Please rethink your opinion that ‘the only white women who go in for that sort of thing are fat, white-trash cows.’ My closest white girlfriend is married to a black man. I would not classify her in that manner, as she is beautiful, generous and loving, and has a well-kept house along with a full-time job and their new baby. He is a wonderful man who supports and loves his wife and child, and their marriage is a positive example for ANY couple.
My husband and I met this couple through church. It has been a blessing to know them as people, not as an ‘interracial couple.’ I would hope that you get to meet some exceptional people like my friends who open your eyes to the fact that your opinions are not always reality.

I was glad to see you wrote ‘most’ and note ‘all,’ so that you understand ‘we’re’ not all like that, and that a lot of us do have open minds and hearts. I’d rather that was the accepted norm everywhere, and that the women you experienced negative relationships with were so few and far between that your experiences had been more positive all along. Unfortunately, the qualities you mention can be found almost anywhere. As background, I’ve had all colors of sorority sisters, friends and coworkers. My parents did a pretty good job of raising my siblings and me to choose friends based on their values, sense of humor, hobbies in common, etc., and not anything physical. My closest friend in high school was a black male, and his sister was like a big sister to me. I have been blessed to have her in my life. I don’t think I’ve got all the qualities you’ve experienced, and it hurts to think that you might assume that without getting to know me simply because I’m white. I type all of this with the hopes that you don’t close off avenues that might lead to close friendships. I wish you the best.

In college I joined a sorority because I felt like I was missing out on ‘girl time,’ as most of my close friends were guys. It was one of the best things I did. However, with girls who weren’t in my sorority, I still had the same issues. Things changed dramatically once I met my husband. I don’t know if my attitude changed or others’ did. I now have more close girlfriends than guy friends in our new ‘home town.’ Maybe once the competition is gone, you can be who you ‘really are’?
