You can be as disarming and charming as you want, but when your time is up as a person of color, it’s up.Lewis: If you love someone, then their race shouldn’t matter. If anything, our interracial bond makes us and our family unique. We view ourselves as husband and wife. Others should view us no differently. Alina: Jordan’s family is amazing. They are so wonderful and accepting. My parents are very out-there hippies and radicals, and we grew up going to protests and demonstrations. I kid around about this, but my parents would have been more pissed if I brought home a banker from Goldman Sachs. They were like, “Great, it’s Jordan.” Growing up in Texas, I have a Spidey sense, a tingle where I can tell what a situation is. I know how to take white people in every one of their moods. I am married to one. I grew up with them. I am not saying that is going to guarantee 100% that I’ll be safe all of the time, but I have the tools to walk in this world a lot more safely because of that. His girlfriend Gabi thinks that age plays a big role, adding that with each younger generation there's less reservation towards interracial love: "I think my parents' generation, it was a bit different. And definitely my grandparents' generation. But I just don't understand apartheid. How was that even a thing? … That mindset and everything, it's very hard for me to relate to that."

Mingler Melissa: I think that part of what initially attracted us to each other and what has sustained us through all of these years is our shared fundamental core values and the similar lenses through which we see the world. Yes, marriage is tough. But the challenges we deal with as a couple most often have more to do with the differences between our genders than the differences between our races—that is a completely different ball of wax.For Brolin Meyer, however, there are really no questions that need to be answered when it comes to his relationship with his boyfriend Dries: "You can't not see race. But you don't have to make a big deal of it. SELF: What are some of the cultural differences that you have noticed in your relationship? How do you navigate them? My family were obviously a bit shook, I guess. Because they were like, 'Oh? You're bringing home a white girl?' At the moment, that's kind of what is expected if you bring home someone of a different race," said Tshepo. Melissa: Some of our son’s classmates have told him that he is not Chinese because of the way he looks and because he does not speak or understand fluent Chinese. We use these hurtful comments and experiences as teachable moments for our children.

Melissa: By design, we have chosen to live, work, and raise our children in two very diverse cities where people tend to be less homogenous not only in terms of race, ethnicity, and sexual orientation but also in ways of thinking and living. We can’t speak for all of America, but being in an interracial relationship has never defined us, and thankfully, to date, it has not hugely impacted our day-to-day lives. The biggest impact for us is balancing our innate duty as parents to protect and shield our children as much as possible with the equally important responsibility to educate them about the many harsh realities that exist today and that sadly have been perpetuated for far too long, especially in America. For us, it is imperative for our children to be proud of who they are and where they came from. Darrell: My family is having a hard time coming to terms with it all. They are extremely religious and traditional, so when I came out, it definitely took a toll on our relationship, and is still ongoing.

I’ve been going to the barber since I was 13 or 14 years old. That’s part of the experience, as we like to say. That’s where people discuss these issues. I wish there were more outlets like that.

I think I have the upper hand. Jokes aside, I couldn’t ask for a better mate. Alina grew up demographically more culturally enriched than I did. She was one of the only white children in her grammar school. I really think that diversity offers a certain kind of intellect. Alina: I do think I sometimes forget to ask how he’s doing or to always remember what it’s like to move through the world as him, which I will never fully understand. One night when New York was under curfew we hadn’t walked the dog yet, and it was after 8 p.m. Jordan was like, “No, you walk the dog.” I forget, right? Because I move through the world in a much different way. I’ve never worried much about him out in the world because he grew up in a white world and because he is very disarming for everyone. But in the last couple of weeks, really thinking about how all of that wouldn’t be enough is a little scary.
