I was gonna say that's like asking a gay person what their gay qualities are but I decided to see what happens if I simply respond with a laundry list.

Part of the reason I think I like interracial dating is because of opportunities for intersectionality, but you do have to get to a baseline agreement of values first. It can potentially offer a foundation for mutual support.
r/interracialdating u/ilikelizards57 • 10h My boyfriend said i disrespected him by saying "it must be nice to be a white man" Tonight, we were talking about the NIH cutting funding for universities and it lead eventually after 2 hours into talking about women's rights etc. I said "it must be nice to be a white man" in that defeated tone after we talked about how it's not up to women anymore to make many of the choices about our body. I really don't talk to him much about this, but I need to vent every now and then. I should also mention here, I am mixed. I have a very fortunate family life who supports me. And my dad is an immigrant who worked his ass off to make my life this way. So after I said this he got pissed off and told me never to disrespect him like that again and his life has been so much harder than mine. I do not doubt this, he had a lot of struggle growing up. I tried to explain that so never said it must be easy being him, it must be easy being economically challenged with divorced parents, etc. I just said white man. ahhthowaway927 • 9m White guy here. You need someone who can ride for you when things get tough and this fella is not going to. The tone you used makes it sound like you weren't necessarily trying to call his white privilege or maleness out but were rather referencing your own struggles and your feelings about what it would be like to be someone different. My only advice is that it can be more helpful to speak more about yourself and your own feelings and experiences rather than projecting assumptions about the experiences of others. "I have had a lot of challenges as a black woman and it feels like it would be easier as a white man..." Indeed, you don't know the struggles of others, and these are generalizations (however true they may be, generally). This approach opens up the conversation to develop about both of your experiences and starts an empathic exchange rather than making a statement. It's subtle, but sticking to speaking about…
