The Dangers Of Interracial Dating

Improved Essays
Interracial dating is a popular thing now that you see typically in America but is all over the world. It used to be not allowed to date outside your race but it has become quite acceptable these days, or so we think. What if people face rejection like Chris did in the famous movie “Get Out”? Not only did Chris face rejection from his girlfriend Rose parents but he also was tortured in a way. I feel that this goes on in everyday society. I feel that although people keep thoughts to themselves that they may not like the thought of there children dating outside their race. I am not saying that interracial dating is bad but there are people who believe in the old school way.
Just like those same people believe you should marry your highschool
