my experience tends to be large social groups where some people are in IR's and some arent and the discussion pops up about relationships in general.

...or maybe the fellas are out or its bar talk and the discussiln pops up.

its just talking, i dont think anyone has ever told someone to stfu when giving their opinion but its moreso on the lines of "you wouldnt know because you havent experienced it"

people are free to give opinions whether right or wrong, it shouldnt stop someone from enjoying their mate unless they have some issues they havent addressed.

I'm from Western PA, toxic interracial relationship capital of the original 13 colonies. I have witnessed an amazing amount of ignorance disguised as "love" was used to justify some messy shit.
