A few months I put up a post about the liberal racist attacks on Ted Cruz. Well, those rascals are up to it again, but it's OK because it's a Fox News reporter and his wife who are the targets of the attacks.
Fox News reporter Adam Housley has some harsh words for those who levy racially-charged insults at him and his wife Tamera Mowry over their interracial marriage.Earlier today we reported on OWNs special interview with TV star Mowry, in which she tearfully recounted being called a white mans whore, among other slurs. Speaking with TVNewser, Housley excoriated those who wish to cut down their relationship.
The fact that in this day and age, we get attacked for our interracial relationship is beyond sad it is pathetic, he said. 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 isnt pigmentation the problem is backwards, bigoted thought from people who should know better.
The pair have faced plenty of backlash on social media for their marriage, largely focusing on their interracial relationship, but also for Housleys time spent as a reporter for Fox News. The couple have been married since 2011 and welcomed a son in 2012.
Here's the interview with Oprah (via Mediaite)

Michelle Malkin adds more:
Horrific? Yes. Shocking? Not at all. What Mowry experienced is just a small taste of what the intolerance mob dishes out against people "of color" who love, think and live the "wrong" way. I've grown so used to it that I often forget how hurtful it can be. Mowry's candor was moving and admirable. It's also a valuable teachable moment about how dehumanizing it can be to work in the public eye. Have we really sunk to this?Young actresses in the 21st century forced to defend their love lives because their marital choices are politically incorrect? We're leaning backward in the regressive Age of Hope and Change.
Why yes, Michelle, we have sunk that low. More correctly, THEY have sunk that low. This would be absolutely ubiquitous in the liberal media had the invective been spit by conservatives.
Malkin reminds us of similar incidents:

A sad commentary on liberalism. However, when you look at the number of black male athletes who marry blond, white women, you have to wonder if they are being given a “pass” re racial slur comments, while other conservatives like Justice Clarence Thomas are attacked for having a “white” wife.
I guess George Orwell could have written, “All racists are equal but some racists are less guilty than others”.
What a beautiful couple!
The “Progressives” can’t help themselves when it comes to tearing down everything beautiful.
I have over the years received a few negative comments about having a Chinese wife. All were from progressive women who made statements like.
“You wanted an Asian wife because you are a chauvinist and Asian women are more submissive”
These hags obviously have no clue about Asian women if they think they are submissive.
So I am a bigot for having non-Caucasian wife.
LOL... Asian women are submissive? Maybe in some strange fantasy world, but not this one.
Of course if Tamera would have married a white WOMAN, she would have been heralded is courageous and strong.
Hmmm yoko ono is no shy woman. wonder where she is from.
Did any racist liberals call Barry a black woman’s whore? Same situation.
I would add that much of the criticism is probably coming from black women
