    I can definitely identify with your quest and with some of the responses because I am a ‘European American’ male married to an ‘African-American’ woman in the Carolinas. We have lived in both North and South Carolina, and yes, we do receive our share of stares. We love the Carolinas and want to continue living here. And while the stares may be a bit uncomfortable at times, they usually don’t seem dangerous. But we realize, too, that there seems to be a sort of ‘time warp’ when we go out into the more rural sections, and for that reason, would never consider living there. My advice would be to live where you want most to live, because [if you choose to be in an interracial relationship, you will even get stares at times in places like Disney World or Washington, D.C., but you will also be testifying to the world that we are all just people who really need to get along as though there were no skin pigmentation differences.
