my husband and i are different races. I have never paid attention to it, my husband could be pink and nothing would be different, but i have noticed starring from older people and racial comments. is it really that "abnormal" to see couples like that in this time?
I'm from San Diego and we just recently moved to his hometown in Texas. It's very small. Could just be living in different locations?
I'm half Korean/ half french, my husband is Mexican.
Update:pardon me let me be politically correct. he is Hispanic/ Latino. point is our skin is a diff. color.
Update 3:also Mexicans are not descendants of Spanish. Common misconception mexico was ruled by spain

You would think California would be more diverse friendly.
No we're a bunch of racists out here.
I get the same thing too.
It is more rare to see interracial couples among older people. It has definitely become more socially acceptable over time. Location a role in how people perceive interracial couples. Places with more diversity tend to see more mixing of the races. I live in Florida and my ex gf was Half black half Italian and Im white. South Florida is very diverse so we never really had any problems, but if i moved back up to my hometown, there were only white people so it would probably be looked at as strange. Pay no mind to people lookin at you weird. I think interracial marriage is great. It is good to see race is not an issue for you
i'm one thousand% for gay marriage, gay adoption, gay love and equivalent gay rights, nonetheless i'm a hundred% at modern-day myself. i do no longer see how everyone can choose somebody for who they love, love has no gender and it is not a decision, it rather is an allure which you're born with, you may not help or stay away from it and no person has the main appropriate to choose everyone on that. no person. i do no longer see why interacial couples or relationships are even an argument anymore, i don't be attentive to everyone who's against it. we live in 2010 now and individuals could learn how to settle for it in the event that they have not already. I even have no longer something against it. i'm professional-decision. i do no longer even could desire to checklist the numerous clarification why. Being professional-decision is life like, it rather is in line with information, it ignores the biases of religion and private opinion on it being "homicide" and it cuts at modern-day to what's fact. The scientific area of it, it rather is scientifically shown that somewhat ones heart would not start up beating till 12 weeks, at which point maximum clinics won't carry out abortions. The doable age for a fetus is 26 weeks on the least, which ability any time a toddler is born in the previous then, there is no way it rather is going to survive. human beings could get their information at modern-day in the previous they decide on this. professional-lifers are hypocrites, you may not be "professional-existence with exceptions" you may not use faith as an argument, you may not argue without the information. own opinion and the obtrusive are 2 countless issues fullyyt. i'm pregnant besides by the way, being professional-decision would not inevitably advise i could have an abortion, i'm preserving my toddler yet i'm happy the choice to terminate a being pregnant for even though reason (and there are hundreds of clarification why) is there.
I don't mean to sound rude, but I think you are looking for that sometimes. I see mixed couples all the time, and I seldom see anyone turn around to look or to comment. It's not abnormal to see it, but I really don't think it's a big deal. We have Korean grandchildren, and if people take a look at us and try to figure out what we are about, that's just fine with me. I actually find older people most accepting. It's like they aren't used to it, but they are really trying. Just live your life. Don't worry about if someone is looking at you. Look back and say Hello!
Id say its both the smaller town and the older generation , they tend to be a little old fashioned in their thinking , but on the most part Id say it is pretty normal and I do not see anything in the world wrong with it I feel the same way as you my husband could be any color and I love the man not the skin
You know what they say: Location, location, location. Things are generally fine in the urban and coastal regions, but the smaller the town the weirder it gets. My hubby and I like to stick close to San Francisco for that reason.
wow you're very wrong.
yes mexico was ruled by the spanish BUT the spanish mixed with the natives, read about it http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mestizo
not all but a HUGE portion of mexicans have spanish blood.
also i'm mexican and i dated a chinese guy and i never go stares and i lived with him in a small town in etxas as well. if they stare u need to get over it, who cares? as long as you guys are happy.
It really just depends on where you are. California is known for is diversity. When I was with my ex, he is black, and Im white. We went to orgeon to visit my moms family.... yeah, that was good times. We got crazy stares all over the place. I think the only reason no one said anything was because he was 6'4, and the ones that did thought he was a basketball player....lol
Well you said it yourself, from 'older people' they lived in a different time with a different society, this kind of thing was at best taboo for them. Its just hardwired into their brain. Not that it excuses them from being rude about it. Most younger generations, at least the ones that aren't ignorant wouldnt even give you a second glance(unless one of you is really hot=P)
who cares I'm in a interracial relationship I get all kinds of stares! And I live in the South so it's a little bit worst but f**K what people say and think do you! You shouldn't let people bother you
