Since the beginning of my relationship with Said people usually talk from their asses when they find out he's Muslim, and then they completely go into "intervention" mode when they find out he's also an Olympic boxer.
Here's some of the annoying, racist things I've had to listen to:
1. Are you sure he's not going to beat you?
2. I'm so glad my boyfriend is Modern
3. Are you sure he can love you?
4. Isn't he going to be abusive?
5. Oh my God!
6. I'd be so scared if I were you
7. Is he a terrorist?
8. Wow, that's scary
9. I'd hate it if my boyfriend controlled me (says the slut who just bragged about multiple sexual encounters with multiple men)
10. He's handsome, but I wouldn't want to risk getting abused.

And that's just a few of the very shallow racist comments I usually get when I talk to someone about Said. What is most ironic to me is that my relationship has lasted 6 years and still going strong, but so many others who criticized me for my choices are single or divorced.
Lesson learned: a healthy relationship easily out weighs social expectations. A relationship should not be shamed simply for the race or religion of one of two people; it should be celebrated for being both strong and healthy.
