SALAM & HI DEAR ALL..
First and foremost I'd like to show facts on interrcultural/interracial marriage in the USA some years ago...
... positively increasing and I'm sure they'll be keep increasing...
So back to to our discussion,
As I've mentioned before, intercultural couples would have the similar problems as the typical within-culture marriage: in-laws and society. Lets say if it's hard for the spouses to cope with each other's tradition and beliefs, how would their families take it? Thus what about the perception of the society in where they live?
This external 'acceptance factor' is sometimes the worst that could get in the way of the marriage. It's when the family of the spouses respectively rejected the idea of interracial marriage, or even when they allowed it, they displayed their lack of acceptance through their treatment towards their son/daughter/brother/sister-in-law whose origin is by far too different for their liking.
To make matters worse, the respective familes feel that they have the idea of how to help this 'anomaly' (as the families would think) couple in raising their families such as how to raise the kids and how to live without forgetting their tradition in their daily lives. This peculiar involvement might be the cause of the pitfall of the marriage.
Moreover, some parts of the society still have prejudice and discrimination against any sorts of things regarding interracial issues. For this I'd like to share some polls carried out about this topic:
That'd be all for now... till next time. World peace!
my source of the polls:

honestly, i didn't understand what this graft about,..hahaa...
anybody can help me how to understand it?
really...
well, they're mostly surveys conducted in US
They're doing some research on interracial marriage in the States, mostly among the African-American and the white people...
the first chart shows that the number of intercultural marriage increases each year..... see it rises there? ^_^
it is between the 70s up to 2005..
meanwhile, the second graph is a poll, where the public give opinion whether they agree or disagree between the relationship of interracial couples.. the dark green one indicates disagreement while the lighter green indicates people who agree to the topic. It is conducted to show how many people who agree or disagree with the idea of interracial couple to date according to the years they were borne. We can see that as the years increase, the number of people who disagree decreases and the number of people who agree increases.
the third graph is pretty similar to the second one, but it is conducted from time to time. The verdict is also similar as the second one. As the time increases, the number of people who agree increases and the number of people who disagree decreases.
