WASHINGTON POST – Online dating encourages diverse relationships, with couples who meet online more likely to be interracial. This has led to greater societal acceptance of interracial marriage, reaching 94% in 2021. While people may still prefer similar backgrounds, online dating opens doors to more diverse connections. A review of data provided to me by Coffee Meets Bagel shows that across all races and ethnicities, people are more likely to "like" profiles of potential partners of their own ethnic and racial backgrounds. Online dating only opens the door. People need to walk through it.
