__Nafisa Syed__ Evolving Community Attitudes Towards Interracial Marriage (20-21 century)

Interracial marriage has been a point of contention for several centuries, but has become more accepted in the last few decades, especially due to the increase of interracial marriages. A 2012 study conducted by the Pew research center has found that 43% of Americans see interracial marriage as positive.

Furthermore, more than 15 percent of new marriages were between spouses of different races in 2010, which is almost three times as much as the number of interracial marriages in 1980 (Saulny).
