When thinking about Interracial Marriage, it is easy to say that it is still not accepted, and that may be true. While it is not completely accepted, it is getting better. When looking up articles on this issue, I came across a New York Times piece in which the growing amount of mixed-race children in the deep South were examined. The article found that in the South, the number of interracial marriages, and their resultant children were steadily increasing, and that racial attitudes were changing as well. Many in the article commented that there was not as much hostility these days, and that people no longer had to hide relationships. While reading this article, I felt happy that attitudes were becoming more positive and less hostile, but at the same time, I was quite sad that these attitudes were there in the first place. The link to the article is below, and I hope that you read it because it is very interesting to read.
