My son tells me that most of the white guys he knows "boycott" girls who have been thus paired off.
Again, not really hostile in a cross-burning kind of way... just indifference and not wanting to be associated.
It's a poor joke, but I overheard one of his male friends quip, "Once she's gone black, she ain't going to be able to come back."
I think that once the novelty of interracial dating wore off, many of the young ladies couldn't get a date to prom or anywhere else. Word gets out.
In a more urban environment, it can be a problem. There seems to still be a taboo against it. I remember talking to a couple who moved here because the husband (white) was getting a lot of flak for being married to a black woman.
“I think that once the novelty of interracial dating wore off, many of the young ladies couldn’t get a date to prom or anywhere else. Word gets out.”
The word that gets out is that you are getting OJ’ed.
