I started to notice that, at times, it seemed that no IRC faces quite the same kind of scrutiny as white man/black woman (this may be colored—hehe—by my personal experience, but I’m sticking with it)—not even black man/white woman couplings. Of course, folks will run through the tried-and-true greatest hits album of racism (Mandingo myth, rebelling against one’s parental units, etc.), but with WM/BW, in addition to the racist snark, there’s also, a lot of times, confusion.
