Casting aspersions much? The vast majority of couples I know are hetero, and not one person is like either of these caricatures. Let’s not pretend sexual preference has anything to do with these stereotypes. It’s more likely to be the culture or social system you are familiar with.
queers are a lot less likely to do this shit though. for various reasons, many of them based around a much clearer self interest rather than some innate superiority. not that we aren’t also innately superior to the hets.
i have known racist queers but they aren’t hateful with their racism. i think it’s the hateful part that makes it different. one guy I am thinking about is black and prefers white guy partners. He will go off on all his lovers with different people and he just admits his preference is racist but he doesn’t talk bad about other races.
part of it is that straight cis and especially white men were targeted by nazi radicalization pipelines starting really hard in the 00’s on every major algorithm driven media platform, social and otherwise. queers mostly dodged that, partially because the character of modern racism tends to be paired with homophobia, and you can’t really nourish that socially without catching a lot of shit for being queer, but also because it just wasn’t targeted at us. they wanted little reinhardt heidrichs, not little ernst rohms, especially because the nazis had been working to recruit evangenlical christians for decades. evangelical christians: anti quer first, racist second. being racist and queer must be so fucking disempowering.
but also, we’re more resistant to it. part of the experience of being queer is stepping outside of norms, and to whatever degree swimming against the current, opting into a more marginal difficult position because it’s right/feels good/lets you genuinely survive without fucking killing yourself. and all of that makes being an open bigot a lot harder. not impossible, but harder. plus, we tend to be farther left politically because the conservative edifice of the nuclear family as nucleus of society has historically excluded a lot of us from society, and pushing that shit on someone who you want to fuck whose family threw them out is not a good way to get laid, even if yours was cool about it.
there’s also that genocide the american christofascists did to us within living memory. some people are still kinda bitter about that. many of the institutions and social forms we created to cope are still kicking around.

This means YOU are the third couple of course /j
You got it!
Are you claiming to know a representative set of Americans, and 1/3 of that representative set is not racist?
I think you’re suffering from selection bias…
