why do people seem to think it's so weird that I'm marrying a white man?

I'm a 24 year old biracial woman engaged to a white man. We're getting married next month and we live in NYC so it shouldn't be such a big deal. But people always give us looks no rude comments tho. He's very hot and oh so sexy but I see IR couples everyday here so are people making such a big deal. I'm so tired of this IR thing sometimes I just want to leave him for a black man
 
Look hun!! Leave the poor guy! It's obvious you just want to fool around with a black guy!! No one cares if you date a green man! It's what makes you happy and obviously your not!
 
Wow I wouldn't have expected that in NYC. I think there's still a lot more racism everywhere than most people want to admit. I think you should just ignore it, if he makes you happy, it doesn't really matter what other people think.
 
If you can't handle other people's scrutiny, maybe you should get out of the relationship now before you get married, because he isn't getting any blacker and you aren't getting any whiter. If you really love each other, that will transcend any rude comments or obnoxious stares you get from other people. And as the years go by, the old racist fogies will die and the younger generation will take over. A younger, much more tolerant and open-minded generation.
 
I get those looks also, my girlfriend is white and I'm hispanic and we go through the same thing. Just ignore people sweetie, if they judge you base on the color of your skin and not your intelligence and character they are just plain ignorants. If you love him, who cares what people think.
 
Still think like a child.

Anyway, no one cares about outside opinions; it's your marriage, not their's. Give your fiancee some slack and let him go.
 
If you love him don't leave him. People are probably giving you weird looks because there is too much racism and stereotyping in the world today. Just ignore them and be happy with you fiance!
 
Some people just stereotype automatically based on race, religion etc. This is just our culture. Who cares how they look at you, you deserve to be happy and we cannot help who we fall in love with. I wish you the best!
 
That's the second time you have mentioned leaving him today, so just leave, im sure he doesn't deserve the heart ache you are giving him. BTW you are Biracial which means no matter who you date other than some one of the exact same mix as you, you will still be in an interracial relationship.
 
I'm in an interracial marriage and there have been very few people in the past 5 years who have given us "the look". Have you considered maybe you are looking for their disapproval and are overly sensitive to it. Maybe it is you making the big deal over it, after all you are in NYC, where I assume there are many IR couples.

On the other hand, those that do give you the look, just ignore them. After all it is your life and you are both happy and not hurting anyone.
 
Who cares what people think. Enjoy his hotness and that you snagged him.
