Hello everyone,
I too am in a biracial relationship. I'm american he's mexican. You should see the looks we get. People always seem to stereotype you know?! Although sometimes when people make comments I don't stop them with the first one, I let them keep going until they've bad mouthed Mexicans until there's nothing left to say, then I chime in and say. Yeah I know what you mean, but my husband is MEXICAN. I tell you what, once I say that they feel about 1 inch tall.
See when I was growing up I was raised to never judge someone by the color of their skin. My mother taught me that. She had so many diverse friends and accepted everyone. My father grew up in the city and was beat up on a daily basis by the black kids at his school, therefore he doesn't care much for black people. However, since that has happened, since my brother and I were born and he realized that we accepted everyone equally, he's changed his ways. He now sees people for people. Not a color. Which makes me very proud, because it's hard to change the thinking of a head strong italian.
It very much angers me though when people can be so cruel and hateful and not even try to get to know a person and just make assumptions and judgements at first glance. I guess we all do that at one time or another, not even the color of the skin but in the way people dress or behave. But in my humble opinion, racism will get you nowhere.
