Data from the Pew Research Center indicates that interracial marriage has been steadily increasing over the past five decades. In 1967, only 3% of all marriages in the U.S. were between people of different races or ethnicities. Today, that figure stands at over 17%, and among Black men who married in 2021, approximately 24% had a spouse of a different race\u2014most commonly white women.<\/p>\n
