There are asymmetries in interracial marriages. Black women/white men are much rarer than black man/white woman. The opposite is true for Asian/white marriages.

I saw her perform in a Broadway revival of “Showboat”.

Notice that more and more television commercials are now involving inter racial couples...........

As a side note, when was the last time you ever saw a black couple with an adopted white child?

On the flipside, liberals call people racist for being attracted to another race or dating outside their race. The tackiest liberal bullies tell whites married to non-whites with interracial children you’re still a racist, you still have to check your privilege and prove you’re not a racist.

Liberal bullies trying to socially engineer the dating world won’t stop considering whites evil bigots for existing.

The liberal bigotry behind this movement is evil. They consider white men by definition the epitome of evil, and whites in general the source of all bad in the world. That the worst thing the dating app could do is result in some of them finding each other and making white children. Encouraging interracial dating to “dilute” whites is liberal racism. But they’ll still call for systematic discrimination against whites and humiliation of them in diversity training at school and work, no matter who they date.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they take a page from the Chinese playbook and downrank dating profiles that are white, conservative and otherwise not politically correct. (Sesame Credit in China does this.)

I think young single super models should be forced to date married middle aged guys. Female supermodels that is.

Problem solved. ;)

Who pays for these moronic “studies” anyways?

Dating applications can allow users to fall into their own racial biases while searching for a partner, a new study says.

No. Overwhelmingly, people date and marry people from their own race, social class etc etc. That has been the case for as long as dating has been going on. Got nothing to do with “dating apps”

But in their study, researchers from schools like Cornell University say the “sexual racism” that plagues apps like Grindr, Tinder and Bumble can be stamped out with a few simple changes.

It’s not sexual racism to date someone who makes you happy.

The end goal, the study says, is to promote more diverse pairings on the dating sites.

Nope. End goal is to find someone who is compatible with you, that you will be happy with in a relationship. You are not out there to sacrifice your life/happiness in some kind of jihad to promote “diverse pairings”. All this should be obvious to anyone apart from these so called “academics”.

I guess I’m slightly racist in that I’ve talking with a 21 years my Jr. Filipina for the last 4 years. Since I’m close to the age of 50 I simply say I don’t want to start out having more kids. She happens to have two kids and I’m ok with that. (7 and 9)

Really though although she is absolutely smoking hot and seemingly good marriage material... Deep down if I had a need to have more kids, I’d probably go with an American woman who is of the same race as me. This is my preference. If it makes me a pig so be it.

The Filipina seems fine not having more kids. Who knows we might just end up together. I’ll need to go over and visit one of these days.

I actually believe that human beings are hardwired to prefer the “same”. IOWs, they gravitate to someone of the same race. Also, similar religions, or similar political viewpoints.

Exactly! The more you have in common with someone the more likely you are to have a successful romantic relationship.

My chinese adopted daughter likes to remind me that bad Asuan driving is a sterotype... and in fact... Asuan women drivers are some of the best.

I counter that her researching such was expected given she is Asian... She thsn hides her chuckle from her round eye dad.

While I know several couples who met online I can’t imagine using such a service.

Luckily I’ve been married for 34 years and don’t plan any changes. If wifey were to leave or pass away, lovely and intelligent ladies of all ages are like the leaves on the trees, there are plenty of them.

I am happily married, but no matter how attractive and charming the potential non-white date might be, I would NOT risk dating because of the potential riots and hell-raising by other members of her tribe.

I wouldn't have turned down a date with Marilyn McCoo back in the day.

She was,in fact,very pretty indeed...as was Whitney Houston.Of course physical attractiveness,nice though it is,is only one of a million factors.I'd much prefer to marry a "plain" woman with whom I have many things in common that a gorgeous woman who's from a different world.

That is obvious to everyone apart from “academics” apparently. I interact with lots of Chinese everyday and I’d say at least 98% of Chinese marry other Chinese, and they have the strongest marriages and the strongest families and their kids do better at school than even whites.

Over 40 years ago I was in a college class with a bunch of black women, some dumbbell race-based elective and I needed the hours to graduate.

I was the only white man in the class with a couple of white women and about 6 black women. The blacks told me in no uncertain terms they hated white men and that black women had a name for white men who wanted to date them.

“Hunters”.

What are they trying to engineer here? Are they trying to inflict guilt on people who prefer to date their own kind?

How 'bout pairing rich New York liberals with poor rural Appalachian evangelicals? Isn't that "diversity" too?

A man wants to date a hot piece of ass.

If she looks like Rihanna or Candace Owens he will take their sweetness over someone like Pelosi or Hellary.

Race ain’t got anything to do,with sweet ass

“Over the years I’ve had some pretty harrowing experiences,” Keodara told The Guardian. “You run across these profiles that say ‘no Asians’ or ‘I’m not attracted to Asians’. Seeing that all the time is grating; it affects your self-esteem.”

This is a reprint from the UK Guardian so "Asian" means Muslim.
