Paul Ryan: Dating Chicago woman opened my eyes to racism

Posted: Updated:
CHICAGO (FOX 32 News) -

A Chicago woman is now being dragged into the race for president.

Deneeta Pope dated Republican vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan back in college.

Ryan says the relationship opened his eyes to racism because of the comments people made about them being a bi-racial couple.

The couple dated for five years, but broke up in the late '90s.

Pope lives on Chicago's North Side.

She's married and a registered Democrat, but says Ryan is a very nice guy and a very likeable person.
