Is There Support for People Who Are In Interracial Relationships?

When immigrants move to a different country for the first time; many of them have to learn a new language in order to be able to communicate with others. They, also have to adjust to their new environments. In addition, overcome sterotypes, meet new people, and find support groups to help them with there transition. In comparison, people who are in Interracial Relationships may have to learn a new language for the first time if their significant other speaks a different language from them, and learn cultural differences to get a better understanding of ones culture. For this reason, it allows them to be able to raise their children with knowledge of both cultures. Further, other challenges Interracial Couples will need to discuss is how to overcome/remain unbothered when they experience racism. Which, can be a learning experience for each of them, and eye opening for some to see how life experiences can be so different for one cultural group over another, depending upon a persons race.

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/couple who was in love would do. Furthermore, many years Later, After, being married for over 20 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. The staring still continues to this day, but we have received compliments by some people. What experinces have you had being in an Interracial Relationship?

Mildred & Richard Loving were history makers, due to the case of Loving v Virginia. Although their fight to live together, after marriage was a struggle because of their race, and at the time when they got married. It was against the law to marry outside of one's race in the state of Virginia. However, after over coming many obstacles, the Lovings were victorious in their Landmark case, which acknowledged their married as valid, and allowed the couple to be together. 

There are also several movies on the couples relationship, like Mr. & Mrs. Loving, Loving,and The Loving Story, but Despite, their troubles, The Lovings case has helped many Interracial Couples around the world to be able to marry someone who is of a different race without law interference.
