The number of mixed-race babies is higher than it's ever been, according to a new report by the Pew Research Center.
"One-in-ten babies living with two parents were multiracial in 2013," Pew's Gretchen Livingston wrote for Fact Tank. "Up from just 1 percent in 1970."
According to Pew, Americans who are less than a year old are significantly more likely to be born multiracial than those aged 18 years or older, especially when it comes those who are a mix of white and black ethnicities.
In context, this isn't too surprising. As Herb Scribner reported in April, interracial marriage is more common now than ever before in American history.
