Interracial marriage rates are at an all-time high in the United States, with the percentage of couples exchanging vows across the color line more than doubling over the last 30 years. But Asian-Americans are bucking that trend, increasingly choosing their soul mates from among their own expanding community.
From 2008 to 2010, the percentage of Asian-American newlyweds who were born in the United States and who married someone of a different race dipped by nearly 10 percent, according to a recent analysis of census data conducted by the Pew Research Center. Meanwhile, Asians are increasingly marrying other Asians, a separate study shows, with matches between the American-born and foreign-born jumping to 21 percent in 2008, up from 7 percent in 1980.
Asian-Americans still have one of the highest interracial marriage rates in the country, with 28 percent of newlyweds choosing a non-Asian spouse in 2010, according to census data. But a surge in immigration from Asia over the last three decades has greatly increased the number of eligible bachelors and bachelorettes, giving young people many more options among Asian-Americans. It has also inspired a resurgence of interest in language and ancestral traditions among some newlyweds.
Same here Tim. Seems like Asians are doing the same and kudo's to them for it. Nothing better to see than folks sticking together despite the overwhelming political correctness war to mix. I love waking up every morning and seeing my beautiful children who resemble me in skin tone and facial features.

Exactly. It's good to see there are still folks out there who haven't bought into the "diversity" and "multiculturalism" agenda. I come from Irish/Italian stock and I do not wish to dilute it!
My kids will not have identity issues and they will be taught to be proud of their heritage so they can pass it down to their children.
I'll stick with White women. The international standard of beauty, and intelligent to boot!
LOL...it's more likely that you'll stick to whatever you can get.
Some of us have choices.
"International Standard of Beauty?" LMAO....gotta love it.
Anyway, i don't know what the big deal is. There will be enough Asian women to go around if a white dude (or any other kind of dude) wants one just that bad. There always is. That is...for guys that have something on the ball.
If you're a lame, you'll have to take whatever you can scrounge up.

Would you disown your kid if they married out of their race??
You think about race too much. Why do you see differences in people before similarities?
