If you are considering interracial dating, you may be curious about statistics on interracial relationships. -

While the rate of interracial dating and marriage has definitely grown in the past decades, exactly how many are marrying? -

Of those who do marry, which ethnic groups are most likely to be together? -

It's kind of hard to believe this today, but as recent as 1967, there was actually state laws that banned interracial marriage. -
5.
In that case, the Supreme Court found that it was unconstitutional for the state of Virginia to ban interracial marriage. -
6.
Since then, the number of marriages has grown significantly. In 1970 there were only 65,000 marriages involving African-Americans and Whites. -

Although there are no longer any laws banning relationships, interracial dating remains a controversial subject for some people. -

When African-Americans and Whites marry, there is 2.65 times more likely to be an African-American husband and a white wife. In fact, 73 percent of all African-American and White marriages have this setup. -

While the majority of all races still marry another person of the same race, it can sometimes feel like members of your own race are being chosen by another race. This can occasionally cause a problem if you only want to date or marry someone of your own race. -

Regardless of the statistics on interracial relationships, deciding to date or marry someone of another race is a personal decision. You are likely to face more challenges and possibly family scrutiny if you marry someone of another race. -

But in return, you have the possibility of enjoying a diversity that same-race couples will never know. -

When looking for love, look beyond race, and for that matter, beyond appearance, social status and economic bracket as well. -

By doing so, you increase your opportunities to find a satisfying, loving relationship. -
