I think it's more the other way around.
My observation, and I believe this is backed up by research, is that black women are more willing to date outside their race than other races are willing to date black women.
But yeah, people generally date within their race.
- hn_ 12y agoI got curious and did a real quick google scholar search. The opposite is true. https://dx.doi.org/10.1111/j.1533-8525.2008.01135.x https://dx.doi.org/10.1111/j.1533-8525.2008.01135.x >The theory of African American alienation is upheld, as African Americans are generally less willing to interracially date than other races and are especially less willing to date European Americans.
- brandonmenc 12y agoNot being able to read the study, it's not clear that it refutes my statement: > black women are more willing to date outside their race than other races are willing to date black women because both that statement and, "African Americans are generally less willing to interracially date than other races," could be true simultaneously.
