I found this blog by googling my own name...<BR/>I was a participant, a host, and an admissions office employee for these so called JAMA scholarship weekend... And was also dating a white, conservative, Christian male. Were there relationship problems? Duh. Anyone with vast background differences are bound to come into conflicts. Did it have anything to do with the additional $20,000 I got from CMC? No. That's like saying any scholarship program that selects students and treats them specially will ruin their relationships for the rest of college. Making such a weird statement about dating denotes either a limited understanding of either race relations, or relationships generally. (BTW, CMC made me "black" because they needed the numbers. I was unphased as long as the money remained green.)Candace Valenzuela '06noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8000540157798486294.post-44881696072746548552007-10-18T01:49:40.095-07:002007-10-18T01:49:40.095-07:00Interracial love can work but are a little harder.

Allen, it was known as BAMA/LAMA weekend (for Black and Latino alumni merit award). the students, many of whom were mixed, were often asked if they were a 'bama' or a 'lama' resulting in all kinds of silliness. just ask candace valenzuela '06 was is 50/50 and so was invited to that weekend - but invited as an african american woman or a latina? <BR/>"There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism" - teddy rooseveltAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8000540157798486294.post-28040443955761924262007-10-13T23:54:18.126-07:002007-10-13T23:54:18.126-07:00I say interracial relationship are very commen now,that's a good thing,once a friend of mine on interracialmatch.com told me that there was seldom interracisl dating when he was in collegeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
