Interracial relationships are on the rise in the United States. However, for some people, seeing two individuals with different skin colors happily in love can still produce befuddling reactions.
Below are the five things you should never say to two people in an interracial relationship:
“How does that work?”
Well, like any other relationship, there are two people who like each other and decide they want to be together…
“Aren’t the cultures just so different?”
Of course there are differences, but I don’t want to date a clone of myself! That would be boring.
“Do your parents like him/her?”
Would you be asking me this question if my partner was the same race as me? Probably not.
“You two would have such cute babies.”
Um… thanks? Sorry, but that’s not in the foreseeable future.
“You just have jungle fever.”
This one is the most cringe-worthy––just, no.
