Check out Rachel Khona’s “Dating And Race” piece for AskMen.com. It’s chock-full of ludicrous examples from Rachel’s love life (as well as my own), all illustrating the level of ignorance that she’s encountered over the course of her dating history. Like Rachel, I’ve been mistaken for Latina (which is just … odd), and guys have made really strange assumptions about me based on my race (in her case, one starts talking to her in Punjabi, even though she grew up in New Jersey and her family isn’t from Punjab). I’m sure there are many of you who can relate all too well to our experiences.
