The United States prides itself on being a melting pot of cultures. In light of current events, it’d be naive to say that the contents of the pot has seamlessly mixed together, but there’s one statistic suggesting a positive uptick in one part of life: personal relationships. A recent study revealed that fifteen percent of newlyweds are in an interracial relationship—or 8.4 percent marriages overall—a marked increase since 1960 when only 0.4 percent of marriages were multi racial.

美國以文化熔爐而自豪。以目前事件來看，要說熔爐內之物已完全熔合是天真的說法，但有一項統計，提到在生活上某一部具有肯定的激勵作用。最近一項研究透露，新婚夫妻有15%是異族通婚，或是整體的8.4%，而1960年代僅0.4%，顯然有顯著增加。
