Love truly knows no bounds: people of different races, ethnicities, and backgrounds fall in love every day, even when they don’t speak each other’s language. In Canada, for example, 7% of married or committed couples are mixed. In the U.S., the share of college students entering interracial relationships is higher than ever.
Nevertheless, people still experience racism even in romantic relationships, like this Frenchman, who recently shared his story online. After his girlfriend made a racially stereotypical remark and brushed off his reaction, he started reconsidering their entire relationship.
