In 2018 Britain, do interracial couples notice people raising their eyebrows & why when they walk in public holding hands?

Traffic land

I don’t know, I’ve never been part of an interracial couple, although I suspect they may on occasion as there are still some absolute dicks about

We've just met up with our interracial friends in Corfu again, they look gorgeous together!

Not really but I have found it depends where you are in the country.

Nope, not really. My mum married someone from Libya and in 80s Devon that raised eyebrows. Not anymore thankfully x

Not in my area. Their eyebrows would be dancing to the tune of Chopsticks whenever they walked down the street.

I think it depends where you live.

There are very few black folk in Chester, and until about 2 years ago we never saw any!

So that would have raised a few eyebrows, albeit silently.

I'm not part of an interracial couple so I can't speak from personal experience, but I see a lot around and 99% of people don't seem to have an issue with it.

Depends where in the country you are.

Some parts they still get over excited at the sight of curly hair.

Yes. People do look compared to same race couples. This is from 1st hand experience.

Does it make you feel uncomfortable?

Yes it happens. Bigotry and ignorance are still very much alive and well.

Really? I live in Chester in quite a diverse area. I suppose it depends whereabouts you live?

Not really. One gets used to it, but to be honest I turn a blind eye to it. The more you think about it, the more paranoid you become.

York

To be honest whenever I see a white guy with a hot black or oriental girlfriend in York my first thought is "lucky bastard!!"

Northampton Somewhere

I had a social with a black guy a few months ago. When I arrived at the pub he was in the car park waiting. He told me he wouldn't go in because in places like that people would stop and stare at us!!!

I was quite miffed because he felt like that tbh as it's now 2018!!

Anyway we ended up going somewhere where he felt a bit more comfortable.

Most of the time I don't think people would bat an eyelid. But it's those other times that stick in the memory.

I very rarely see mixed couples in Liverpool, compared to other big cities like Brum etc.Go to "ordinary" pubs and bars in Lpool and you will rarely see a black face , I'm talking city centre not just out in the suburbs.

Mate of mine here had an Egyptian boyfriend a couple of years ago, but couldn't tell her family...crazy

Yes and no

A friend and her partner go out some places are fine and some they still get odd stares

I’d love say no mixed cpl can go an do anything but I know from experience they still get some funny looks

No, but if I did happen to have a black or Asian or blue fella covered in glitter, #youknowwhoyouare, I wouldn't give a toss if someone raised an eyebrow!

I can't speak for the fella,being seen out with a Ginger though!
