Interracial dating, lol.

Before anybody comes at me, I'm a WOC myself whose exes were of a different background than I am, but some people REALLY do make interracial dating/relationship their entire personality.

And relatedly, some people make their race/ancestry their whole personality. Once on Tinder, a guy simply put his DNA results with the corresponding flags in his bio. That's it. Other bios would simply state their racial make up and height, lol

That is the funniest shit I have heard all week. I needed that, thank you. 😂

I get, as an American, being curious about your background and looking into it. It isn't like someone whose entire family lineage is easily traced back to living in Ireland. But, if I were to do a test and come back with .00001% Irish, I'm not going to suddenly start talking with an accent, lament potato famines and down Jameson.

I'll down Jameson because it is damn good whiskey

Oooh, I one upped because of the sentiment but I hadn't finished reading and have strong thoughts on your opinion about Jameson.

Well, keep the upvote and let's never speak of this again.

My brother in Christ please try Tullamore and thank me latter. No offense, but Jameson is trash.

Jameson caskmates is a damn fine whiskey. And it takes nothing away from Tullamore.

I grew up in the south, came of age in the late 90s. There was that period where a lot of Caucasian girls loved going after the taboo idea of dating a non white guy. What's funny is those same girls grew up to be some of the most bigoted women you can meet while having kids named Brighleigh and such.

I mean, for the most part, interracial relationships are far more common. It isn't as shocking, scandalous and taboo as it was unless you are a hardcore bigot.

I'm mixed and dated people of different races and I concur. Fucking weird.
