The
Center
for
Campus
Involvement
hosted
a
conversation
Monday
night
on
professional,
casual
and
romantic
interracial
relationships as a part of their
Hot Topic Series. The event was
entitled “Unpacking Interracial
Relationships”.
CCI
began
the series using the funding
they received from a Diversity,
Equity and Inclusion grant they
received to encourage open
discussions
about
common
issues in the University of
Michigan community.
LSA
junior
Sunanda
Adibhatla,
DEI
program
coordinator for CCI and the
event’s discussion facilitator,
said she hopes the conversation
will lead to ideas on how to
eliminate stigmas surrounding

minority groups.“
There’s still a lot of tension
with
people
of
different
backgrounds,” Adibhatla said.
“And we have some sort of
subconscious biases towards
how we interact with people.
And the question is, how do
we eradicate that or at least
become aware of it? ”CCI
program advisor Jamie Alt
said she hoped the event would
open students’ minds and lead
to further conversation about
interracial relationships.“
To be able to expand people’s
minds about topics that are
sometimes really challenging
or give people a sense of fear
that they can’t talk about that
because of their identity or
something,” Alt said. “So just
trying to break those barriers
about what it means to talk
about topics that are around
diversity, equity and inclusion.”

Attendees
began
by
discussing their own identities
and how they handle meeting
new people.LSA junior Divya
Gumudavelly said she thinks
about the impact stereotypes
have on people’s perceptions
of
her.“Regardless
of
who
you are or where you come
from, everyone already has
a preconception of what you
might be like based on what
they see initially.” Gumudavelly
said. “When I introduce myself,
even if it is just saying my name
correctly or people are like, ‘Oh
your last name is really hard,’
just sort of breaking what sort
of conceptions people have of
me and to get to know me and
not go off stereotypes.”
Alt
responded
by
highlighting
the difference between her and
Gumudavelly’s
experiences.
She said she does not consider
generalizations people might
think about her when
they first meet.
“I don’t ever think
about a stereotype when
I meet someone,” Alt said.
“But that’s probably a lot
of my privilege as a white
woman from this country,
that I just want people to
think, ‘Oh she was nice.’”
Rackham
student
Ismael
El-Tayuddin
discussed the importance
of
having
interracial
relationships
and
interacting with people
from all different cultures
and
backgrounds.
He
suggested talking with
a
close
friend
about
their culture to properly
understand it and then
bring this new knowledge
to all future experiences.
“I think it helps also to
learn about other cultures
by proxy,” El-Tayuddin
said. “So if you have
someone that you feel
comfortable talking about
issues with … you can get

more information from them so
when you do go out and interact
with other people, you kind of
know how to keep appropriate
boundaries, what to say and not
to say and how to be respectful
towards other people.”
Adibhatla then discussed the
gap in understanding different
cultures between generations
and how someone’s ethnicity is
not the same as their beliefs.
“I think it is a misconception
with older generations and
with people here that values
equate to culture which equates
to race,” Adibhatla said. “You
can find someone who has the
same background as you and
the same family traditions but
has completely different morals
than you.”
The event concluded by
discussing what steps should be
taken moving forward to reduce
stereotypes and to increase
open-mindedness on campus.
El-Tayuddin
said
minority
groups are used to interacting
with other cultures and having
interracial relationships. He
called on white people to make
the first move and step outside
of their comfort zones.
“I always hear how American
culture
is
the
dominant
culture,”
El-Tayuddin
said.
“Our (minority groups) whole
lives, we’re used to navigating
that system and interacting
with this mainstream culture,
and then we go home and
have this culture in our house.
We’re already bicultural. But
they’re (white people) in a
space where they dominate the
culture and they’re not used to
having to do something that
is uncomfortable for them or
understand someone else. So I
feel like it’s not really on me. I
think it has to be more of a step
on their part.”
