Like, every woman of color who is dating interracially with a white person should read it. So they understand what they are getting into and also so they can look out for warning signs.

@susiethemoderator Where did you get your copy?

The full book is called “Black Looks: Race and Representation”

Eating the other is an essay from it. I’m sure you can find it anywhere like Amazon or something

Found it in PDF format: https://de.ryerson.ca/DE_courses/uploadedFiles/6052_Arts/CSOC202/Modules/Module_00/eating%20the%20other.pdf

@mayeshaj here’s a free online PDF!

I did not mean to not include people of color who aren’t women.

Honestly, every person of color should read it. No one is saying to never date interracially. Me ,of all people, can’t say that given my dating history. I’m just giving a book suggestion to save a few hearts and minds. To protect my fellow women (and non women) of color ❤️

It’s a good read. Not boring ❤️ I’m giving it high praise.

This essay actually changed my life.
