| |
| OK Cupid analyzed racial dating data from 2009 and 2014 to evaluate if racism in dating changed over that time frame. They found that although people reported they are more open to dating people of other races over that time frame, racially motivated behaviors actually intensified.
| |
|
| |
| Thus while it seems apparent people are becoming more interested in portraying themselves as less racially motivated, this is not manifesting in any changes to their actual dating behavior. If anything, their underlying racism has intensified.
| |
|
| |
| One must wonder whether it is preferable to suffer racism that is openly acknowledged, or to falsely be told racism doesn't exist but still suffer from it anyway.

| |
| * ''OkCupid users are certainly no more open-minded than they used to be. If anything, racial bias has intensified a bit. ''
| |
| * ''One interesting thing is to compare [users' racial behaviors] with what those same users have told us about their racial attitudes. ''
| |
| * ''Answers to match questions have been getting significantly less biased over time [i.e. "Do you strongly prefer to date someone of your own race?" and "Is interracial marriage a bad idea?"]''
| |
| * ''And yet the underlying behavior has stayed the same.''
