I’m Black, and my partner is a non-Black white latino. I feel like a lot of recurring conflicts arise from tone policing, and reading my expressions and words with a negative bias, (i.e. the tendency to read neutral Black facial expressions as mean or angry vs. reading them as actually neutral on a white person) generally reading me in a skewed negative light. they can be very defensive and also view their perception of me as objective, so I’m hoping for some starting points that feel friendly and approachable.
