Interracial couple harassment



Taye Diggs and his Tony award winning wife Idina Menzel have been getting harassed lately.

Diggs, 34, swapped vows with Menzel, 33, in January 2003. The native New Yorkers first met in 1996 when they costarred together in the Broadway smash Rent.

Authorities do not yet have a suspect, but it's believed that more than one person was responsible for the notes. Investigators are trying to trace the letters, which were postmarked from three different locations: New York City, Philadelphia and a town in Ohio.

This is the line that makes me think it's a black woman at the bottom of this:

Diggs, meanwhile, is in Canada shooting a movie.

Or maybe it's the people that were behind this.

Why does do interracial couples offend people? Afterall aren't we in the year 2004? It's not like getting married to person of another race is against the law.

You're crazy to even try to compare.
