Interracial dating statistics
Blackstate has some interesting, counterintuitive, figures about interracial dating in America.
Asian women are most likely to marry outside their race, with 20.13% marrying white men and 1.12% marrying black men. Asian men are less diverse with 6.45% marrying white women and .28% marrying black women.
Black men marry almost identically to Asian men. 6.83% marry white women and .87% Asians. Black women are more conservative with only 3.16% marrying white men and .19% marrying Asians.
White men are the second least open group with a minuscule .24% marrying black women and a hardly impressive 1.27% marrying Asians – though that is the most commonplace interracial Asian relationship and represents more than a fifth of all Asian women’s marriages. White women win the prize for most racially homogeneous long-term relationships, .55% marry black men and .35% Asians.
I would have guessed these numbers completely differently. Even in 2009 98.49% of white men and 99.10% of white women marry people of their own race. It’s not much of a melting pot.
Possible reasons why? I’m not going to touch that with a barge pole. However, Jen Kwok does make a solid argument for dating Asian men in this YouTube clip.
I think the big thing w/ interracial dating is the culture difference. Just how you’re raised effects how you interact with different people. For ex. I’m a white female from south Texas, so I don’t think I’d necessarily be compatible with a white guy from New York. Nothing to do with race, just the culture.
@Sally – I agree, but the important thing is deciding on compatibility after you’ve met someone, not before. On another note – have you recorded a Vooji profile yet? If so let me know, if not, let me know why.
