New GQ Interview Reveals AOC Was Worried About Marrying a White Man in Riley Roberts
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez recently did a candid interview with GQ spilling beans about the internal thoughts she had about being with Riley Roberts who is a white man. In the interview AOC seemed to insinuate she wasn’t sure if a white man would be able to handle a multicultural relationship with her. Regarding her engagement she said, “The moment you start being yourself, they kind of freak out… I think it causes a conflict within them that they didn’t even anticipate. It’s not even a deception. It’s just, they uncover insecurities that they didn’t know were there”.
In essence it seems that she was afraid that Riley Roberts’ life experiencing as a white man would eventually get in the way of their relationship, because of hidden emotions he might not expect to have due to her ethnic background and confidence. Luckily for her it seems they haven’t ran into any issues, as they are still planning to go forward with marriage, and appear to still be happy in their relationship. In the past the two have been seen on social media discussing race and racism, so that entails they are having open discussions about the differences in their backgrounds from a cultural standpoint.
