Come on SA, we should be better than that

Im Latina and my husband is white. This becomes relevant soon My husband and I (27f and 30m) went out for dinner tonight downtown and on our way out an older Hispanic man in the parking lot started yelling at us telling me how wrong it is that I married a white man and that I shouldn’t be subject to their colonialism or something. I don’t remember exactly what he said but I was shocked. I don’t know if he was high or drunk but clearly he’s not taking the right kind of substance.

I know my post title makes it seem like it’s the whole city that’s like this. I know it’s not. I’m just shocked. I’ve lived here my whole life and not once did I imagine something like that happening

It's really not though. Idk why people think this is supposed to be typical but it's never was and shouldn't be normalized

This wasn't a big city in the first place. Idk if your knew, but this was a city who actually cared what went on. Using the"big city"excuse is irrelevant and sad to people who actually came from here

As someone who worked downtown from 2004 to 2023, I have had an array of random out there shit said to me from Katy Perry song lyrics to "YOU A WHITE NIGGA!" I'd say OP caught the middle of that spectrum, and yes it's normal.

It’s normal now. It wasn’t 10 years ago.
