I think it largely depends on where you are in the world... Certainly in the cities where the majority of people are anonymous, intergration happens far more often and has little impact on other people. However I grew up in a very samll village in Ireland and the idea of an interracial relationship was and still is totally alien, regardless of the impact that the media has had. Certainly for the younger generations, music, television and the internet have been fantasic, it has opened their eyes and you do see a lot more younger white women dating outside their race, particularly black men. Though as I said it greatly depepnds on where in the world you are, if the area is predominantly white, then very few if any will date outside their race. Just my observations and pennies worth.
