Interracial Dating Convention, October 14, 2011

Sept. 17, 2011 - PRLog -- Single Professionals of all ages and all races are invited to America’s First Interracial Dating Convention, Friday, October 14, 2011, at the Marriott San Mateo/San Francisco Airport, 1770 S Amphlett Blvd, San Mateo CA 94402.

    Dating expert and author Deborrah Cooper will keynote the convention. She will discuss:
•The Pros and Cons of Interracial Dating
•Dating and racial stereotypes, such as “Asian Women are Submissive” or “Black men are sexual studs”
•How U.S. media negatively impacts the romantic options of women of color
•Why Black/White interracial relationships are the most fraught with tension
•How and why Black churches keep African-American women single

    “Interracial dating is neither superior nor inferior to dating within your own race,” says Ms. Cooper. “There are advantages and disadvantages, as well as special challenges to each. People who exclusively date a different race usually have a fetish for that race, which is no less foolish than refusing to date a particular race because of unfair stereotypes.”
