Interracial Marriage: Which Groups Are More Likely to Wed? - DiversityInc.com

Asian women have consistently topped the group that marries non-Asian men. They favour white men more than Asian men.  According to recent statistics 80 percent of American born Asian women marry white while 20 percent of US born Asian marry foreign born Asian.
Latinos like theirother Latinos best  but intermarriage to US whites has increase 8% in a decade. According to the research 12% more Latinos and 17% Latinas born in the US are marrying Latinos outside of the US.
While there is a perception by black women that Black men marry outside of their race more often it is not true. Blacks are only three times as likely to marry outside of their race than others. Perhaps the blacks that marry outside of their race are public figures hence the public perception.
  One of the reasons why Blacks stick to their own race could be because visually Blacks are more distinctly diverse that other groups. Most of the other groups Asian, Latinos, East Indians may share similar skin colour, hair texture  and facial features whereas Blacks stand out by these same traits and perhaps that could be the reason that others are a little less adventurous to dating or marrying blacks and blacks (especially black women)  might also be more leery about seeing other races as possible partners. However as time goes on and our world become more multicultural people may get to know each other better and black might just be the necessary ingredient that will make the planet more beautiful.
