  22. INTERRACIAL DATING • Conclusion – • Due to diversity being embraced, it is easier to gain and maintain acceptance in the USA for interracial relationships, compared to other countries. • Studies show that a large majority of younger, college-age individuals have been in or are willing to be in an interracial relationship. They also showed a broader mentality and better tolerance towards this issue. • There are today, inspiring examples of true love, in which people are in a successful, rich, rewarding interracial relationship. • Although interracial dating is a less controversial issue among Americans today, it still remains an issue. Especially for older generations, it is hard to accept these radical changes. Hence, the change may be slow and difficult for some, but it is on its way.
