My only thing I know about Salon is that at one point, they had a piece about how depressing it was to live in a hacker house, and I was like "wait. I lived in this exact apartment". I remembered the Pinterest guy who lived in the closet. That was slightly surreal.
Text should read "every third American couple". I dont think this applies anywhere else and has anything to do with sexuality...
Only Americans can be racist?
We don't even come close to the racism in places like Europe, either.

... maybe you should talk to some minorities from other countries. I mean people who are minorities within their own country.

As a hetero person I can say it 100% applies in Texas
This definitely applies to a good number of gay couples in Texas too. Hetero Women do have it worse in this regard though. Progressive Southern woman's options are pretty much:
A) Be celibate
B) Move somewhere else
C) Settle for the Most Racist Man Alive
Single Hetero Progressive men are unicorns in the American South, and them being Progressive is no guarantee they will treat a woman any better. They often come with their own batch of issues and a lot of them are fuckboys.
I’ll just add that to my dating profile: “I’M A NON-FUCKBOY UNICORN”
Need that shirt.
The girl is both my sister's and the guy is both my brother in laws. They married losers
What about you? Is it 2/3 or 3/3? If you're hetero that is, and in a couple. Otherwise disregard this question or answer untruthfully.
Ok but why not use the original and not the jpeged to fuck version?
Pixels? In this economy?
"I can fix him" energy
It's even worse when it's a mixed race couple!
(Source: I'm in a mixed race relationship)
So... are you the most racist man alive?
Yes, and I blame my wife for it.

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.
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..

Him being a part of every third heterosexual couple must mean he has a lot of fem presenting partners. I'm sceptical of all of them being of an ethnicity he approves of...

I think the gag is that this person reading Salon, a progressive media outlet, is a person claiming or projecting progressive values yet is dating a bigot. Progressive dating regressive.

Among Gen Z and Millennial Americans (especially the educated straight white middle class) there's been a divergence in political affiliations between men and women. But people still couple up, so hetero couples are seeing a lot more combinations of politically engaged progressive women who are in relationships with politically apathetic men (who also tend to be somewhat sexist and racist).
This comic points out that juxtaposition.
Tbf I'm not from America and I still know such couples
