LOL, yeah I wont disagree with you on that, a lot of us desi men tend to have these hang ups. Same goes for desi women vis a vis desi men dating interracially.
Haha, I specifically said "on the street" because I didn't want to bring up the fact that, whenever I do get the occasional funny look, it's usually from a desi in an environment with lots of desis, rather than randomly on the street. But honestly, even those are pretty rare. We don't really do clubs...wondering if we might see more hostility in a "competitive environment."
I see more black women in IR relationships than anywhere else I've lived. Went to a restuarant in DC a few weeks ago and there were three black women with white men in there. People might stare, but probably more out of curiosity. You'll be fine basically.
Thanks for the responses. I figured interracial relationships would be as normal in D.C. as any metro area, but I was a bit worried that the reaction would be more like what we've experienced in places further down the coast. Reassuring that static is unlikely.
And yeah, the yuppie suburbs are off the list anyway. NE D.C./PGC seem more likely at this point for a variety of reasons, money being not the least of them.
The quick devolution (debasement?) of the thread below got me curious about something.
I'm moving to D.C. in a few months with my long-time girlfriend. We are an interracial couple (black woman/white man). Each of us comes from cultures and areas (Latin/Caribbean and Northeastern city/South Florida) where seeing people of different races together, in public, in a relationship, is normal and generally accepted. However in other parts of the country, we've come to find, there is a lot of hostility, and it's not unusual for people to express their distaste in both subtle and overt ways.
What's the deal in D.C.? Obviously it's a broad question, but for those who have some experience, is D.C. more like NY/NJ/Miami, or more like Atlanta/Jacksonville, when it comes to acceptance of interracial relationships? It won't influence our decision one way or another, but I'd like to know.
Nobody cares.....DC is one of the largest gay hubs in the country, do you really think they care if you date a black woman or vice versa? We ain't New York, but live and let live here in ol'e DC. Just don't root for the Ravens.....that's a No-NO!
There is a lot of Interracial dating in the DC and Northern VA area. You will be just fine.
