When I was a young teen my Grandpa tried to tease me, "I saw you with a little black girl." I don't know what he thought when my reaction was something like shrugging my shoulders. He was from a different world. Instead of it being a tease, I was more like, "I wish that was true." Being a young male I was interested in ALL girls!
When my daughter was a young teen, a friend asked her, "would your parents let you date a black boy?" She said something like, "Yes, why not?" The friend said, "I thought your parents would be strict." My daughter was amazed, "strict? what does that have to do with it?"
Attitudes are sure slow to change, but things ARE changing. Time moves on, and interracial couples are "no big deal" for many of us. Here in California, you would drive yourself insane if it bothered you. I wish I could get everyone to "free their minds." Race is such a ridiculous thing to waste your energy thinking about.
