Would you ?

I have been in a relationship with an Arab man for several years. I am a white American woman and when people find out about him they often ask how do I "handle" him. I don't think he is any different than a American man by any means but he is very good to me and I'm happy with him. Would you ever date a Arab man ? I don't understand why so many women seem to think they are abusive or different for some reason .
