Thanks to everyone who made the panel! Here’s the blurb for those who missed it:

Asian American Awareness Week: Interracial Dating Panel
Lowell House Junior Common Room, 4:30-6:00pm

Sponsored by HAPA and SAA, this event will feature 6 discussion leaders who will share some of their experiences and reflections before we break into groups to discuss anything and everything about interracial dating.

At a school as diverse as Harvard, interracial dating is quite common. Do you think there are benefits to dating outside your race? Are their drawbacks? How do various groups within the Asian community reconcile historical or political stereotypes and prejudices with interracial dating? What will your friends and family think? Or is it not different at all? What’s the deal with “yellow fever?”

Come and discuss these questions and more while enjoying some delicious Finale’s cakes and pastries!
