Is Love Color Blind?

About half of Americans have said they have dated someone of the opposite race. While current generation is becoming more and more accepting of interracial couples, the pool of people dating interracially is uneven.

What factors determine whether or not someone would date someone not in their race? Well, the race of the individual is the the prevalent factor. The most least likely couple match is blacks and whites. Latinos and Asians are the most likely to engage in an interracial relationship. Studies show that youth from higher income families are less likely to date the opposite sex. This same statistic is reversed in Latinos. Better-off Latinos are more likely to interracially date than less affluent Latinos.

A majority of the people who are willing to interracially date are products of interracial love themselves. While its being more accepted, a lot of them rarely feel comfortable showing PDA in public. It is also more less likely that the relationship will end in marriage. Even with that statistic, interracial marriages are increasing.

I feel like America is a melting pot, and that is how it should be. Stigmas on interracial dating are highest in America while other cultures do not care as much. People should love love, not try to discredit it based off race. I support it. I endorse it. I embrace it.One should be comfortable with someone if they are in love. Love should be colorblind. Because Love is Love.
