Dear people who diss me and my Asian boyfriend

Hello, guy who made fun of me dating someone who’s Asian, telling me he has a small penis and saying that he eats dogs!

Hello, girl who asked if I was into Asian men because I couldn’t get a “real white man” to satisfy me!

Hello, my high school teacher who made an indirect racist comment about my boyfriend to my face!

And so many more...

Dear people who diss me and my Asian boyfriend

I’m doing great, how about you? While i’ve been with my boyfriend for over four years, have you changed your ways? I’m guessing not. Even though we live in an area with about 30,000 Filipinos, it seems that a lot of you guys still haven’t got the hint that segregation is illegal and interracial marriage and relationships are a thing. It seems that whenever I go to a public place with my significant other, you still stare at me and laugh at the both of us. While many residents in this area who are Filipino welcome me with open arms, it seems that you all still make sly comments about him to my face.

It’s never talking about me being with him, it always seems to be about him being with me! You all make comments degrading him. You call him a dog eater, which is definitely not true, you all call him a chink, you say that he looks too burnt next to me. You comment about his nose, about his culture, about his national food. You comment about his English, even though English is his first and only language that he speaks.

Dear people who diss me and my Asian boyfriend, you say that you are only trying to help me find someone better. But what is better? A person who is white like I am? If that’s all that matters to you, then never speak to me again. I have NEVER commented about your boyfriend or girlfriend’s race, have I? Because I understand the shit that I get put through for dating someone who is a different skin color than me.

You’d think that in 2018, people would ignore me and my boyfriend trying to buy groceries instead of getting constant stares, but I guess not. You’d think that we’d be able to go to a movie or go swimming at the beach and not get giggles and people yelling out “RACE TRAITOR!” But I guess not. You’d think that people would stop smirking and rolling their eyes after THEY ask me about my boyfriend, but I guess not!

Dear people who diss me and my Asian boyfriend, it’s disgusting you think this way. It’s disgusting how people tell me to leave him because, apparently, i’m not prideful of being white. It’s disgusting that people ask sexual questions to me as soon as I tell them he’s Asian. Things like “So how big is his penis?” Or “Does he smell weird when you guys have sex?” These things would most likely not be asked if I was attracted to a white man instead of my loving boyfriend.

Dear people who diss me and my Asian boyfriend, fuck you. Of course I got offended when you say racist shit. And while he brushes it off, it makes me sick, because he seems used to it. Of course I threaten to smash your face in if you say “Ching Chong” to me because of him. Not all Asians are the same. And the wrong stereotype makes me laugh. If you want to insult him, use the right stereotypes, then i’ll insult you ten times over.

Dear people who diss me and my Asian boyfriend, grow up. Let us live in peace without you fucking shit up. Dear people who diss me and my Asian boyfriend, stop acting like this is the 1960’s and worry about your relationship. Don’t guilt me into being with someone else because, apparently, I don’t like how white I am. Dear people who diss me and my Asian boyfriend, don’t ask me how big his penis is. It doesn’t matter, even to me. Why the fuck do you need to know about him like that? Why is that one of the first questions you ask? Stop.

We’ve been together for almost four and a half years. We’re high school sweethearts. While he’s graduating college with his degree at 20, while he puts sweat and tears into his projects and assignments, he still is able to give me the attention that I cherish so much from him. He’s able to listen to me and reason with me and calm me down. He’s one of the reasons that I love getting up in the morning. He’s the biggest reason why I smile. He makes me happy. And every time you, The racist idiots, make comments about us being interracial, it makes me love him even more. He was able to look through the color of my skin and accept me. I was able to do the same.

Dear people who diss me and my Asian boyfriend, keep making those comments, because it will never change the love I have for him.
