John Quiñones is an American television journalist best known as the longtime host of the ABC hidden-camera show What Would You Do?. With a career spanning decades, he's been a respected figure in broadcast journalism, known for highlighting ethical dilemmas, social justice issues, and the voices of underrepresented communities.

The show not only entertains but educates, sparking necessary conversations about racism, injustice, and social responsibility. Its impact lies in challenging us to reflect on our values and asking ourselves the powerful question: What would you do? It’s a meaningful reminder of the importance of standing up for what’s right.

I watched a series with the title "Interracial couple discriminated against l First broadcast on 5/30/2014 | WWYD" is captivating and interesting to discuss with.  You could have watched its video on youtube here

In 1969, public support for interracial marriage in the United States was alarmingly low. According to Gallup polling data from that period, only 20% of Americans approved of marriages between Black and White individuals, while a staggering 73% disapproved.

This disapproval reflected deeply ingrained racial prejudices and the lingering legacy of segregation and slavery. Interracial relationships, particularly Black-White unions, were often viewed as taboo, socially unacceptable, or even threatening to the social order by many Americans.

The low support rate in 1969 came just two years after a pivotal moment in U.S. civil rights history — the 1967 Supreme Court decision in Loving v. Virginia.

This landmark case struck down all remaining anti-miscegenation laws in 16 states, declaring that laws banning interracial marriage were unconstitutional. The decision was a monumental legal victory, but it did not immediately translate into widespread social acceptance. Most Americans were still resistant to the idea, revealing the deep divide between legal equality and societal attitudes.

"I love watching WWYD at least once in a week due to the show gave me everything including the joy of learning American accent which can be very challenging. Its stunning and incredible TV Show"

The opposition was not uniform across the country. Disapproval was especially high in the South, where racial segregation and Jim Crow laws had been most entrenched. Cultural traditions, fear of social ostracism, and religious beliefs all contributed to the resistance. Among older and more conservative populations, support was significantly lower than among younger, more liberal individuals.

Over the decades, public opinion has shifted dramatically. By 1991, Gallup reported that 48% of Americans approved of interracial marriage. A major turning point came in the 21st century. In 2011, for the first time, Gallup found that over 80% of Americans supported interracial marriage.

In its 2021 poll, that number rose to 94%, showing a near-complete reversal of attitudes compared to 1969. This change reflects broader societal trends toward acceptance, diversity, and inclusivity.

Several factors contributed to this shift. Increased representation of interracial couples in media, greater social integration, and changing demographics have all played a role. As younger, more diverse generations replaced older ones, tolerance and acceptance of racial differences became more widespread. Interracial marriages themselves became more common — in 1967, only about 3% of all U.S. marriages were interracial, but by 2020, that number had grown to about 19%, according to the Pew Research Center.

Despite this progress, challenges remain. Some interracial couples still face discrimination, microaggressions, or lack of family support. Nonetheless, the journey from 20% approval in 1969 to over 90% today is a powerful indicator of social change.

In conclusion, the 1969 figure of 20% approval for interracial marriage marked a time of rigid racial attitudes. But over the past five decades, American society has undergone a significant transformation. Legal decisions, cultural evolution, and generational change have helped foster a broader acceptance of racial diversity in romantic relationships. The data tell a story of progress — one that continues to unfold.

Its cool, right?
