Why do I get backlash from people for liking girls like this?

Anonymous

I’m a good looking man who’s Latino, and I really want to date black women. I’m just afraid how people will react to this because I’ve had strange looks from people when I told them that I like black girls. Keep in mind, the city I live in is kind of country. I didn’t know there was still racism around till I started getting these overly judgmental looks from the people I told this too. Like one time I met this hot black chick at the bar, and all the white girls were staring at me like crazy because I was hugging her and showing her a good time. So the thought of how these people treated me, made me leave her😞. I still wish I could’ve asked her for her number. Because she liked me so much. If I’m not even her boyfriend, and yet, I’m getting this treatment, I can’t imagine how I’ll get treated if I actually hold her hand and kiss her in public….

Like even my parents are somewhat racists. They don’t want me to date black girls. Same with my older sister.
