Dating difficult in

In my dating life, I have dated both Latino and white men, and both experiences were very different.įirst, there is the problem of getting the family to accept you, especially in the case of a white person and POC dating. The societal disapproval can be really discouraging thing for interracial couples.Īs a Mexican living in the United States, I have experienced these obstacles firsthand. The media has also been guilty of imposing negative stereotypes on them.Īlthough progressive societies are becoming more accepting, people’s mentalities change more slowly now - this makes them less likely to accept interracial dating and even discourage it.

In spite of this trend, interracial couples continue to be stigmatized. More than 10 percent of American couples are interracial as of 2016, according to the U.S. As the world becomes more global, interracial couples have become more common.
