I just do the internal shoulder shrug and walk on by. I am not particularly concerned with who random people date or their reasons for doing so.
Has anyone else noticed this?

i agree, and i think it happens with BM/WW as much as the other way around. just my experience. i just dont even look their way anymore.
one of my friends from college (a white man, gay at that) and i used to walk all over the village hand in hand just to see people's reaction. the "dirty looks" ALWAYS from black men. one dude screamed across the dining area of a freaking McDonalds "What the f***, that's how it is?"
and in another funny incident, we went to a bar and a bunch of older white women sized us up, and my friend approaches them. one of them says "well i guess ive seen it all." he says "yeah, you know how us gay white men from connecticut love our sassy black new york women!"
to which the WW replied, "well... youre better off staying with her than one of... them."
definitely one of those
moments.
