Does Society Treat Interracial Couples Differently?
Does Society Treat Interracial Couples Differently? Well, this may be a question one may have that is not in an Interracial relationship,but for people who are in an Interracial relationship; they know the answer to this question, Far to well.
Be it going to a trip to the mall, grocery store, a walk in the park, or a night out at a fancy restaurant. Many Interracial Couples have experienced different treatment by society than non-interracial couples.
For example, In The Beginning of Our Relationship,
I can remember many experiences that I have had being In an Interracial Relationship. From going out to eat dinner with my husband at a restaurant, and the waitress/waiter only addressing him.How are you doing today sir?, What would you like to order sir?,or How can I help you sir?, Other times; when we have walked up to a store counter together, he only got addressed. Further, we would, also get mean stares, and regular staring by both men, and women to try to make us feel as if we did something wrong, or curiosity. When we were just going about our life together minding our own business, like any other married couple/couples who were in love would do.
Furthermore, many years later,
after, being married for many years in an Interracial relationship, I can honestly say that not much has changed with how me, and my husband are treated when we go out together. Nowadays, a waiter/waitress greets both of us, but it still makes us feel a little uncomfortable. Since, it sometimes does not come across as genuine, and The staring still continues to this day, but we have received compliments by some people.
