Relationships are hard, and they can be even harder when you’re dating someone who is a different race than you.Interracial couples have been stared at while in public and dealt with rude comments from strangers about their relationship. Only forty-four years ago interracial relationships were made legal throughout the country, and it’s more common for people to marry outside of their race. The growth of interracial relationships coincides with changes in the legality of them and what some would consider, changing of negative perceptions towards people in interracial relationships. Even though more people are changing perceptions there are still some with mostly negative attitudes towards interracial relationships.

Interracial couples stated that they face discrimination from members of their own race and their lives are greatly changed by their decision to date outside of their race. People who date outside of their race sometimes face the loss of close friends. Couples are appalled by…

I am very passionate about my hate for any sort of fooling around while in a relationship. From personal experience and countless stories, cheaters are the scum of the Earth. So all the anger and frustration I had from reading the short play, followed me into the small black box theatre. I arrived at around 7:15 PM, the usherette greeted me with a…

There is no direct solution for these problems due to the fact that every interracial couple and family deal with their problems differently, which means they are more likely to find each solution that works for them. Not all solutions can work for all of us however, that does not mean that the possible solutions I provided in this section would not be accomplished. First, the counselors should establish as many possible goals as necessary for their clients to pursue. Establishing goals help a…

It is sad and emotional to see a man being depicted as a national hero to die. The way Zinn ends his first chapter is also in a benevolent way, but with a dark undertone. Zinn discusses how Indian society worked and interacted with each other before the introduction of Europeans. Zinn tells how the Indian people were peaceful…

European exploration began with the desire for trade and to spread religion. Finding the Indians offered them the chance to do both.
