Andrea Espinoza, ‘11, remembers living in New York City, where she once witnessed a black man walking with a white woman. For three blocks, every single black woman stared at him. She said it wasn’t uncommon for strangers to yell at or even chase couples down the street.
Espinoza’s story was one of many told on Sunday, when dozens of students came together to discuss interracial dating at the UMOJA house.

Although attitudes surrounding intercultural and interracial dating may have improved in recent years, there are still hardships that many have to face in choosing their partners.

Elizabeth Warren, Intercultural Specialist at the MCC, said that people should discuss highly personal issues more often. “We are in a place in our world and culture where we need to create a space for open dialogue,” she said. During the dialogue on Thursday, students discussed a variety of issues, from society’s views on interracial dating to how families put pressure on their children to date within their culture or race.
