Chapter 8 makes a strong argument for interracial relationships. It states that there has been much research on interracial couples that counters the popular notion that partners may be less satisfied in their relationships due to cultural differences. In fact, relational satisfaction isn’t significantly different for interracial partners, although the challenges they may face in finding acceptance from other people could lead to stressors that are not as strong for intercultural partners. Although partners in interracial relationships certainly face challenges, there are positives. For example, some mention that they’ve experienced personal growth by learning about their partner’s cultural background, which helps them gain alternative perspectives. Specifically, white people in interracial relationships have cited an awareness of and empathy for racism that still exists, which they may not have been aware of before. Considering this, respond to the following questions:Describe an interracial/intercultural relationship you are familiar with?Did they have issues?What were their challenges?How did they overcome them?Remember to cite your text using APA style.
