Narcissism is, I think, the main reason (you'll see a surprising number of black males in interracial relationships themselves who are bothered by WM/BW couples) and in the case of white women who are bothered by it, it's primarily because the white man in the interracial relationship is considered desirable (black women generally only date desirable white men), and people against interracial relationships are particularly triggered by a desirable person being in one.
Black women outnumber black men already at age 16, so you'd expect a significant number of them to date outside their race.

Because they have so little going on in their own lives that borrowing trouble or starting it is the only means they have of getting attention. I had that conversation with my now seven year old when she was four, and she understood it then. Unless one of the partners is being abusive or immoral in any other way live and let bang.
Jealousy presumably plays a role, as the person the speaker is after must be desirable enough to them to notice and invest time and effort into caring either way. At least some of the black men who are lashing out at you or trying to justify your choice to themselves wish they had you.
It could be as simple as racism if the reason they are angry is race. It doesn’t have to be a complex or difficult reason. Some of the people giving you a hard time dating outside your race are racist against the person you are dating. The definition of racist includes people who aren’t white, just like the definition of sexist includes people who aren’t male.
It’s not just race that people obsess about, it’s absolutely anything.
I’m currently growing plants on my porch, they are pretty and look great. You wouldn’t believe the amount of b@chiness I’ve had of people. Literally the neighbourhood talking about three plants 😂 and turning it into a fiasco. They will find a problem no matter what. A lot of people project their unhappiness. You win when you just don’t give a sh&t.
I’ve seen some white guys be jealous because I have an Asian boyfriend, I just blame it onto jealousy.
Because they think they’d be happy to try dating me and seems like some of them feel like this Asian guy stole what is rightfully theirs. At least that’s how they sound to me.
Which is silly.
I choose to love who I want and just because I am white I shouldn’t have to limit myself to date just one race.

History. Past and present Social structures. Jealousy. Presumptions. Internalized and external racism. Miscontrued understanding of the world. Bitterness.
Sometimes if its coming from Black men, its a lack of value for the self or perceiving others as perceiving us as less valuable. Could be feelings of entitlement.
For Black women it could be an alien feeling. Perhaps a sense of loyalty to the concept of Black love. Maybe some are jaded by their experiences.
The answers vary and I have neither the time, patience, nor omniscience to answer better.
From other cultures it could just be based on the social systems that seem so rigid and inescapable.Whenever anyone has an issue with interracial dating of any kind, you can bet it stems from a certain amount of racism, jealousy and insecurity.
They will say anything they can to try to discredit that pairing, from calling it a fetish to the other things you've listed.
In reality everyone should just focus on improving themselves, discovering what they're attracted to, and pursue the relationships that are going to make them happiest (Without degrading their own race in the process of course).It's because they're ignorant it's because somebody taught them to hate people and themselves when they were younger and they weren't smart enough to figure it out that's why and to be honest with you I laugh at it I don't care because they're the ones losing out they're the ones you don't understand what love is all about they're the ones that are always caught up in all the bullshit the chaos and the hatred that is going around because they are not smart enough to figure it out that's what life is all about is experience they are not experiencing life they are experiencing hatred towards themselves they must be miserable I feel sorry for them to a point but at the same time I should go on for yourself say what you got to say do what you got to do because you know what you don't bother me I am bigger than that and you should try it sometime because you would understand what love and happiness is really about I feel sorry for them to a point
If two people make each other happy in life and between the... insert cheeky words.
I don't care if they're brown and white, yellow and black. Man and woman, woman and woman, man and man, add as many pronouns and pronouns as you feel necessary. It has never bothered me at all.
Now that I think of it though I have been attracted to a couple of really beautiful black women, baby give me some pointers on how to approach a strong black womanHard to believe this is still a thing in 2022. I guess some people will always have their petty complaints.
Knowing what I know about people it's probably got more to do with the problems in their own life. She's white and maybe is having trouble finding a decent white guy. I'm not sure it's so much overt racism as it's just petty jealousy. Black men I don't know. I'm going to guess based on white women's responses on this site that most white women don't like dating outside their race. So maybe with black men it's the thought of a shrinking dating pool, I don't know.
My guess is it all comes down to experience. I like black women. But then again all the black women I've known have been very open and honest (trust is a big thing with me). So I imagine that colors things for me. Maybe if my experience with black women was different I would think differently.Baby girl, don't let them get to you. These people are throwing shade because they can't find love, love that transcends standards, they can't find something as deep as the two of you have. I believe that the two of you love each other for the person either of you is, so don't let it bother you. Flow like a butterfly as they try to sting you like a bee.
No matter what the interracial pairing, there's always bound to be a portion of people with the attitude "They're taking our women!" (a largely male attitude I think). I personally haven't paid the most attention to black girls most of my life, but this year for some reason I've been crushing on black girls more.
As a white man I can only guess at all the reasons, but one coming from the black side might be the position of 'he's just trying to be her slave master all over again', which is a ridiculous viewpoint. She was forced into anything. Slavery is long gone. I really hope that's an incredibly rare opinion. I do get tired of Hollywood and other media always presenting a 'perfect couple' as a black man and white woman -- how about some other types, like a black woman with someone other than a black man?It’s really common here in the UK, that I don’t think anyone other than outright bigots or the usual fuckwits bother about it.
it’s really nothing to do with anyone you would think the world could move on to a more open and equal way of having relationships.
the ethnicity, gender, sexuality of the couple should not matter, main thing is they are happy.People don't care about interracial relationships as much as the people in the relationships make it seem. Of course there will always be a few naysayers, but generally most people couldn't care less.
It just racism it not only white men and black women couples, the opposite also get crap on. Trust me there are tons of black men and white women couples who also get criticize from everyone including white men and black women so just keep on living your own life and don't mind the judgmental pricks.
You surprised that black men don't like it?
https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/EntitledToHaveYouI don’t know why it bothers some people. If two people decide to be in a relationship together, it’s for their own reasons. It’s no one else’s business to even voice an opinion about. People need to stay in their own lane.
There's always going to be someone to get weird about anything. If you want to stay sane, you probably shouldn't give it too much thought.
Doesn't bother me at all. All the power to people that go against the norm of society. I will admit though... when I see a white girl with a black guy, I usually have the thought "Well I think I know what's going on there."
not sure… but whatever the reason is, it’s dumb so don’t entertain it and focus on you💯
The reason is everyone's perspective, conservative behavior is sometimes more toxic than common.
But it's changing. Maybe the world will be better for you kids.They're projecting social issues onto two individuals/one couple.
People like that consume too much media, practice too little neighborly love, and/or have probably not had a good lot in life.I don't and have never put up with attitude crap but have dated many races in my life, so I feel that some people are just not mature or old to understand race has nothing to do with happiness
Because they're crazy coots who have too much free time on their hands and not enough sense to manage that time properly.
I dated a few white men and while out in public people didn't seem to care, let alone have an issue with it. And I'm from the deep south also
