Some folks upset about this Old Navy ad.

17. I know so many interracial couples

and children and it's so common where I live that I can't even believe this is still an issue anywhere. Actually, I can believe it's an issue in some places...my SIL is black and my brother and her went on vacation to Mexico last year where they ran into some Americans (we are Canadian) and my brother said there was this guy that kept staring at them, so he went up to him to talk to him (and ask him why the staring) and the guy was like, "are you guys together?" my brother said, "yes, we're married." The guy was shocked, "Wow, that's crazy. That just doesn't happen where I live!" My SIL told him that it's no big deal where we come from and the guy was shocked and kept saying he couldn't believe they were together, and how weird it was. He was asking my brother if his family was upset about it. "Um, no, never." After awhile the guy kept going on and on about how he just couldn't believe they were together and my brother (who was getting pissed off) finally said to him, "Dude, get over it, it's 2015" My SIL said it was the only time she ever felt judged, and they have traveled a lot. She said this guy was from some midwestern state, but she couldn't believe that he hadn't seen an interracial couple before, it seemed just bizarre how he reacted.

My daughters have so many interracial friends and I have cousins and other family members, like it's just a non-issue...every time this comes up because of some tv ad or photo, I'm still shocked anybody is so racist as to comment on it. Effed up people.
