Content: But what do the numbers say about that? How common is it for white men to marry Black women in the U.S.? We’ve done some research into interracial marriage statistics to see if Americans of different ethnicities, creeds, beliefs, and ideologies are coming together in a meaningful way. 4. About 17% of New Marriages are Interracial Couples
The Pew Research Center has tracked American marriage rates and found a steady increase in interracial marriages since 1967 — the year interracial marriage was legalized in the U.S.
In 1967, just 3% of American marriages were between interracial couples. Today, 17% of newlyweds are entering an interracial marriage. That may not sound like a lot, but it amounts to about 11 million married men and women who have chosen a partner of a different race or ethnicity. Interracial marriage is slightly more common among well-educated Americans. It’s kind of crazy to think how far we’ve come as a society. Today’s young interracial couples probably have parents or grandparents who grew up in a time when it was illegal for Black men to marry white women.
