My husband is Irish and I’m an African-American woman. Even in the diverse neighborhood where we live, we sometimes get not-so-subtle hints that we are breaking an unspoken rule simply by being together.
We’ll walk into a restaurant, laughing and chatting. No one else is behind us. The host asks, “How many?” Or, at the grocery store, we’ll work side by side, sliding fruits and vegetables along the conveyor belt. The cashier looks at us, puzzled, until I say, “We’re together.”
Do these things happen to all couples, or is it all in my head? Even asking that question is part of the reality of being part of an interracial couple or family. My parents are also an interracial couple, and we rarely talked about race. I have realized it’s good to talk these things out, and acknowledge what’s happening.
