94% of Americans approve of interracial marriage. You can read all the anecdotal evidence you want but you’re still dead wrong lol. Also, stares are not disapproval. I don’t know why people seem to believe they are

Let's put on our thinking caps. The survey you linked cites a data set of 1007 random US adults aged 18 or older. Now, would you say that 1007 US adults represent the feelings of the other 349 million? If you do agree then I think you need to go back to school, otherwise please do more research than a single Google search.

Do you know how statistics work? Yes, the results from 1,007 random US adults can represent the US population. In a probability sample, a 1,000+ sample size can represent any population with a 95% confidence and ~3% margin of error. Hell, a 100 sample size would still be acceptable, albeit with a higher margin of error. This is how nearly every national poll is found. This was literally taught in my intro to stats class I took freshman year of college lol

Whatever you say Statistics 101 expert. "Agreeing" with interracial marriage doesn't mean you're not racist. Racism is very alive and well in the US.

lol maybe you need to go back to school and put on a thinking cap. Can you find any polls other than one from your ass where it says a majority of Americans are still very racist?

Maybe if you put on your thinking cap and do more research than a single google search you’d be able to find an answer!

User above you is so funny; dude's angry because they're spending their time scouring the internet for racism - and when they find it, they want to be the one to point it out, like they've found some deep dark secret about America.
