'I am Korean-American, and my partner is white. My MIL lectured me about all the 'Karen racism' she is facing. My FIL used the phrase 'China Virus.' Both have demanded actual examples (proof) of racism and micro-aggressions that I have experienced.'
"I'm white, and my boyfriend is Mexican. His family was super accepting of me and welcomed me with open arms. The only challenge was the language barrier with some family members who don’t speak English. I’ve been learning Spanish and can speak it decently now. On the other hand, my family was not so accepting at first."
My husband is 100% on my side, and he is the one who handles his family when issues do come up. He's taken steps to better understand my life experiences and perspective and has found his own therapist to help him through different situations. I couldn't ask for a better partner.""I’m mixed , and my boyfriend is white. He was plenty aware of racism as a general concept when we met, but he didn’t really think about the day-to-day stuff before I told him about my experiences.
"I also explained to them that my husband is not their designated brown person to answer all of their questions, and he is definitely not the spokesperson for all Mexicans about anything, just his own opinions. For some reason, that was a really difficult concept for them to grasp.""We get plenty of looks and the occasional ignorant comment, but no overt hostility. However, I tend to avoid places where I think that might be more likely.
"He’s also had to understand that he and his white friends aren’t automatically in the clear because they’re liberals. Yes, you can still be racist, even accidentally. No, I’m not going to give you a free pass to say offensive things. We always work these bumps out though, and over the years, he’s become much more knowledgeable and well-rounded. Other than that, our families are completely accepting, and people in public treat us well. Overall, few problems.
