Before this two-thirds of the white population disapproved of black-white marriages, and half thought it should be a crime. Since this decision the attitudes towards interracial marriages changed dramatically. A study of students at college found that one of every there black and white girls are willing to date outside of their race. It also found that 67% of black males and 45% of white males are willing to do the same. Between 1960 and 1970, there was a 26% increase in black-white marriages as a result of the 1967 Supreme Court decision. The increase was most noticeable in black-male, white-female marriages. This may be based on the thought that men choose their mates based on physical attraction. Based on European conceptions of physical attractiveness, white women find more black men that fit their criteria, and black men find more white women that would fit their criteria. .
There is a question of the stability of interracial marriages. Many believe that they are less stable than others. There is no definitive answer to this question because there are several different controls that can affect the answer to this question when it comes to studying the issues; however, the general conception is that the stability of interracial relationships falls somewhere between black-husband, black wife marriages and white-husband, white-wife marriages. One thing that is known is that the higher the level of education between the two individuals, the higher the stability. .
