Whats that got to do with class divisions??
Obviously you are not from the States. Skin colour has a lot to do with Class Divisions. Most people of colour are oppressed to this day in the States and by rich white men at that. Not a lot has changed since slavery. Rich white men own slaves and now rich white men keep people oppressed, especially people of colour.
Explain to me which family would a poor black family have more solidarity with
-a rich black family, or
- a poor white family???
Well, the rich Black family might be considered too white for the poor Black family. However, when a child is biracial, they are often pushed back and forth, in that they are too Black for the white kids and too white for the Black kids. So, it’s six of one and half dozen of the other, but most affluent Black families aren’t amongst the poor Black families.
You have out done yourself with that response
Not sure what you mean by that. My family is biracial, so it’s not like haven’t lived amongst Black people or sat in on NAACP meetings.
There are other studies, and they show the same thing.

No, I haven’t.
Relationships are just one way for different groups to interact. But since you brought it up, interracial relationships are more likely to fail.
Say what? We still live in different countries and we still fight.
Is your solution to go back to a time when countries were more homogenous? Are you comparing how things are now to some other time or place where homogenous nations were better? Either one of those fails to help your case.
The most diverse countries in the world are also the most chaotic, and the least diverse are the least chaotic, so I don’t know where you’re getting that idea.
Personally, I like diversity. I don’t like segregation.

You know what? I’m married and I’m not conservative. I’m liberal, so I must fall outside their lame study.
How are interracial relationships more likely to fail when the divorce rate is one out of two end in divorce? It’s kind of hard to beat such odds.
On top of it all… Pew Research caused me to question them a long time ago. I don’t trust their results like I did over fifteen years ago. Their results are questionable.
Yes, lets go back to feudal times. Those were fun with all that jousting and crusades.
Mixing people is not a question of race or of class or of religion, or of countries of origine.
The only prerequisite is the sharing of a minimum of values.

Everyone keeps saying this, but the problem is we don’t share that many values. And our values are shaped by our DNA.
There are always a few outliers, but general trends exist.
Cultural differences, most likely.
That maybe true, but I don’t think this stat is a true stat. I’m very skeptical of it.
One out of two marriages end in divorce. I doubt that has anything to do with cultural differences. Those odds depend on a variety of things. Interracial marriage is no different than any other marriage if they both grew up in the U.S. I can tell you what broke up my first marriage and cultural differences wasn’t one of them. If the elements that did break us up didn’t exist, we’d still be married to day, but they had nothing to do with anything you’ve said.
good example of the rounding error.
50% of marriages end in divorce
One cause, in some cases, is differences in cultures
Therefore cultural differences cause divorce
The rounding error ignores the other causes, ignores that most divorces have multiple causes, ignores the amount of influence any one cause has, and probably more things being ignored that I can’t think of.

Exactly, there is more than one cause for the 1 out of 2 marriages ending in divorce. Cultural differences aren’t necessarily the cause, but might be part of the problem in some divorces. There isn’t one cause.
Maybe that’s because you don’t like what it says. Here’s something else.
Abstract: The literature on interracial families has examined social stigmas attached to interracial relationships but has not thoroughly documented whether crossing racial boundaries increases the risk of divorce. Using the 2002 National Survey of Family Growth (Cycle VI), we compare the likelihood of divorce for interracial couples to that of same-race couples. Comparisons across marriage cohorts reveal that, overall, interracial couples have higher rates of divorce, particularly for those marrying during the late-1980s. We also find race and gender variation. Compared to White/White couples, White female/Black male, and White female/Asian male marriages were more prone to divorce; meanwhile, those involving non-White females and White males and Hispanics and non-Hispanic persons had similar or lower risks of divorce.
I looked up the divorce rate out of curiosity, and that 50/50 chance of divorce claim is actually not accurate.
It’s a long-standing, depressing myth that 50% of marriages in America end in divorce. At that point, why even try, right?
Wrong. In fact, the divorce rate in the United States is going down. It hit a peak of about 41% for people who married 35 years ago and it’s been falling ever since.
But the story of divorce — and how to measure it — is still a complicated one. Nonetheless, it’s been mostly good news for the past few decades.
Interesting, but it doesn’t change the fact that interracial marriages are more likely to end.
Also, anybody who says cultural differences between races doesn’t exist is burying their head in the sand.
