Yes, more stares...but only because I am white, and have been with darker black girls. I think light and dark skin will get looks regardless of race.
Like Indian and a German or something lol.
I guess the next best question would be: How do you deal with the staring? I'm a Hispanic (somewhat Mestizo looking) girl who's dating a white guy and I've gotten some serious death stares from white chicks. I guess some white women take it as a personal insult...??? Then again, I've heard of Hispanic girls staring down white girls who are with Hispanic guys, but that certainly doesn't make it any less disconcerting for me. I could care less who a Hispanic guy dates, but that's just me.

That is bad. I don't know why white women would care. Some people are just racist.
I have read this thread "from afar" for a while trying not to get heated.
I am a white guy raised in inner city Dallas.(No we don't wear cowboy hats and ride horses!) There were maybe 3 other white kids in our neighborhood. I grew up not even knowing what racism felt like. No one in the community ever made me feel like I was less or unwanted. I had some of the best friends in the world come out of my childhood. When we got into highschool and all the rage was for each "race" to blame the other for whatever was bugging them; I lost a few friends to "reverse" racism. I lost a few girlfriends to angry fathers.
All in all this is mod cut 2009 Get off race. Who cares what color the paper is on a Christmas present! Open it get to know what is inside. We are not really all that different. Most of the divide is really over stupidity on both sides. The only true dividing factor is life experience. I now live in an upper middle class home, my wife is not white. We get constant crappy stares from the old white people. When I go to see my bestfriends mom( In the heart of Dallas Ghetto), no one says anything bad to us. Hell no one even cares we are there.
I am done I just could not contain it anymore!

Reason: foul language
I'm white and usually date asian men, I get lots of stares and used to think something was wrong with me. I thought I must look like a clown or something because people would glare and sometimes look mean. I didn't notice until 2 yrs into my 1st asian relationship that it was only when I was with him. I always used to point it out and ask him why are those people staring at us? My friend told me that it was probably the fact that I'm white and he is asian and people aren't used to seeing that. I thought that was silly and I'm still very proud to be with an asian guy. I like the attention now.
This question is really useless as who in H cares who stares at you really. Ignore them period. No reason to care about some stanger. Life is too short!
these types of people are racist, IMO. Who cares who dates who?? If you don't like it, tough! never go outside because there will be interracial couples everywhere. So if you don't want to see them, then stay home!!
Is it 2009 or what??
