How do I explain to you people that interracial relationships are okay
Not every white person dating a POC is fetishizing. White people can be respectful and responsible when it comes to culture and relationships and not everyone has bad intentions.
Asian people can date Black people without you saying shit like โyour kids will be so prettyโ theyโre not dating for pretty kids. Theyโre dating bc they like each other.
Someone can dress their partner in clothing from their culture if they want. Someone can take their partner to cultural events if they want.
People in relationships can share cultures, experiences and love without it being toxic or skin deep.
Their partner isnโt culturally appropriating. Their partner is being shown the ultimate form of love, bc their partner trusts them and loves them enough to share their history and heritage.
Yeah, dating someone from your culture is nice bc you automatically have similar experiences. But youโre not limited to dating people with the same experiences. Loving someone is sharing and growing and being together.
Interracial relationships arenโt always toxic, and some of yโall need to stop projecting onto other people.

Calling ineterracial relationships toxic or fetishizing just seem like anti race mixing or racism with extra steps
This reminded me of this
We need to put the word cultural appropriation on the shelf until people start using it to mean โtaking from and misrepresenting a cultureโ instead of โhey letโs just bring back segregation but in a woke wayโ.
