Anjou:
But do women of color like the thicc white boys more than ever...
Munchies:
I'm a WOC with a thick white boy.
I love him. I love his thickness. We are indifferent about each other's race. You know as it should be. To me, he is a man who happens to be white. My feelings for him wouldn't change if he were of another race.
He understands that I go through things that he can never understand. But he is supportive and listens to me when I talk about my struggles.
We aren't the "I don't see race" type of people. We do. Instead, we see our personhood first and our races second.
I am curious as to what sparked this question. Mixed-race couples have always been a thing. Yes, some decades ago, it would have been illegal. But it's no longer taboo. If anything, it's become mundane.
Etiola:
My parents are mixed races. I too see ethnicity, but I'm also a person first type of person. I'm autistic, and most of us are like this
Girl saaaaaame
It's not just an autism thing. I know a lot of people - of all races - who are like this and not on the spectrum. People are people, but it's impossible to ignore race. One might argue this is the most usual approach to this situation.
Race is a social construct. Some people interpret this as race being fake or not real. Neither of these things are true. Race is real. It's not bad. It's a neutral thing like gender or nationality. To deny its existence is as silly as denying people come in different shapes and sizes.
Yes, it impacts daily living. Yes, you can see it. But it's one of many elements that make up a person.
