Summary of Research

From researching the topic of Interracial Relationships and Society I have found that our nation has indeed become more accepting of them. It is definitely a personal preference to many and there will always be people in all aspects of life that don't like something. Through looking at the movies Guess Who, Something New, and Save The Last Dance it is obvious that Hollywood sees the times have changed and made these movies for those in interracial relationships to relate to them. Also through reading many journal articles online it is obvious that interracial relationships are mostly common in the younger generations then those of older generations. Love is something that you cannot control and even if you come from different races nobody can stop you from loving someone.

Quotes

"Interracial Marriages and relationships have become increasingly accepted and encouraged by society." (Duru)

This quote very well supports my topic because I am trying to find out if society accepts people in interracial relationships. This article talked about how through surveying people they have found that the number of people in society supporting interracial relationships has increased.

"Many parents force their children to date within their culture, in order to avoid betraying their own cultural roots." (Duru)

This quote supports how parents can get in between interracial relationships because they believe we should stay with our own cultures.

"...At the end of the day its not about skin color or race. It's about the love connection: the vibe between a man and a woman."
(Something New)

I think that this quote is one of the best that I have found doing my research. Love is blind and you cannot help who you fall in love. We are all humans.

"People are finding people with common interests and common perspectives and are putting race aside." (Jayson)

Race is no longer a factor in dating. People are able to look past the color of someones skin and see them for who they are as a person on the inside.

Survey

I decided to make a survey to help get better statistics on what people in college think about interracial relationships and society. My survey asks various questions dealing with diversity, family preferences, and society views. To take the survey click on the link below. Thank you!
