Abstract
Assimilation theorists have traditionally viewed inter-group partnerships that are romantic indicators of racial equality. These unions remain relatively infrequent although the past half-century has witnessed the erosion of anti-miscegenation laws and subsequent increases in the frequency of interracial marriages. Low intermarriage prices are partially explained by the casual sanctions leveled at young interracial romances. This research tests whether adolescents whom interracially date have reached greater risks of peer difficulties than intra-racially dating youth. Outcomes display a good relationship between adolescent interracial dating and peer trouble in school. As hypothesized from ethnographic research and theories of inter-group relations, results declare that interracial romances activate peer sanctions and that these responses are strongest when romances include black colored pupils.
