The purpose of this study is to investigate what is most important of common race or common ethnicity in the choice of who you want to date. This study highlights how white swedes select and reason about whom one wants to date based on common race and common ethnicity. Gordon Allport's theory of Social categorisation was chosen as a theoretical starting point, based on the purpose of this study. The analysis is based on 20 quantitative surveys and 6 qualitative interviews. The overall data that was collected focused on who you want to date in terms of common race and common ethnicity, but the surveys leaned towards the selection between common race or common ethnicity and the interviews leaned towards the reasoning behind the selection between race and ethnicity. The result shows that the majority of the respondents could consider to date anyone regardless of common race or common ethnicity. But having to choose between common race and common ethnicity, common ethnicity was more important.
