Interracial Stats on Dating

Interracial dating is on the rise and more than ever the percent of African Americans having white spouses has actual tripled from 1960. As a whole, between all interracial marriages, they have risen from 300,000 to a shocking 1.2 million as of 1990. About 65% of Japanese marry outside their race while 75% of Native Americans also marry outside their background.  It seems the number if dating outside ones race is growing highest amongst the younger individuals. A recent study has shown that over 50% of teens have tried dating someone outside their ethnicity which is a far larger number versus what it used to be and 30% of those teens who hadn’t yet dated outside their race said they would give it a try. As time goes on the categories that people fall into are not so defined. People are beginning to blend and this makes stereotyping more difficult. Perhaps people are becoming less judgmental and racial hatred is disappearing. Over time we will hopefully deplete racism completely. As couples have children of different races and as they grow up and have children, we will see the statistics of interracial romance rise with time. A lot has changed since the 1970’s for the better and will continue to improve.
