I'm 'caucasian' and my g/f is black; it sounds so dumb to even mention it cause we get along great, like brother & sister. People don't give us any problems in public but they sometimes do some dumb things. Example: we'll both be on line in the supermarket together and our food will be on the conveyor belt, and we have one cart. We'll be talking to one another while we're waiting in line. The cashier will start ringing stuff up, then look at us and say, "Are you two together?" I guess because she doesn't want to mix up the orders. I mean, 'duh'! Would that happen if we were both the same 'color'?

The same thing happens to my boyfriend and I. I am Black and he is half White and half Vietnamese. We are use to it at this point but it annoyed us when we first started dating. Who cares what other people think? Forget them. It's their problem. Not yours.

I do not understand it either. People can be pretty cruel or mean about it. as hard as it sounds, just ignore the ignorant comments. most of the time these people just want to get a rise out of you. sounds like you have a great GF. I wish the two of you nothing but happiness. :)

Uh, excuse me Max, but he said GETTING ALONG, like brother and sister. Duh!!
Anyways...
I know what you mean. I was dating this (white) guy and my friends kept saying I shouldn't...when I asked why they said it doesn't look right because I'm black.. (and I'm actually mixed, not very dark either.)
And, people always ask if I'm adopted because my mom is white. People really can't get this whole interracial dating thing through their heads!

Some people just don't want to believe That the civil war is over and you won. Good luck in the future.

i think it's dumb too
but to tell you the truth, i think everyone, including me does it
it's just natural i guess
all the segregation of our country's history and such
just so many people can't get it into their heads that there's nothing wrong or weird about interracial couples
well good luck =]
