I'm a gay white man married to a Latino man...
We live in New York City, so we don't experience much in the way of active discrimination or hostility, though every now and then we experience insensitivity that is a result of lack of exposure to different cultures; most people are willing to listen and learn though...
Recently my husband has been allowing his nephew to spend time around my family and he has family members that have a problem with that...
I have several biracial friends that are "white passing," and they have had some interesting run-ins with racism in the past, mostly from people who don't realize their talking to somebody who is half-Latino or half-Arab and making blatantly racist comments...
I knew a girl whose mother was white and her father was Arab; when she got home from school on 9/11 her mother told her to "look what [her] people did" on the news (her father was in no way affiliated with any terrorist groups and actually worked for the federal government)...



Have a nice day...
