A record 14.6% of all new marriages in the U.S. in 2008 were between people of a different race or ethnicity, according to a Pew Research Center survey and analysis of Census data. That figure is an estimated six times the interracial marriage rate among newlyweds in 1960 and more than double the rate in 1980, Some 22% of all black male newlyweds in 2008 married outside their race, compared with just 9% of black female newlyweds.
