They are. They might not be AS common, but they're certainly common enough.
Once upon a time Asian male/white female and white male/black female couplings were far more common than the opposite, the opposite is a pretty recent trend, so it goes to show things change all the time.
THEY ARE NOT. The numbers dont lie. For the amount of blacks/whites living side by side in the entire East-South and Midwest. The numbers are ASTONISHINGLY LOW.
When Asian males married white women, they had no choice as they were imported rail workers and a lack of Asian females drove that trend. It was said that those females faced huge obstacles for doing so.
In Loving v Virginia, the couple were the rarity. Black females only ever married whites till recently. White man/ black women was not the common thing you make it out to seem, in fact it was so rare that under 5000 existed in and up until the 1980s. Only 2% of all Americans were multiracial in 1970.
The numbers are skewed because mainstream perceptions are skewed on what is and is not attractive.
Draw those conclusions for me then. That was the point of the thread. Riddle me this........WHY ARE LATINOS MARRYING OUT EVENLY? WITH EVERY RACE.
When a Hispanic man does/ a woman is just as likely. Now Asians/whites/blacks don't do that! Is their absolutely no meaning to over 80% of all IR pairings being white women/black men? Or 70+ % of all IR Asians/White being skewed to white men as well? BULL!
It says a lot of things. The numbers also match THE 2 LEAST GROUPS TO GET MARRIED. But I'm spinning? Its liberal hogwash like not looking at the situation for what it really is , that's kept this country the way it is.
Just listen to polls on how women feel about Asian men. They did surveys and they rated TERRIBLY in being rated attractive outside their race. Black women rated even worse.
To the dominate European culture of America those 2 groups aren't ideally fitting the mold of what is attractive.
That mold is represented in TV. Slender face, thin body, petite, narrow nose, long hair, high cheekbones for women.
For Men. Tall, Slender or Athletic, Strong Jaw, Narrow nose and Full Lips.
NOW WHO DO THOSE STEREOTYPES MATCH? They dont look nothing like Asian men.....nor Black women.
Yet they do resemble some Asian female traits, and some male black traits and many many Latinos both men and women have those traits.
FACT: This country has assigned value on certain traits that are INHERENTLY European. Since Latino men and Women both have those traits in big numbers, THEY BOTH MARRY OUT EQUALLY.
Dont make accusations , on what I think. Its what America almost as a whole thinks. I just studied it.
Well thanks for stating what has been obvious on the forum- You're pushing the european idea of beauty. Which is fine for the record.
And congrats- take pride in being white, seriously, nothing wrong with that- but you can't disparage against everyone else in the process.
As for marriage rates- not sure of your education level- so I'll keep it short- If Black women decided they only wanted to marry Black men for whatever reason (and we know the oft stated reasons about the shortages of Black men) that would also lead to the differences in marriage rates you love to point out. So maybe it's Black women not wanted to marry out rather than other men not wanting to marry Black women.
Mrs Peabody would've rapped your knuckles raw for your repeated mispellings, poor grammar, punctuation and such.
No your axe to grind concerns inter-racial dating - whites marrying blacks. You're trying to posit essentially that either black women are inferior or unacceptable. That's it. Maybe Black women don't want to marry white men. Did you ever consider that? There is also a much higher percentage of Asian women marrying white men than White women marrying Asian men. It's the conclusions you're trying to draw that are problematic.
YES. I have considered whether black women want to marry white men and its an astounding NO. They generally aren't attracted to them. So the numbers are skewed on 2 accounts being as how white men arent attracted to them and black women aren't attracted to white men. Which is why only 2% of all black women are married to a White male. { speaking generally}
Picture living, working and going to school with whites as a black and having ONLY 2% or 2 out of every 100 not mixing? 98 out 100 don't mix? IN America? Which other country on this hemisphere has a situation like that?
This country has deep beliefs on things like this and your pretending they dont exist.
The fact of the matter is that segregation is probably worst today than in 1950. Its just code named. Good neighborhood, bad neighborhood, good school, bad school.

For the record. I'm Latino. Latinos have characteristics that both white and black consider attractive. Slender faces and larger hips. Darker skin for men and Slender faces. Is it a wonder that we date out/marry out EVENLY. We are evenly considered attractive to all races.

Its a combo of black women being fiercely loyal to marrying black men and mainstream society dictating ideals of beauty. That would work if black women were getting married at all to black/yellow/brown or green men.

You've obviously never tested that theory in Texas.
