Can you name any case ever heard by the U.S. Supreme Court?
Yes 54%
No 46%

I just took a brief survey of the four adults currently in this room and all of us could name a supreme court case. None of us are American and only one of us has a college degree.

Because online dating culture is incredibly toxic. Take boomer dating culture, mix it with even more incredibly crass racial stereotypes boosted by the algorithm, social paranoia, and just generalized anti-social behavior, and you get a large isolated groups of people of all races and genders that do not believe it is possible to inter-culturally/inter-racially date or marry.

I have met multiple black women who think black men who date outside of their race are race-traitors. I’ve met white men who refuse to date anyone who isn’t also white. I’ve met several young Indian men who will never marry outside their caste, let alone race.

Most of these opinions are, at first, ironic presentations online, but just like with ironic Nazis, eventually it is not irony anymore.

Shits wack af up here people, send help.

Do you think it’s just because of online dating culture?

I’m not able to send help. But if he considers it so bad that he wants an out, that’s a viable option.

I think it is one of the major driving factors of anti-social behavior. The complete and totalizing market affect on relationships is incredibly pronounced in a way that noticably affects everyone. America already has a puritanical attitude around sex and relationships, and slapping a gamification element has only served to complete the alienated aspect of dating. It’s probably not the only one though.

I’m not sure moving to even more isolated white nations would help, but maybe.

The poll is bad. There is no way on god’s green earth that the older you are, the more accepting you are of interracial couples (at least in the US). It’s inconsistent with similar polls as as well just obvious common knowledge. It would be like seeing a poll among Americans that showed the older you were, the more likely it is you are cool with socialism.

Now what would be an interesting study would be to see the gap between what people say about their feelings on interracial couples, and what they actually think. I suspect there’s a significant gap but idk.

I wonder if some people were confused by the wording of the poll. I mean this makes no sense. 31% of black people answered Yes? 22% of liberals vs 18% of conservatives?

Otherwise: :joker-amerikkklap: :brainworms:

Yeah, if we compare to a Gallup poll from 2021, the results look very different.

This is a great counterpoint. Perhaps the current poll is just an outlier?

I think when you’re asking online participants upwards of 60 questions about some fairly difficult issues you’re going to get way less signal and way more noise.

Yougov surveys are terrible and should be taken with a grain of salt.
