Playing the safe card or playing the battle card? Comparison of attitudes towards interracial marriages with non-white migrants and transnational adoptees in Sweden
Abstract
This short article compares the attitudes of white Swedes towards interracial marriages with somebody of non-white migrant beginning and a non-white transnational adoptee. The analysis is founded on a survey that is postal follow-up interviews carried out in MalmГ¶, Sweden. Survey results show that transnational adoptees aren’t chosen as marriage lovers by white Swedes into the exact same degree as white Swedes. Furthermore, the distinctions in attitudes towards marriages with migrants and non-white adoptees are maybe not statistically significant. Interviewees used the thought of social differences to spell out the attitudes towards intermarriages with migrants. Nevertheless, this is 
extremely contested whenever dealing with the attitudes towards non-white transnational adoptees. These outcomes reveal exactly exactly exactly how race and visible distinctions perform a part in attitudes toward interracial marriages in Sweden.
