Pew Study: Intermarriage Increasing in Popularity

A recent PewResearch study shows that interracial marriage is increasing: “About 15% of all new marriages in the United States in 2010 were between spouses of a different race or ethnicity from one another, more than double the share in 1980 (6.7%). Among all newlyweds in 2010, 9% of whites, 17% of blacks, 26% of Hispanics and 28% of Asians married out. […] About 36% of Asian female newlyweds married outside their race in 2010, compared with just 17% of Asian male newlyweds.”
