As an engineer in
the U.S. Air Force,
there’s no telling what
you’ll work on.
(Seriously, we can’t tell .you.)
United States Air Force applied technology is years ahead
of what you'll touch in the private sector, and as a new
engineer you’ll likely be involved at the ground level of new
and sometimes classified developments. You’ll begin leading
and managing within this highly respected group from day
one. Find out what’s waiting behind the scenes for you in
the Air Force today. To request more information, call
1-800-423-USAF or log on to airforce.com.

people have to deal with cultural differences.
All of these adjustments can easily take their
toll on the relationship.”
Since Kathy grew up in a predominantly
white city, she said she always faced clearly
defined racial boundaries. As a result, Kathy
said, she realizes that associating in a friendly
manner with different people and being
involved with them romantically are two com
pletely different things.
“I think the way that I was brought up has a
lot to do with my preference,” she said.
“Society sometimes tears people up if they are
in a relationship with somebody of a different
race. If I have children someday, I don’t want
to put them through unnecessary grief. They
shouldn't have to choose between which eth
nicity they like better either.”
Kathy said another deterrent is the fact that
she has seen firsthand the negativity that bi-
racial couples experience.
“Back home, a friend of mine was in a bi-
racial relationship for a while,” she said.
“Since our city wasn't very diverse to begin
with, it would shock people when they saw
them together.”
Kathy said the combination of that discrimi
nation and their parents’ disapproval was
enough to end her friend’s relationship.
“Their parents weren't too crazy about the
idea either,” she said. “Despite all of the con
troversy, they still tried to make it work, but
they finally gave up. In the end, they were both
just miserable.”
Evan Brietzke, a white College Station resi
dent, agrees that biracial couples are an easy
target for people who think the idea of uni!)
and diversity should have some limits.
Brietzke’s girlfriend. Shailey Gupta, ajufi
political science major, is from India. Brietzb
said that although their pairing results in dip
or odd looks from people at times, a close
friend was the only person that ever made a
real issue out of it.
“He seemed more fascinated that 1 wastk
ing an Indian girl than anything,” Brietzke
said. “He was very insensitive to both ofom
feelings. I can actually remember that firsu
subsequently only, time we went out togethe:
he followed up his introduction of me with.
‘He’s dating an Indian girl.’ I was more
shocked that he saw it worthwhile to menties
than anything. To me my relationship ismv
own. no matter who it is with.”
Brietzke said despite society’s progress,
there is still much to be done in terms ofiK
mingling races.
“Issues like this should be for magazines
and periodicals, not real people,” Brietzkes;
“Even in our more enlightened time where*:
are taught that color is another word, not a
label, 1 unfortunately still see that ethno-pha
bias are more of a truth than an idea.”
Quintana said that ultimately, dating s«

“Having differences between two people in
relationship is what makes the relationship inti

everything in life would be boring and pre
dictable. We shouldn't shy away from diversitj.l countdown, tl
