This phenomenon of racism goes beyond the realm of interracial marriages or relations.

One other limitation of the study is the fact that the content analysis has relied solely on the interpretation of the researcher.

Abstract

There has been a marked increase in the rate of interracial marriages involving Blacks. In fact, from the 1960 to the 1990 Census, black intermarriages have grown four-fold. It has been surmised that this is brought about by the stronger synthesis between races and the gradual decline in racial discrimination. These suggest that social values have also turned to the more important matters of love over what is perceived by society as "proper." Despite this seemingly encouraging results, the question remains on whether there really has been an improvement in racism against interracial relations from the 1990s to this decade? The research question that has been addressed by this study is as follows: Based on thematic analysis, what are the views on the racial, social or political issues presented in the film jungle fever in the 90s decade? Views on interracial marriage and drug addiction have been presented based on the content analysis of the film jungle fever.
