A recent study found that the Baton Rouge and Lafayette areas rank among the least likely for newlyweds to be of different backgrounds as the nation becomes more accepting of people marrying someone of another race or ethnicity.
A general not enough variety within the two Louisiana metro areas may have much to complete with all the data, many individuals point out other facets, chief among them attitudes about competition.
Nearly 50 years following the U.S. Supreme Court declared regulations preventing interracial marriages or intimate relationships unconstitutional, the portion of these newlywed partners within the U.S. has grown fivefold, the Pew Research Center study claims, from 3 per cent in 1967 to 17 % in 2015.
“More broadly, one-in-ten married individuals in 2015 — not only those that recently married — possessed a partner of the race that is different ethnicity,” the analysis claims. “This results in 11 million individuals who had been intermarried.”
