I dated a black woman while in the army and my wife dated black men while she was in college. No big deal to me, but I have noticed an interesting dynamic. It's OK for whites (at least in Oregon) to date outside their race but god forbid a black or hispanic sees one of their daughters dating a white guy. My sister-in-law married a Mexican guy living in Nor-Cal but a good buddy of mine in my National Guard unit was seriously pissed about his daughter dating a non-mexican. It's kinda funny, I can't repeat what I told this guy cuz there's some serious "don't ask, don't tell implications" (guys that have been in all male combat units will probably get it) but we all had a good laugh about the double standard.

Yes, I live in South Carolina. I have black fellas talking to me all the time about white girls, but when I start talking about black girls they get hot. What is good for the goose is good for the gander.

I've had conversations with navy buddies sort of like that but it was more of those guys messing around on their wives while they would get downright hostile if their wives messed around on them.
