Default Interracial relationships - pleasing up the race ladder
The focus of this thread is mainly on non-whites that have a white partner. But of course, everyone is welcome to chime in.

I believe that when people are in an interracial relationship, there is a disparity between them, in terms of the value their respective race has. The closer the people are racially, the less disparity, the further away the more. Because of this disparity, the less-white party has to make up for it by bringing more to the table. This time, I'm not talking about an initial dowry or anything like that, but what you bring in everyday life. To be concrete: appreciating your partner, bringing them gifts, complimenting, making them a nice dinner, putting up with stuff, etc.

To me it seems, that this is all fine and dandy as long as both of the parties are non-White (for instance a Black and a Latino). But as soon as one of the parties is White and the other non-white difficulties arise. White people are simply very different from every other race and are hence very hard to please for a non-white. What I'm saying is that a White person does not perceive "normal" everyday pleasing like gifts and the other things I mentioned above the same way a non-White does.

So the question is, basically: How do you please a White partner in everyday life?
