BocoDragon said:I dont know about black female/white male couples, but in the related issue of asian female/white male couples, I live in Vancouver (a.k.a. Hongkouver, asian immigration capital). Asian female/white male combinations outnumber white female/asian male combinations 100:1.
Sometimes demographics cant explain away obvious race preferences for males or females.
That doesn't disprove what I'm saying though. Demographics are a huge factor in predicting interracial dating. The other one, which I glossed over for the sake of brevity, is cultural and it's fairly complex because it's so nuanced. I don't think I fully understand it but I have some ideas on it. For example with interracial dating, a female has to accept the males culture before she will consider dating him. Maybe white women aren't as accepting of Asian culture as Asian women are of white culture. I know this will come off as very non-PC and ruffle some feathers but most of the Asian men who do date white women are very "white," and aren't as culturally Asian as their visible ethnicity would imply. I don't feel it is accurate to say that Asian women in general prefer white males because, while I've heard some Asian women say they will only date white men, it is not as if an Asian woman living in China would automatically prefer a white male simply because he is a white male. It's more complex than that.
