By This Anniversary Year, U.S. Becomes Much More Accepting of Interracial Marriage

This year marks the 40th anniversary of Loving v. Virginia, the Supreme Court case that declared states could not prohibit interracial marriage. A measure of how far U.S. attitudes have come is that when U.S. Sen. Barack Obama's interracial parents married in 1960, their marriage would have been illegal -- and he would have been considered illegitimate -- in half of all the states in America.

Prior to 1970, the overwhelming majority of all couples were same-race married couples. Couples who lived together outside of marriage, whether heterosexual or same-sex, were practically invisible. Inter-racial marriages were extremely rare. In fact, until 1967, many states in the US had laws against interracial marriage. In Virginia, for example, all nonwhite groups, including blacks, native Americans, and Asians, were prohibited from marrying whites. Even in states that never had laws against racial intermarriage, such as Illinois and New York, racial intermarriage was rare before the end of the 1960s.

Since 1970 there has been a steady increase in all types of nontraditional romantic unions. The number of same-sex couples livingtogether openly has climbed significantly, while the number of heterosexual unmarried cohabiting couples has soared, from 3.1 million in 1990 to 4.6million in 2000 to 5.2 million in 2005.

State laws prohibiting interracial marriages were finally struck down in the Supreme Court's Loving decision. Yet such marriages continued to be very uncommon well into the 1970s. In 1970, less than 2% ofmarried couples in the US were interracial. By 2005, the number of such marriages had risen almost fourfold, with interracial couples representing 7.5 percent of all married couples. Although this percentage may seem small, it is a dramatic increase over several decades, and many signs pointto it accelerating in the future, says Michael Rosenfeld of Stanford University.

Some of the rise in racial intermarriage since 1970 is due to immigration, which has increased the racial diversity of the US since 1965. Hispanics and Asians are the predominant groups among the new immigrants, and because neither Asians nor Hispanics are residentially segregated tothe extent that blacks in the US historically have been, Asians and Hispanics have substantial opportunity to socialize with members of other racial groups, says Rosenfeld, of Stanford's sociology department.

The increased numbers of these immigrants have contributed to the rise in intermarriage between Hispanics and non-Hispanic whites, and the rise in intermarriage between Asians and whites, Rosenfeld says.

The rise in black-white marriages cannot be due to immigration. One cause is improvement in race relations. Despite enduring prejudices, the post-Civil Rights era has led to more socialization between blacks and whites, and to more intermarriage. Polls show that the percentage of Americans who want interracial marriage to be illegal has declined precipitously since the early 1970s, and thereis much higher acceptance of inter-racial unions than at any time in the past 200 years.

Dr. Bunn, a Different Sort of Dentist

I love my dentist. He treats me as a patient and as a person -- not a case to manage. He talks to me my dental condition and he works hard to make sure I'm comfortable. When I had trouble with the x-ray devices in my mouth he sent me to another office to make sure I could use a different x-ray that would be more comfortable.

Dr. Steven T. Bunn at Hayfield Dental Care is the same sort of dentist. Visit his website and you'll see for yourself. He believes respect is earned -- it doesn't come just because he wears a white coat. He believes in making a positive difference in the lives of his patients.

He believes that the quality of the experience you have in the office will have lasting effects on your dental health and your overall attitudes toward health care.

Dr. Bunn lists as his top influences on his health care philosophy as his own dentist and his peditrician growing up. A dentist that has holds a mindset influenced by a pediatrician -- that's pretty reassuring!

Hayfield Dental Care offers general, family and cosmetic dentistry and employs a full time specialist in orthodontics. Orthodontic consultations are provided at no charge for both children and adults.

Since opening in 1987, Hayfield has treated more than 23,000 patients in Alexandria, Va., and the surrounding region. Hayfield is open to new patients and emergencies.
