Why are interracial marriage accepted more today in the 21st
Century than in the period of the color of water,1940’s through 1980s?
There’s it’s a known fact that researchers have found young adults today in our 21st century have more of a diverse racial background than then the past generation unlike the ‘Color Of Water’ During the 1940s in Ruth’s time. Ruth McBride was known to have a very loveless and poor childhood she soon later in life found her love which in those days were not acceptable because Ruth’s love was a black male and Ruth was a white young lady despite the fact that they weren’t supposed to be together due to their race she still loved and married off with Dennis who she could finally share her love with. In our generation today more are willing to freely have open relationships with other races and cultures. So far our 21st century generation has come out to be a big surprise due to the interracial marriages that continues to grow compared to Ruth’s days where things that go on today could not go on back then. Ruth wasn’t accepted by many blacks due to the fact that she was a white woman and was poor at that. Interracial relationships always failed in Ruth eyes because it was so much pressure and disgrace put on interracial couples, Ruth also believe that the requirements of marriage had nothing to do with race, it wasn’t even all about money she believe that as long as you had love and god with just a little money happiness could last forever and you can deal with the rest that comes with it slowly. There’s facts that says over 4.5million married couples today in the U.S.A are interracial, there’s also an American approval from 86% of Americans that says there’s nothing wrong with black-white marriages. Different race marriages are more approved and common that heterosexual couples much like Ruth and Dennis who
