Superiority Complex
Although most people don’t like to admit it, racism is still very prevalent in our society. It might not be as obvious, but it’s there. People who are in interracial relationships often encounter instances of racism more than others. One Black woman shared a certain microaggression she would often experience when dating an older white man. It’s not pretty.
White women would openly hit on this woman’s boyfriend right in front of her face. This was no mistake, either. These women would his on him even though their body language made it very clear that they were together. Subconsciously or otherwise, these white women were discrediting our storyteller’s relationship. It was almost as if these women didn’t actually believe the two of them could be in a relationship with each other.
