Abstract
History has shown the progression of our country, in society’s acceptance of interracial dating. Our research primarily focused on interracial relationships between heterosexual, Caucasian-Asian couples at the University of Illinois. We asked if couples faced internal and external challenges based on race at the University of Illinois. Through interviews and surveys, we found that couples cannot be generalized into one category and that each couple’s situation is unique. While most couples seemed to experience few if any challenges, there were still a few couples and survey answers that stated otherwise.
