So my SO is African American and I am half-European and half-Middle Eastern. (German and Afgani) but I'm pasty white. This is my first interracial relationship but I'm noticing a lot of hate. I'm confused because I actually do my best to defend those who are being discriminated against and I am trying to take legal actions and petition and much more for equality... but his family sees me as... well, the "oppressor of their people," to use their words. I understand the historical and statistical facts of their words— even as I advocate for equality I realize white privilege— but I do want them to like me. How do I cope emotionally? My parents love my SO more than anything and I want to do my part in completing the circle
