I'd say those two fools are people with serious self hate issues before I'd say they are examples of what people are okay with in interracial dating.
I knew what time it was when the guy in the article couldn't explain business/business casual wear and casual/streetwear (which just about anyone that works an office job or job with a dress code has in their closet) any better than Don Lemon and 50 Cent.
Ol' girl seems like she might not be comfortable with her image in normal circumstances, let alone around someone who isn't black.
It's completely possible to date interracially, have self respect, and be able to make it clear to your significant other that they need to respect your heritage and culture. Those two clearly haven't learned that yet.
