I'm amazed to note that black women face negative scores from men of all races, including their own! That sounds really disturbing, at least to a non-American.

Asian men and Black women are similar in that they aren't married out to other races at the same rate as their gender opposites.

  That's because Asians are perceived as feminine, while blacks are seen as masculine. Feminine men and masculine women aren't as attractive as masculine men and feminine women.

    What a wonderfully disgusting comment.

  I wonder why Black women aren't married out. I would expect the opposite to be true (Black men not in demand, black women with more options)

    > I wonder why Black women aren't married out. There is in much of Black American culture a significant taboo against Black women marrying (or dating) "out", which I think is significantly influenced by a very long history of black women being viewed as acceptable for casual use, but not marriage, by white men, and the resulting accumulated history of experiences with "dating out". (There are other cultural factors that feed into this, as well.)

Those scores are relative - it means that men on average prefer women of other races. This is a known phenomenon: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0191886910004617 http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0191886910...

  Indeed: active resistance to these cultural norms have range from Black is Beautiful to Baby Got Back. Anyone who is curious about these dynamics can find a rich history of stereotype and resistance to explore.

I'm an American white male who typically finds black women more attractive. You can be infinitesimally less disturbed.
