“…In 1967, the Supreme Court of the United States finally ruled that antimisegenation laws were unconstitutional in the case Loving v. Virginia. Scholars and authors studying interracial marriages or unions are beginning to point to interesting research findings showing different trends in the kinds of unions being formed (Cready & Saenz, 1997;Cretser & Leon, 1982;Cruz & Berson, 2001;Ellinghaus, 2002;Hwang, Saenz, & Aguirre, 1995;Jacobs & Labov, 1998Kalmijn, 1993;Kennedy, 2003;McNamara, Tempenis, & Walton 1999;Moran, 2001;Rogers, 1944;Tucker & Mitchell-Kernan, 1990).…”

This paper examines the status of interracial romantic relationships among non-Black groups and those between Blacks and non-Blacks in the United States. The research shows that, apart from Blacks, inter-ethnic/interracial marriages and other forms of romantic unions have increased substantially by the 21 st Century. For Black Americans, however, the data show that just a very tiny fraction of them are involved in interracial romantic relations, including marriages with Whites and other non-White groups. The paper then goes on to present the factors responsible for this phenomenon.
