Abstract:

Interracial marriages are becoming more common, but skin color still matters in America. As minorities—especially Asian and Hispanic Americans—move up the ladder and integrate neighborhoods, they increasingly marry whites. Still, strong racial identities and lingering prejudice, particularly toward African Americans, limit this most intimate form of integration.
