If America Is So Racist, Why Has Interracial Marriage And It's Approval Steadily Increased For The Last 60 Years? (2 Charts)

I refuse to believe that progress regarding racial harmony hasn't been made in this country. Apparently, racism in this country is so bad, that interracial marriage has increased every year for the last 60 years, along with it's overall approval. Shocking. Now, there is still 6% of Americans who don't approve of Black/White marriage. I wonder who that might be?

Add to that just about every person of color who wants to leave their home country wants to come to The USA..

How come none want to immigrate to one of the Communist/Socialist Utopias that are so loved by our Liberal/Progressive/Democrat friends.

The answer to the OP’s title question is - All pussy is pink on the inside, a lot of dudes are just now figuring it out!

Sidenote: I probably would have married 15 black women (reality is I have only married one) by now if they weren’t so materialistic and drama queens. Fyi, if a black woman says she doesn’t like drama, trust me, run away quickly, she’s probably the biggest drama queen you’ll ever run into!!

Where is the graph chart on the percentage of MAGA Trumpers who are bigots and racists, like their Draft Dodging Cult Leader?

I think much more information is needed to jump to your conclusion, Chuck. What's the sample size of the participants in this poll? What are their education and income status? What states do they live in? Those are just a few basic questions to validate your extreme conclusion.

I specifically mention state residency as a question because of the simple fact that red states such as Arkansas or Alabama do not share the same views as blue states like California or New York to validate what I believe to be your highly flawed conclusion about racism (or lack thereof) considering the ambiguity regarding the backgrounds of the poll participants.

The thing is that racism from the 1960's to the early 2000's declined in most areas. The problem is that the political powers that used the actual racism of the 1950's and 1960's to gain political power could not accept success as they would lose power, so they kept finding the exceptions and making it bring racism front and center. They also invented something called Systemic Racism which is nothing more than a pack of lies.

We are constantly told 60-70% of women approve abortion. What they don't mention are the latest Gallup polls that states the following:

Six in 10 U.S. adults think abortion should generally be legal in the first three months of pregnancy. However, support drops by about half, to 28%, for abortions conducted in the second three months, and by half again, to 13%, in the final three months.


But Dems/Pro Abortionist want abortion legal up until the moment of birth, correct?
They don't mention the 2nd and 3rd trimester do they

^^^ I'm not talking about a survey about abortion. I'm talking about the topic survey. Abortion has jack shit to do with racism so that's a whole different topic that is completely irrelevant to the one presented by the OP... stay focused, dude. He never mentioned anything about what Dems think about a fetus in the 2nd or 3rd trimester or maybe I missed that part in Chucks original post. That's quite the nonsensical leap as far as comparing apples to apples. Hell, that's not even apples to oranges. LOL

Edit: I am also curious to know about the vast majority of the ages of the poll participants. Obviously, someone younger is much more likely to be more tolerant about their views than someone older who is set in their ways and not open to deviate/pivot from their views of what they believe should be the norm.

Did you notice the polls were conducted by Gallup? Not some dinky firm nobody heard of or trusts - but Gallup! They practically invented the scientific poll. They know exactly how large a randomly selected sample size needs to be in order to eliminate all possible biases such as age, race, education, income, state residency, etc. In other words, all those variables you raised because you are emotionally invested in rejecting 63 years of data showing ever-increasing acceptance of inter-racial marriage by Americans from all walks of life.

Once a polling firm expands its national sample population to 600-800 and ensures that those individuals are chosen at random, we can be highly confident the poll accurately reflects the views of the nation as a whole. The so-called "margin of error" is minimized. Even if you never learned or understood how this works, you should at least be able to trust Gallup.

Maybe you ought to ask yourself why are you so hostile to Gallup's findings and the OP's conclusion? Isn't it a good thing that the country has become dramatically more tolerant/less racist over the past 63 years?

Some of my best friends are Negroes…ijs…lmao

https://news.gallup.com/poll/354638/...-new-high.aspx

Ninety-one percent of people over the age of 50 approve of interracial marriage. And 93% in the South approve.

As to survey methods,

Results for this Gallup poll are based on telephone interviews conducted July 6-21, 2021, with a random sample of 1,007 adults, aged 18 and older, living in all 50 U.S. states and the District of Columbia. For results based on the total sample of national adults, the margin of sampling error is ±4 percentage points at the 95% confidence level. All reported margins of sampling error include computed design effects for weighting.

Each sample of national adults includes a minimum quota of 70% cellphone respondents and 30% landline respondents, with additional minimum quotas by time zone within region. Landline and cellular telephone numbers are selected using random-digit-dial methods.

The fact that Gallup has done the same poll thirteen times since 1969, and the trend through the years is clearly towards higher approval levels, would make me believe the numbers are reasonable.

Gallup provides links to additional polls that support RINO Charlie's thesis that America is much less racist than it used to be. Here's what they say about that,

A similar gradual change can be seen in willingness to vote for a Black presidential candidate, a trend that spans just as much time as Gallup's trend on interracial marriage. While voting for a Black candidate was unpopular in the 1950s, nearly all Americans say they would be willing to do so today. Americans' ideas about marriage, too, have changed. Solid majorities now support same-sex marriage, and larger majorities than in the past view divorce as morally acceptable.

At the same time, Americans have become less likely to say that civil rights for Black Americans have improved, and they have recently become more likely to say that new civil rights laws are needed to reduce discrimination against Black people.

I thought results of the "who would you vote for president" poll were interesting. Here are the results, from 2019, being the percentage of Americans who would vote for a generally-qualified person for president who fell into the following categories,

Black 96%
Catholic 95%
Hispanic 95%
A woman 94%
Jewish 93%
Evangelical Christian 80%
Gay or Lesbian 76%
Under the Age of 40 71%
Muslim 66%
Over the age of 70 63% (Democrats and Republicans take note)
An atheist 60%
A socialist 47%

Well, I may be close minded, but I damn well wouldn't vote for a socialist. Any of the rest are pretty much OK in my mind, as long as the candidate believes in free markets, the rule of law, and small government.

Thanks for the sample size, Tiny. I asked that question for a reason. 1,007 people out of 330,000,000 (let's only include adults as I should and simply say well over 200,000,000 plus people.) I think a basic or even remedial stats class would teach anyone that you can hardly make a declaration that 94% of the people in this country are not racist because roughly 20 people on average in every state in addition to DC are cool with interracial marriages. But whatever because again, I forget my audience at times in here.

By the way, that's exactly why I disregard polls like this and why I pay no attention to them. They don't tell you shit about anything... I'm fully aware that Chuck is just playing his usual racist games, but many in this forum are dumb enough to give this poll some validity regarding the current state of racism in this country.

I don't particularly care for gay people but if they want to marry each other; what the fuck do I care? I fully support it. See how easy that works in a poll like this? LOL

so much for three degrees

to get a 95% confidence level with a margin of error of 5%

given a population size of 335,000,000

the sample size needed would be 384

assuming random selection and fair questions
