What was *********** dating like back in the 1980s?

Westerner asked:

I was born in the late ’80s so I wouldn’t know. What was it like dating interracially back in the 1980s? Was it different from today or the same?
I was born in 1988.
No too young.

sure there was…but it’s a lot more acceptable today then it was then.
Racism has reduced significantly with each new generation.

A little less acceptable, but you are very young. The 80′s!

I just wasn’t acceptable… the white people hated it and the black people hated it and it caused a lot of trouble.. and still does. Mixed race couples may not have heard remarks about them, but the stares, glares and hatred in the looks or other people was unmistakable

It was actually less of a big deal back in the 80s. Back when black people actually called themselves black. Hell, I dated a black woman back in 1985. The difference now is that more *********** couples actually take the relationship toward marriage.

Today, though, we have a lot more *********** tension. I’ve especially seen “women of color” raise a big stink over black males dating white or asian women.

Well I was born in 1983 and I didn’t get involved in an *********** relationship until the early 2000′s but I’d say it probably wasn’t too much different than today even though I’m sure people in general were a little less accepting. Unfortunately, ignorance is very slow to die.

It wasn’t really that much different than it is now. It was more frowned upon but people still did it.

I have two bi-racial daughter’s one born in 1975 and the other born in 1979. *********** dating was just starting to be accepted in the mid 70′s to early 80′s. So how it was treated depended a lot on where you lived in the States. Here in NY we didn’t have much problems but I think that a lot of that came from the fact that I’m a light skin Black woman and if you didn’t know better might think that I was White. And since our daughters are also light skinned if you didn’t know us you would know that they were bi-racial. I had more problems when my sister in laws who are both brown skinned women took my girls with them, people would assume that they were the girls nanny not their aunts. But if their father and I took them to visit his family on the Ohio-Penn. border it was something totally different. There weren’t many Black people there and his family didn’t have much interactions with People they hadn’t grown up with or lived with. So we got a lot of grief from his side of the family. But here in NY there wasn’t much of a problem. As the 80′s progressed things go better or so I thought. When I met my youngest daughter’s father who’s a brown skinned Black man, I got more grief from people thinking that I was a White woman dating a Black man than when I was a Black woman dating a White man. People have come up to my daughter who looks like me and asked her who that man she was with was and it was her father. Just because she’s light skinned and he’s not. So a lot depends on where you lived and skin color. My youngest daugther was born in 1992.

It was fine if you were a white person dating an Asian but not so if you were black and dating a white person.
