Synopsis
This presenter-led documentary will explore what role race plays in the world of dating, specifically in the online world, and asks – when looking for love, do racial preferences amount to racism, or is it the same as having a preference for, say, redheads? Date My Race will explore Australia’s confronting racial patterns when it comes to online dating and race. We will have exclusive access to data from one of Australia’s popular dating sites that will reveal our dating patterns. By using individual case studies and speaking with academics and experts, we will explore what these patterns say about us as a nation and our attitudes towards race.
