(12:02) The Survey.

We wanted to gauge how people felt about interracial relationships in 2018 so we asked 13 people of varying ethnicities and genders the exact same set of 8 questions. We attempted to not deviate from the predetermined questions or interact in order to avoid influencing the answers; there were some exceptions. What we learned was that though interracial dating is widely accepted, not everyone is as accepting as we thought, though many were.

The questions we asked everyone are as follows:

  1. When you hear the term Racial Integrity, what comes to mind?
  2. When you hear the word interracial, what is the first thing that comes to mind?
  3. Do you agree with interracial dating/relationships? Why or why not?

    3a. If one party is multiracial, does that change anything?
  4. Have you ever been in an interracial relationship?

    4a. If yes, is or was the experience noticeably different than a relationship with someone of the same race? (elaborate)

    4b. If no, is it by choice?
  5. Do you think people dating outside of their race would benefit by expanding their cultural understanding and fluency? Or do you think it'd have an opposite effect (e.g. black folks trying to be less "ethnic")?
  6. If you were to bring someone from another race “home,” what would your family’s reaction be? Would there be whispers? If so, what would they be?

    6a. What would your reaction be if your son or daughter brought home someone of another race?
  7. What do you think about black folks being called "sellouts?" (for dating outside of their race)
  8. Any other thoughts?
