above all that. Love has no colour. Love is blind.
