Younger generation unconcerned by interrecial dating

Whilst people over the age of 30 might still hold the belief that it’s not normal to date or marry outside the same race, the younger generation appears not to hold such beliefs.

Twenty-somethings and younger have developed a form of ‘colour-blindness’ whereby they focus on finding friends and dates with similar interests, rather than focussing the colour of their skin.

Studies by the Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning and Engagement, part of the University of Maryland’s School of Public Policy, suggests that the 15-25 age group is ‘more tolerant and open-minded’ than previous generations.

“Diversity”, “multicultural” and “inclusion” are buzzwords that the younger generation take for granted.
