Most people, when they find that out, go straight to the “I’m a creep/She wants a green card” duality.

Pro-tip. When someone says something like that just stare at them. When they start getting nervous and ask you a question like “what?” coldly ask them to repeat what they just said and perhaps elaborate on it. Keep starring even after they backoff or apologize. Keep it up until they walk away.

No one will ever question your love again because people are fucking cowards and bigots are even more cowardly than most.
