I'm a white girl dating a mexican guy. Do I get uncomfortable when people stare or stutter when we confirm that yes, we are together? Not after the first couple of times. I was raised that whites date whites, blacks date blacks, mexicans date mexicans. I always thought it was a stupid thing. I constantly got the 'you marry who you date' spiel, and was told that dating out of my race wasn't supposed to happen.
You know what? I am madly, deeply, truly, wholeheartedly in love.
I also agree with what was said about learning about the background too. He was born in Oaxaca, his parents grew up in different cities in Mexico, and I've learned so much and been exposed to so many interesting new things. It's wonderful what people have to share when you look at them as PEOPLE, not as a COLOR.
