Interracial Communication — Minus Race, Creed, and Color

Frank C. Gihan Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute

Abstract

In this paper, the author briefly comments on the factors that influence interracial communication: physical characteristics, language and culture, social roles, and traditional values. He has indicated, primarily, that these differences between Whites and Blacks are not actually race-linked, yet, they tend to cloud most interracial communication.
