opinion 1/17/2019, 12:00am Kennedi’s Kaleidoscope: The Politics of an Interracial Relationship By Kennedi Barnett I had become so used to the acceptance and inclusivity of a college campus I almost forgot that the world may not be as comfortable with people of different races being in a relationship.
