Interracial Dating is a reoccurring scene on and off campus at Independent, predominantly white schools. While some people of color are breaking barriers by dating females of a different races, judgments are often made by their peers. As an ABC Scholar, I have seen that love has no boundaries.
A part of the minority at an Independent School, you shouldn't feel obligated to only like and or date someone of the same race. The possibilities of love are endless, so what's stopping you from giving someone else a chance? If you're afraid of “selling out” then I think you should re-evaluate your reasoning behind attending an Independent school. By choosing to attend a school where you are considered the minority, you have accepted diversity in all ways. Then again, you’re not at school to fall in love; you don’t have to be in a relationship at all.
