Interracial marriage still rising, but not as fast

[Obnoxiously Slutty Girly Girl]

Why are interracial marriages so high in Oklahoma? Isn't everyone white over there?

Everyone and their mother claims Native ancestry.

Very true.

Are you part-Native?

Yeah, you got a problem with that?

My father's mother was half Comanche half Irish.  I don't really brag about it to other people because I just don't give a sh*t.

Yikes, didn't realize Okies were so sensitive about their ancestry.

Has Al Sharpton ever held a rally in Oklahoma? I'm sure Phelps and Duke have been there.

     My mother claims hispanic heritage. I guess that makes me the child of an interracial relationship.

lol West Virginia.  I guess it's hard to find cousins of different ethnic origins.

West Virginia is a lilly-white state so it's not surprising that they are at the bottom of the list (same with Maine).

OTOH, Mississippi and Alabama show once again that they have a looooong way to go.

And Pennsylvania, WTF?

The low percent in PA doesn't surprise me.  The non-white rural population is tiny (less than 1 percent) and many of the smaller cities, like Altoona, Johnstown, Williamsport, etc have relatively small black populations.  In the meantime, the larger cities are deeply segregated, and while racial tension doesn't abound, racial map is clearly defined, both geographically and socially.

BTW... contrary to popular belief, half of U.S. states have more liberal laws about marrying relatives than West Virginia, in fact, the states that allow First Cousin marriage vs the ones that don't would likely surprise you:
