It was odd\u2013tons of famous straight athletes are dating interracially as well, so much so that it\u2019s practically the norm. And of course why not? This is reflective of the world of young athletes. They are living smack in the middle of the country\u2019s first generation of a minority-majority rule. Why not embrace a kind of racial fluidity when it comes to dating, just like we defy boundaries in the rest of our lives?<\/p>\n<p><strong>So, in the immortal words of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.queerty.com\/tag\/hillary-clinton\">Hillary Clinton<\/a> I ask, \u201cWhat difference does it make?\u201d <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>OK, I\u2019m not that na\u00efve to believe interracial dating should go unnoticed.

In 2017, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pewsocialtrends.org\/2017\/05\/18\/1-trends-and-patterns-in-intermarriage\/\">Pew<\/a> research found the amount of straight Black folks marrying interracially is increasing.

And on top of all of that, white supremacy and this heteronormative, oppressive Trump-<a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/www.flirt4free.com\/live\/girls\/?mp_code=akftr\">ass<\/a> world we <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=grq0&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">live<\/a> in has done a number on all. Sexual racism on dating apps (\u201cNo blacks, no Asians\u201d) doesn\u2019t help either, <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/www.flirt4free.com\/live\/girls\/couples\/?mp_code=akftr\">fucking<\/a> with our mental health.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.queerty.com\/newly-nfl-player-ryan-russell-posts-love-poem-boyfriend-wow-20190903\">Newly out NFL player Ryan Russell posts love poem to boyfriend and\u2026 wow<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Which is a way of saying, of course, it\u2019s possible some of us may have swallowed and internalized enough anti-blackness to impact his dating choices. But unless you psycho-analyze these folks, you aren\u2019t going to know that, so it\u2019s best to mind your own beeswax.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Thinking about this backlash Russell is facing, I\u2019m reminded of two separate conversations I had with Karamo Brown and <em>Dear White People <\/em>creator Justin Simien, whose hubby is white.<\/p>\n<p>I remember Brown telling me about the hurtful comments he receives because he\u2019s engaged to a white <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=R2Xc&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">man<\/a> and him telling me that just because he\u2019s dating interracially it doesn\u2019t mean his fears as a Black <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=R2Xc&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">man<\/a> such as discrimination and police harassment go away.<\/p>\n<p>And Simien straight up told me, \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.newnownext.com\/dear-white-people-justin-simien-gay-lionel\/04\/2018\/\">You can date a white guy and still be black as fuck<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Here\u2019s why I don\u2019t give a shit who Russell dates: It\u2019s not my story. It\u2019s not my life. It\u2019s not my truth. It\u2019s not my experience.

Kudos to anyone finding love in this hopeless place we <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=grq0&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">call<\/a> Earth.

Give me a break.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve written for years about my experience dating and have documented many of my unsavory experiences dating and having <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/www.flirt4free.com\/live\/girls\/couples\/?mp_code=akftr\">sex<\/a> with white <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=R2Xc&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">men<\/a>\u2014the fetishization and objectification, desired for fantasy and dismissed just as quickly, and the blatant, out-and-0ut racism.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>I\u2019ve seen many queer people of color share similar stories while discussing Russell\u2019s story. But I\u2019m not going to project my painful experiences onto him. Again, it\u2019s not my story. And his experiences with his partner may not mirror. And I\u2019m able to do this because I\u2019ve done the work on myself and healed the wounds and trauma I\u2019ve experienced.<\/p>\n<p>My advice to people criticizing Russell or Porter or Cox or whatever Shaun T\u2019s last name is: heal yourself. Heal your heart so it can know love when it sees it and instead of shutting its door thinking love is a stranger.<\/p>\n<div>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/queerty2?a=HOhuuJwvWwo:Bn7EMt5XfKE:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/queerty2?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/queerty2?a=HOhuuJwvWwo:Bn7EMt5XfKE:dnMXMwOfBR0\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/queerty2?d=dnMXMwOfBR0\" border=\"0\"><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.queerty.com\/gays-still-shaming-interracial-dating-wtf-20190914?utm_source=feedburner&#038;utm_medium=feed&#038;utm_campaign=Feed%3A+queerty2+%28Queerty%29\" class=\"autohyperlink\">www.queerty.com\/gays-still-shaming-interracial-dating-wtf-20190914?utm_source=feedburner&#038;utm_medium=feed&#038;utm_campaign=Feed%3A+queerty2+%28Queerty%29<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gays are still shaming interracial dating.
