Love is deeper than skin color.Although this is true, society has made it difficult for a person to love whoever they want. Stereotypes and racial judgments follow bi-racial couple's every day.

As of 2010 14.6 of all new marriages in the U.S occurred between people of differing ethnicities/races. The 14.6 of new marriages is only a portion of all interracial marriages in existence today.

Teachers and students at east are doing their part to stop the negative judgments about biracial relationships.

"If two people love each other then race shouldn't matter. I believe you should find someone you love and makes you happy and accept them for who they are," teacher Mr. Aguilar, said.

Not only teachers support interracial couples, but students do as well.

"Bi-racial couples are cute because they prove that love has no color," sophomore Javier Castro, said.

Dating someone from a completely different ethnicity must have some obstacles. You have to involve each other's cultures and learn to live with their traditions.

"Once you get married you have to take each other's families and culture into consideration. It's not like when you're dating and you don't even have to meet the parents, it's a huge commitment," Dean Mr. Gamboa, said.

Of course the culture is not the only obstacle; there are many other things that interracial couples have to deal with in an everyday basis.

"I don't know why people are so judgmental, they're couple just like any other couple," sophomore Carla Manzo, said.

At the end of the day, love is love and skin color should not be what holds you back from loving a person.

"I don't judge bi-racial couples because I'm trying to marry a white girl," senior Manuel Viramontes, said.

Families are very important and of course your family has to accept your potential spouse. When dating outside your race, your family can be a problem as well.

"My wifes dad is a police officer, so im pretty sure that when she told him she had a mexican boyfriend he did a background check," Mr Gamboa said jokingly.
