Why do so many interracial couples get so much crap for dating someone from the other race?

So, I have to say it has gotten way better for me! But being a blonde lady with a black men I really soon found out who my friends are. I had to go through my network again and really pick and choose. I have received weird comments from both black as white people and so has my hubby.

To be clear, I do not choose someone based on colour as I like men from any race! But when I came together with my man Tyson, his now ex lady who is black really had a hard time accepting he was with a white girl. Having said that, it also happened the other way around. My mother had to get used to it for instance.

My bottom line is just, why on earth do you mind about someone who is with a person who you won't date anyways? In our families we all get along and our friends also! We have a good network nowadays. Also I treat his kid from his ex as if it is mine too, we have a good bond. His ex and Tyson are also on good terms because of the kids. However her and I will never get truly along. Which I think is a shame, but at least she stopped the name calling and acts normal when the little boy is around.
