This is not a success

This is from Editor and Publisher. And the E&P story presents this as a success pressing very hard that among the youngest respondents, the number is highest which is good, but not surprising.

(Gallup poll)
Somewhat fewer whites than blacks accept interracial dating, but their acceptance is still strong. By age, the breakdown ranges from the 95% in the younger group to about 45% of those 65 and over.

There is no longer even a double standard on the gender involved, with 71% of the entire sample approving a black man dating a white woman and 75% backing a white man dating a black woman.

But Sometimes when I read polls, I read them backwards. And throwing out the black man/ white woman minor statistical difference mentioned above, when I read that poll, I read that 25-30% of Americans still don't approve of interracial dating.

It's the 21st century for god's sake.
