Toward More Authentic Interpersonal Relations, Revisited.
Silverthorne, Colin
Using a conceptual framework which it was believed would facilitate the establisment of authentic interpersonal relations between blacks and whites, a course entitled "The Psychology of Interracial Relations" offered an opportunity to allow those involved with more than the black-white problem a way to look at themselves and deal with more apparent issues. Tables reflect an attempt by the class, homogeneous and interracial in character, to explore their own perceptions, prejudices, and feelings centered around their differences in race. While several similar responses to those obtained with blacks and whites are contained, there are significant differences. The recognition that all minority groups are not the same and their problems are culturespecific is observed as crucial in dealing with the white-Chicano and white-Chinese problems. The matrix of assumptions and behaviors of white, Chinese, and Chicano groups intersecting with assumptions and behaviors which block or facilitate authentic relations reveal the importance of the perception of minority group problems as those of a particular racial group, not just any nonwhite group.
