Interracial relationships in America are very different than those abroad, and Ebony's arts and culture editor, Miles Marshall Lewis, reflects on his time in Paris and what he learned about their cultural intersection.
"Thoughts about mixed couples are different in the U.S.," I explained once the performances finished. "Black women look at Black guys choosing White girls and think they have a problem with blackness, or they're scared of Black women, or they think they're too good for sisters."
What makes the real difference is that we're growing up together, so we're going to learn the other person's culture, and maybe enjoy the person for who they are."
