Me on interracial couples normally: “So long as there is no fetishism, internalized racism, or anything else unhealthy going on, I don’t see an issue with it!”
Me on interracial couples after seeing the posts they make on social media:
Interracial relationships are either normal ones (usually if both parties have done their share to unlearn racist propaganda and have a liberationist pov) or just plain train wrecks and I say this as someone who is in one. Then again both my partner and I are mixed.
Yeah, white family members especially are not good to deal with most of the time with their racist “jokes”. I find it funny how white people seem to think it’s ok to make jokes at other races expenses but if you make the softest and most tamest white people joke like “white people don’t season their food” they get so offended like you just kicked a puppy in front of them.
My granddad was a white guy who married a Chinese woman he met in Taiwan while he was deployed there with the navy, so you can already guess how 80% of this story goes. He spent the next several decades up until his death becoming obsessed with China, became a China studies professor, etc. From what I’ve heard from my dad the household was an abusive disaster and one parent pulling a knife on the other wasn’t a rare occurrence. Literally every time I ever met him he would be demanding constant praise from whoever he was talking to for having solved racism, and in his own words having “cured racial hatred in my family for at least the next 5 generations.”
Like damn, I guess his dementia must have made him forget about how 80% of my family is indulging in some form of self-hatred and doing purification-of-the-bloodline type shit, and how all my cousins became servant-of-the-empire foreign service freaks who all eventually wound up as ghouls working in the DC foreign policy circle in the hopes of becoming honorary Aryans.
This kind of shit got so bad I’ve gone 100% no contact with every single relative. I’m happier now than I’ve ever been going it solo. Luckily I have a relatively stable job that enables me to do that.
I worry about this with one of my nieces who is 1/4th. black. Her dad is a cryptofascist who will immediately go off about Mexico any time it’s brought up. He was also on that “George Floyd is a counterfeiter who died of a drug overdose” shtick for a while, too.
He’s the one who banned me from their house and I haven’t seen him in like 4 years now lmao
I had crushes on white people before, prob a good thing none of them out if I’m being honest. I’m happy now and at a stage where I’m not chasing white approval as cringe as that’s to admit about my past self
There was a time when I dated white while living in the US. Coming back to Guatemala put a quick end to that with how much less of them were around. Also realized how much I enjoyed not having to deal with racist “jokes” from whoever I was dating or their friends/family.
I eventually married a Guatemalan of East Asian descent but there haven’t really been any issues on that front other than occasionally being reminded she’s more Guatemalan than I am.

It’s usually one where the partner is white that problems get really pronounced.

100% they’re using you as an excuse for the jokes, “it’s okay my cousin is xyz”
No doubt. It’s a good thing they were shitty people in general and we’ve gone no to very little contact with them.
