LoginWith Thanksgiving just around the corner, I cannot help but dwell on who might be coming to dinner. Last holiday season gave me plenty of food for thought on this all too familiar and often uncomfortable racially-tinged question. One of my male relatives brought home a date for Thanksgiving who could have been Barbie's twin sister. She was blonde, thin, big-bosomed, and even had a Germanic name. She was probably very nice; but I cannot say for sure. She was shy and didn't talk much in what was likely an unfamiliar and perhaps overwhelming African American social setting. Another of my male relatives brought home a woman for Christmas who seemed like a modern-day, socially progressive southern belle.

In a subset of one-on-one interviews with 82 Black women from across the United States, one-quarter of interviewees described experiencing social sanctions for being in a relationship with a white man.
The initial version of this paper was presented at a Philosophy Colloquium earlier this year. Despite my reservations about having this usually private discussion in a public forum, the feedback that I received was overwhelmingly positive. In follow-up conversations with professors, I was given further advice on how I might try to turn the paper into a publication.
