Most interracial couples have had their fair share of problems just for being in interracial unions.

I never believed such things happened until my sister told me furiously how some Chinese woman at the mall saw her pushing her mixed race baby on the pram (who looks white) and asked her if she was baby sitting. Ok! What made her livid was the suspicious look on that woman’s face. Its like [...]

As my fellow Opinion contributor James pointed out in a post (Is it about Black women being unwanted or about what Black women want) published a few weeks back, according to some internet studies, White men rarely approach Black women online.

Most of the discussions on interracial couples we hear or read about often focus on interracial pairings between white people and someone of color. Look at the heated discussions people have on interracial relations within the Black or Asian communities for example. They are always about members of these communities and their white partners.

Some people have cited the reason for Black women making most internet headlines about being the largest unmarried segment in the U.S. to be both Black and non-Black men (mostly White that is).

“… there’s nothing wrong with being assertive and confident but sometimes black women go too far with this “strong black woman” crap. Black men run off with white girls because so to speak they let them be “the man”… White women don’t constantly try to test them or try to prove they are as “strong” [...]

If you are a Black man and want to see how prejudicial we still are, just be seen walking hand in hand in love with a white woman. It doesn’t matter who you are. Celebrity or not, so long as you are in the black men white women dating category, you wouldn’t want to hear [...]

Soul sista and Grammy Award winner Jill Scott once openly declared on Essence magazine that she “felt a wince” on hearing her black pal – male – was married to a white woman.
