It's been so strange. Very few looks from older whites, which surprised me. My family lives in both the north Georgia mountains and the West Georgia (30 minutes from Alabama) suburbs.
In Atlanta, we've gotten people who stop us to smile and have a feel good moment since we're a walking example of the disintegration of racism. But we've also had black males eyeing us angrily as if I "stole" a member of their race, or that she's jumped ship.
So strange, and I'm really interested to see what social situations our child is put in.
Also, Marcus, yes. It WAS that rare, except in the north, which has far less of a difference. Also worthy of noting, there are far less interracial couples in NYC because the city is somewhat segregated. There are mostly whites in Manhattan and Brooklyn closer to the Hudson River, while Harlem and Bedford Stuy is predominantly black. This is slowly changing, but odd for a city as mixed as NYC.
