What the FUCK?

Just click. Just...

My mom says that when she was younger, she dated a black guy. And she had a black friend who was dating a white guy, so they just double dated a lot in order to avoid getting bothered at restaurants. I really thought those days were over.

people in them are brave, breaking stereotypes and intolerance with love and i feel we should be celebrating these unions more than we are.

Agreed. There was an interracial lesbian couple at my school, and I always thought their PDAs were a "fuck you" to the homophobic racist assholes on campus.

I work in a middle school now, and the other day there was a couple hugging - white boy, Asian girl. A group of students were grossed out by their "making out" and one referred to them as that "tall kid with that flat face girl." At first I thought it might have been that they were disgusted by the hugging part of it (eew cooties!), but then after that last part was said, I wonder how much of it was racial. Ugh.

That saddens me. One of the cutest couples I know is a sweet sweet white boy dating a sweet sweet Asian girl. If two people are really sweet on each other, who gives a shit what they look like, or if they're the same gender. With as much hatefulness running around in the world today, I'm more than happy to see love and adoration anywhere I can.
