Interracial couples of Reddit, what was the worst racist attack that you've been subject to?

1. This happened at my friend's wedding. He is Chinese and she is Caucasian. She is from out of state. So although they dated for a long time none of his friends or relatives had ever met her parents, who stayed where they are and rarely visited her, before the wedding. So few in the wedding banquet knew what her parents were like or prepared for what was coming. Long story short, at their wedding the bride's mother got up to give a speech. She started with, "When I first heard my daughter is dating a Chinese man my first reaction was, 'Please God no!'." Followed by a long speech filled with racist shit and ended with "It took a long time but I finally came to see him and love him like a human being."

2. It wasn't terrible, but once I showed a picture of my white boyfriend to someone. He exclaimed, "But you're BLACK!" The person I was talking to was an Indian man with a white wife.

3. I'm a Pacific islander married to a white woman. I don't really get anything from white people, but unfortunately, one side of my family isn't very nice to her because she's white. They've gone as far as to ask me why I married a white girl in front of her. We don't talk to them anymore

4. Dated a black girl on and off for a few years. A Cajun redneck I worked with didn't think too much of it. Told me 'I don't think that's right." Why not? "Well,...what if y'all have kids? "I don't know....what if we do?" He had had no answer and dropped it. All the other rednecks I worked with didn't really care. Most problems we had were from black guys. they REALLY didn't like it. They always tried talking directly to her, as if I wasn't there. 'What's he got I ain't' kind of shit. She always hit back with 'a job' or 'good credit' or something snappy like that. Some would come right up and try to pick her up right in front of me. It always happened when there were more then one of them, of course. No solo guys ever did anything. Never had a problem with women, no woman back or white ever had anything bad to say. old white women were always the nicest, tell us what a nice couple we were. Older black women were a close second with the compliments.

5. My daughter is half black (I'm a honkey). The greeter at Meijer thought I was kidnapping her because she was crying. (I didn't buy her a candy or something) She tried to snatch her away but my kid was having none of it, loss prevention, managers, cart pushers and even an off duty cop all got involved. It was a mess. Just because some old bitch couldn't fathom a white guy having a half black kid.

6. SO is Asian, both sets of grandparents came to the US from China. I'm white, mostly of Irish descent. Get a lot of people commenting on the fact that a white girl is with an Asian guy, mostly harmless stuff but some of it really crosses the line. Like once some guy said "wow, don't usually see that kink go the other way round", after his pickup line didn't work. Right to my fucking face. My inner "Southie psycho" came right out to play then. The worst, though, was last weekend. SO and I are pulling into a busy mall parking lot, and quickly pull into the first space in sight. Well, apparently some lady at the other end of the row 'saw it first' and was planning on taking that parking space before we 'stole' it. She pulled up behind our car and lays on the horn while I'm parking. SO is very non-confrontational and calm, suggests we wait until she leaves before exiting the vehicle. But she really seems to want to scream at us, because she's not leaving. My turn. We get out of the car while she's screaming at us, and as we walk past her vehicle to get to the mall entrance, I yell "Christ, lady. It's a fuckin parking space, get over it!". There's a brief pause, then she shouts at our backs "yeah boy, your eyes might be slitted but I know you saw me there". I WAS THE ONE DRIVING. IF YOU WANNA START SOMETHING, START IT WITH ME

7. I'm white American and my ex husband was Brazilian. I've lost track of how many time friends and family have said "oh he's probably just in it for the papers" or "do you have trouble communicating?" Or "does he have to work under the table?" He had citizenship years before I met him, speaks 3 languages fluently, and has a M.A. in international business. But, you know, god forbid we might have actually like each other, lol.

8. Not really an attack, but when I was dating a Chinese guy, my grandfather was a total prick about it. He told me not to ever bring him around when he was there or else he'd give him a piece of his mind. He was very anti-Asian. His brother was a POW in Japan and he thought all Asians are basically the same because they're descended from the Chinese. He said something about them not having value for human life, which is real rich coming from a guy who beat the living hell out of his kids so badly that his own brother (the POW) didn't want his children around the guy.

9. I'm white, my wife is black, and in about 8.5 years together no one, friend family acquaintance coworker or total stranger, has ever made any kind of insulting or derogatory comment about it. Like, maybe once a year we'll see someone do a double take at us. So I guess by default that's the "worst racist attack" we've ever been subjected to. There has been the opposite though, awkwardly over-the-top well-meaning attempts to make sure we know they accept us. Like one of my mom's friends asking me in a serious tone if it was hard for my wife to grow up black in America. Like no ma'am I'm pretty sure her upbringing was pretty normal but this now is an awkward convo I would like out of please lol

10. My boyfriend is Asian and I’m white. We mainly get people pointing, staring and whispering to each other about us. I’ve been called a race traitor because I don’t date white men. But I’m not exclusive to a specific race either, so I don’t know. Nothing really crazy though.

11. When I was in an interracial (black & white) relationship, we got nasty looks at the grocery store a couple times - from Hispanic people for some reason. We definitely laughed about it trying to figure out which one of us they were upset about.

12. I’m white, married to a Hispanic man. We don’t really have any attacks, but get a ton of dirty looks from older Hispanic women. Once a woman said, “the whites are taking all of our young men” in Spanish, to her friend about us. Yep, I’m just out here, forcing all the Mexican dudes to marry me!

13. it's not an outright attack but i'm so fucking sick of people asking "are you two together?" at the grocery store. restaurants. shopping anywhere, really. oh, not at all, i'm just standing uncomfortably close to this random white guy.
