Most people in the United States say they accept interracial relationships, but a new study of brain activity shows some hidden bias.
Researchers surveyed students at the University of Nebraska — young people, not those who grew up in a more overtly racist time — and recorded their brain activity while they looked at pictures of hundreds of couples.

In a survey of attitudes about relationships, the students reported little disapproval of interracial couples. But photos of interracial couples triggered activity in a part of the brain that registers disgust.
Edit: just re-read. I don't see many myself either other than on tv. But that is pretty telling. They surveyed all races then....i have more to say but I'm driving.
most photos of any couples disgust me. Those poses, fake smiles, faux loyalty togetherness of them turns me off.
