This chapter accomplishes this by looking into the perceptions of the "outsiders- and the "insiders- of the following interracial relationships: male-male friendships, female-female friendships, male-female friendships, male-female romantic relationships, male-male romantic relationships, and female-female romantic relationships. The main focus here is on male-female romantic relationships. .
As expected, interracial marriages are statistically infrequent. According to the US Bureau of Census, 1994, 2.2% of married couples were interracial by March 1993. Of the interracial marriages, 20.3% of them were black-white marriages, and of this group, 75% were black-male, white- female marriages. .
"Outsiders- have their own perspective on interracial relationships. There are many theories as to what the "outsiders- believe and why they believe it, but there has not been enough studies done to accept these as truth. Basically, the "outsiders- view is as such: a black person the has a relationship with a white person in a predominately white setting or a white person that has a relationship black person in a predominately black setting is seen as a social abnormality. "Outsiders- also believe that an interracial relationship is driven by sex, which in turn. Leads them to believe that they are unstable in comparison to black-black and white-white relationships.
"Insiders-, people involved in interracial relationships, have to spend a lot of time defending their positions, as a result they know that they do not fit in with mainstream society. They feel lonely, so to compensate for their feelings, they form support groups with other interracial couples. It is their "interracial relationships sub-culture."".
