Quote:For the second year in a row, the number of non-Hispanic white deaths in 2013 outweighed the number of white births, signaling an increasingly older and diversified American public. It is a trend that’s likely to continue for a while, as traditionally minority groups become the majority of the U.S. population.

As a result of its slower growth rate, compared with other groups, the number of non-Hispanic white individuals declined to 62.6 percent of the total overall population in 2013 from 63 percent in 2012, according to recent figures from the Census Bureau.

“As we move forward we’re probably going to continue to have a natural decrease of whites because it’s an older population and eventually, maybe in 10 years or so, we’ll have a decline in the white population,” says William Frey, a demographer and senior fellow at the Metropolitan Policy Program at the Brookings Institution in Washington. “That’s a scenario I think we’ll see for a while.”

It's not changing. You still didn't answer the question. What race are you?

There is more interracial dating due to media trends, but most studies confirm that people prefer to marry and prorate within their own race. That isn't going to change no matter what popular culture tries to make popular at the time.

The media has no effect on who people decide to date.

Oh it most certainly does.

It does not. When you make an outrageous claim like that, it's always nice to back it up with something other than opinion.

Krieger, I work in advertising and have studied the media's influence on people for many years. I can tell you with 100% certainty that you are wrong. The media most definitely has made interracial dating more popular...just as it has made exploring homosexuality en vouge

Not true. Humans by nature tend to seek out features and similarities in mates. Most studies suggest that is not changing, nor would any valid study suggest otherwise.

We are animals. That's just how it is. I know liberals dream of a world where every person has a child with someone from another race until we are all singing and holding a coke in our hands, but it is not reality.

human psychology says otherwise. The majority will always seek mates in their own racial group.

Is that nature or nurture? Throughout history, when people traveled from one place to another a lot married outside of the race and it continued until some power discouraged the practice. It happened in America until the King discouraged the practice and certain colonies levied fines.

Look at the makeup of Latin America. The Catholic Church didn't oppose interracial marriage as long as there was a conversion.

stigmas are not what are keeping people generally within their own race. It's our physiological makeup.

You can argue it until the cows come home. In the end, the majority will always procreate within their own race.

Ask a sample of black women and I guarantee you most of them will say they are more attracted to black men.

of course, because there is a more diverse pool of eligibles. That is inevitable, but it doesn't change the fact that the majority will always procreate among their own race.

Quote:Most people appear willing to date outside their race, but they still state preferences. A recent study of profiles submitted to the online dating website Match.com showed, for example, that whites are more open to dating Hispanics and Asians than blacks are.5 And younger clients are more willing to date outside their race than older clients.

But most Americans marry someone of the same race. A recent report from the Pew Research Center found that one in seven new marriages in 2008 was either interracial or between a Hispanic and a non-Hispanic—unions encompassed by the term "intermarriages." This is double the percentage of intermarriages in 1980, but still relatively low. And, as sociologist Dan Lichter points out, the biggest increase appears to be within minority groups. White Americans still mostly marry other whites.6 While 31 percent of Asians, 26 percent of Hispanics, and 16 percent of blacks "married out" in 2008, just 9 percent of whites did (see Figure 1).
