My marriages were both to Hispanic men, but since most think I look Latin, and the fact that I'm in South Florida, I never had any problems.
I did, however, live with and date a black man for over two years and learned just how intolerant people are. Together, we were often victims of staring, glaring and even treated differently by sales people and hosts at restaurants. We thought it was hilarious.
I have no problem with mixed marriages. My broken marriages were not due to any cultural or ethnic difference. People are people and love is love.
