Latina Lista: Growth in Interracial Relationships Paves the Way to Ending Racial Stereotypes

“Watching reruns of I Love Lucy, I could relate to that household. After all, my own parents’ marriage was just like theirs - as far as ethnicity.

In fact, in my mom’s family, the majority of her brothers and sisters married Anglo spouses. It seems my family, and others like them, were ahead of their time when it comes to “interracial relationships.”

A new article in the American Sociological Review (ASR) says that the interracial trend is still growing and getting stronger.”
