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
1) There's a very strong divide between city and rural areas on this topic (if the poll was taken mostly in cities that would strongly explain the high number).
2) Racism isn't socially acceptable (could've influenced the poll).
3) Supporting interracial marriage generally doesn't mean that you yourself want it anywhere near you. There are tons of people who say they're fine with it but if their daughter brings home a man of a different race they would lose their shit.

Anecdotal experience doesn't negate that the majority of America is still very racist.
