A "romantic" relationship where the two people are of different races.
Someone pointed out to me the other day that I am in a
interracial relationship again. I was never aware of that in the first place. I guess then all my relationships have been. I was first kind of shocked that something like that may be one of the first things people think of when they see
my boyfriend and I.
Later on I talked to a friend about it. He asked if there was a reason I only dated white guys. I never thought about it before. I guess the fact that I am asian, I lived in a pretty
homoginized world until I moved away to college when I was 16. My parents are white (I was adopted as a baby), and grew up in a far from ethically diverse town. So my ideas about what I found attractive were based partly on that. I like tall, pale lanky
unix.boys/artsy guys. Sometimes I waivered to the suit and tie corperate types.
I don't think that there is anything wrong with interracial relationships, except using it as a label. For some reason when I think of this term, I get a overly
politically correct aura from it. It gives the same vibe
affirmative action does, to me at least.
