Have interracial marriages become more acceptable in U.S.?
Interracial marriages in the U.S. have climbed to 4.8 million – a record one in 12 – as a steady flow of new Asian and Hispanic immigrants expands the pool of prospective spouses.
Blacks are now substantially more likely than before to marry whites.

Ok… so 1 in 12, so basically you’re saying less than 10%.
