Inter-Ethnic/Interracial Romantic Relationships In The United States: Factors Responsible For The Low Rates Of Marriages Between Blacks And Whites, Amadu Jacky Kaba

Amadu Jacky Kaba

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 21st Century. For Black Americans, however, the data show that just a very tiny fraction of them are involved in interracial romantic re-lations, including marriages with Whites and other non-White groups. The paper then goes on to present the factors responsible for this phenomenon.
