“The fact that, in this day and age, we get attacked for our interracial relationship is beyond sad, … it is pathetic. Yes I am white. Yes she is half black. Marrying a white man does not erase her color, and marrying a woman who is half black does not mean I am blinded. The problem isn’t pigmentation; … the problem is backwards, bigoted thought from people who should know better.”
