What are the statistics on diversity in all spheres of American lives these days?

And what about inter-/racial marriage?
Despite attempts by the racists and their spokespersons, the USA continues to diversify.
Keep on fighting folks.

1. Marginalizing the opposition - the only rational solution - will not change them

and they are virulent and violent. I don't see the progress we're making. Free-thinking people are scared into silence. Even if insurrectionists are behind bars, I don't see this issue softening. It might get worse as they are shunned, as they retreat into their bunkers, as they lose economic opportunity.

2. U.S. Approval of Interracial Marriage at New High of 94%

Also, from https://www.pewresearch.org/social-trends/2017/05/18/1-trends-and-patterns-in-intermarriage/

Intermarriage varies by race and ethnicity

Overall increases in intermarriage have been fueled in part by rising intermarriage rates among black newlyweds and among white newlyweds. The share of recently married blacks with a spouse of a different race or ethnicity has more than tripled, from 5% in 1980 to 18% in 2015. Among recently married whites, rates have more than doubled, from 4% up to 11%.

At the same time, intermarriage has ticked down among recently married Asians and remained more or less stable among Hispanic newlyweds. Even though intermarriage has not been increasing for these two groups, they remain far more likely than black or white newlyweds to marry someone of a different race or ethnicity. About three-in-ten Asian newlyweds (29%) have a spouse of a different race or ethnicity. The same is true of 27% of Hispanics.

For newly married Hispanics and Asians, the likelihood of intermarriage is closely related to whether they were born in the U.S. or abroad. Among the half of Hispanic newlyweds who are immigrants, 15% married a non-Hispanic. In comparison, 39% of the U.S. born did so. The pattern is similar among Asian newlyweds, three-fourths of whom are immigrants. While 24% of foreign-born Asian newlyweds have a spouse of a different race or ethnicity, this share rises to 46% among the U.S. born.

3. Very interesting

There is more diversity and more acceptance of diversity

4. Much more diversity in TV ads

I've been noticing how much more diverse TV ads have become, including portrayals of mixed marriages/families.

5. Indeed

A noticeable increase

6. If you are also asking about more diversity in living here is the Dissimilarity Index.

https://www.censusscope.org/about_dissimilarity.html

To help explain: "A dissimilarity index of 0 indicates conditions of total integration under which both groups are distributed in the same proportions across all neighborhoods. A dissimilarity index of 100 indicates conditions of total segregation such that the members of one group are located in completely different neighborhoods than the second group. Neither extreme value is generally seen in most cities and metropolitan areas. Rather the value typically lies somewhere in-between 0 and 100."

And:

"If a city's white-black dissimilarity index were 65, that would mean that 65% of white people would need to move to another neighborhood to make whites and blacks evenly distributed across all neighborhoods."

Here is LA:
