Expertise
I can answer just about everything about interracial dating and what you will expect to deal with if you are in one. I won't answer questions about the psychological elements because I don't have a background in psychology to answer that.
Experience
I have been in two long term relationships with individuals who were biracial and I have experience in friends who have dated and are married to people who are of a different race.
Education/Credentials
