I side eye men who date outside of their race but marry someone of the same race, especially if their dating history indicates preference of dating outside their race. From personal experience and being a WOC in the US, a lot of men like to date outside of their race because they like/want the culture and community they aren't a part of.
But when it's time to be "serious" they get back in line and marry someone from a similar background so they can go back to living comfortably in familiar territory.

And it's not just white dudes dating black women. IME I knew guys who broke up with their high school/college sweetheart because they knew it'd be easier to find someone with a similar background to get their parents' approval.
For me, it shows to me that a lot of guys see romantic relationships as opportunity more than compatibility.

Like, yeah, maybe there is real love or a genuine compatibility between Travis and Taylor, but there are a lot of things at play that people don't know or talk about because it's something they never really have to contend with.
But it's real and IMO if you've never dealt with this I can't imagine you recognizing and understanding what it's like. A lot of people who move in the world in this way don't care how it hurts others and how it upholds fucked up systems.

I commend Secret OP for this secret because talking about interracial dating/coupling is loaded. People individualize an issue that is more societal/cultural, so they place all the responsibility on the person who brought up the issue. And it's usually "well too fucking bad, now shut up and go away."
