Maybe this is just a "correlation vs. causation" error?
Think about humans. For Chinese males, it is very likely to mate up with Chinese girls. That's not just a matter of availability (in China, there live mostly Chinese-looking people o_o), but also a phenomenon overseas, I believe. You have a lot more in common, similar values and similar cultural perceptions.
PS: This case shall not be construed to address Chinese especially, I'm convinced it works the same with all the similar ethnic groups and even subgroups.

- patall 10y agoWhat shall be the "correlation vs. causation" error here? I mean, if you draw an analog here, it would mean that Chinese people could get children of any race but those would still pair up. The birds do not know which type they are but still pair up with the different morph, so its something intrinsic inherited from the genotype that influences the sexual phenotype.
