Maybe it's the historical fact that women generally have gone for men who are good providers - rich and educated men are more likely to be good providers.
Why don't you see many rich and/or educated (they do exist) black guys with asian women then?

Its not colorblind. Its not about class. Its driven almost entirely by an underlying Eurocentrism and/or pro-white propaganda in the media. Its about status.

Because the city is 48% white, and 6% black. So exactly what ratio are you looking for once you've taken into account affluence of prospective partner?

I've seen them quite often actually. There are a number of black athletes with asian wives, I stood behind one in the tampa airport two years ago.

My good college buddy is also black with an asian wife.

Here in the US there are plenty of white girls that do things to be skinny or petite....to make their breasts bigger or smaller in some cases....they tan, they dye thier hair and wear colored contacts and so on and so forth.

Nothing like the Model Minority Myth in an Asian thread. The Most affluent "Race" would be Whites. Asians are not all Female. Which is what we are talking about.

When it comes to education and affluence, whites are closest to Asians. It only makes sense that Asians are more likely to be with whites - there are more whites to choose from, and statistically speaking, those whites are likely to be richer and more educated.

Actually, Asians have a higher average income than whites. The most affluent race would be whites, because there's a lot more of us. Aggregate vs. per capita, yo.

Quit trying to justify this BS,"Yo" There is a popular image of Asian American students as the "model minority." The stereotype suggests that Asian Americans are more academically, economically, and socially successful than any other racial minority groups. Most people believe that Asian American students are more successful than other racial minority students because of their supposedly unique Asian cultural values that emphasize hard work, strong family values, and/or stronger belief in the American meritocracy (Wu, 2002). Contrary to these popular beliefs, the overly positive caricature of Asian Americans as the model minority is false. Further, this inaccurate and distorted comparison leads to adverse effects in the lives of Asian American students (Chun, 1995; Wong & Halgin, 2006). There are Many Examples That Debunk the Model Minority Myth 1. The model minority myth ignores the heterogeneity of Asian American groups and their significantly varied levels of success. While many South and East Asian American groups such as Asian Indians and Japanese have been successful in receiving high school, bachelors, and advanced degrees, most Southeast Asian Americans including Hmong, Cambodians, and Laotians never finished high school-at times, rates comparable if not lower than other racial minority groups (U.S. Census Bureau, 2004). 2. The model minority myth neglects history and the role of selective immigration of Asian Americans. The 1965 Immigration Act significantly changed the demography of Asian Americans in the U.S. today. In particular, the Act allowed a greater number of educationally and economically successful Asian American professionals who could "contribute" to the American society (Takaki, 1993). Like many other Americans, academic success of Asian American students was correlated with income and educational levels of their parents. 3. The model minority myth fails to capture the more complex representation of Asian Americans in the education system. The myth suggests that Asian American students are over represented in the U.S. higher education. In actuality, the National Commission on Asian American and Pacific Islander Research in Education (2008) recently found that the increasing presence of Asian Americans in higher education parallels similar increases of other racial minority groups. Further, Asian American student populations concentrate in a small percentage of institutions, giving a false impression of high enrollment in higher education overall. In fact, Asian American students were more likely to be enrolled in community colleges than in either public or private four-year colleges.

Yeah, not all of us are quite as obsessed as you are regarding this subject.

The statistics out there state that Asians are more likely to have a college degree, and that their average income is higher.

Breaking my own rules here but I thought I just take a dump on this ..
African Attainment Rates: According to the U.S census, since the 1990's when the Journal of Blacks inhigher Education revealed that continental Africans have the highest educational rates in the U.S, Africans immigrants to the U.S. have continued to be the most highly educated group of people in the U.S.[9]They have also been shown to be more educated than all other immigrant groups including Asian Americans that have long been held as the model minority.[10] Their educated attainment rates surpass any native-born ethnic groups including White Americans and Asian Americans and African Americans [11] This has contributed to the large brain drain on the African contient.[12] Even though they are the most educated group, they were the hardest hit by the recession that began in 2007.[1


Amazing what happens when you don't kidnap, enslave a people, and systematically destroy their culture over 100s of years...

So, I thought i'd just point that out.

Considering there is a good sized African community her in the Bay Area. It is pretty telling (that the unemployment rate is high when generally in this recession educated people are doing better).
