I don't know if there are any statistics supporting this. It may just be what you have noticed so it's difficult to speculate a reason why - it may be just a coincidence. People love who they love and sometimes it has nothing to do with race.

why do less white men marry black women than black men with white women

That's great Chris! You're right as long as you love the person for who she is...race shouldn't matter. Thank you for contributing your thoughts!

I am very attracted to the opposite race, and long as its a loving relationship I will be happy

-- Contributed by: Chris

i believe that it does not matter what you look like as long as you are happy. i have a mixed son whom is being called a mixed boy by black kids because of the color of his mom! i chose to be with a black man because he treats me better then any other man i have been with not because he is black.

and one thing to add to what i said, as you can see most of the comments are made by white women that have dated/dating/married to an african american man.

i dont think it matters at all what color you are. where i come from, though, (the dirtiest of the south) white women and african american men. are very very common. and african american women are very interested in white men but most white men find there to be something wrong with that.

what does it matter what the color is? as long as you love somebody no matter what they look like or what the background is/ the only reason how i know is because my mother is and my dad is black and i am bi-racial and yeah peole look at me stupid but i lift my head up high and do what i do best focus on me and thats all i can do at this point.what i am saying is everybody should be respected equally

i agree with the ashley! skin is nothing but your flesh and what gets dirty ! people just don't understand that it's just a color and it has nothing to do with what or whjo makes you happy it's about how you feel on the inside but, i guess to me there is nothing wrong with it :)

Maybe people wouldn't put all these pro interracial articles up if people would stop making all the negative assumptions regarding interracial marriages. I am a white woman married to a wonderful black man and we have a beautiful daughter. Our marriage is the same as everyone else's out there. We don't even see color in our relationship everyone else might but they're not in this relationship are they? So their opinions don't really matter to us. We love each other and in the end that's all that really counts.

I don't see why so many people are against interracial relationships. Is skin color really that important when determining love? I think not...

This statistics forgot to mention that more South Asian (Indian) male married to White and to other race compared to South Asian (Indian) female. Even though inter-racial marriage among South Asians are pretty rare.

differences? we whites have enough diversity in our own race from russians to italians, from english to turkish ppl we dont need other races to have beautiful differences in our relationship

dogs also bleed the same color

People need to stop putting pro interracial propagand and be real! atte white girl

-- Contributed by: etoska

personallly i find that the differences make it even more BEAUTIFUL and APPEALING, BUT THIS IS MY OPINION ON THIS. I do know that it can have it`s CHALLENGES. We all BLEED THE SAME COLOR(REGARDLESS OF OUR SKIN COLOR) AND GOD LOVES US ALL. SOMETIMES WE CAN`T HELP WHO WE LOVE OR FALL IN LOVE WITH.

There are a couple different studies listed in this article:

Is the statistic acurate? Where is it from?

Angelca, what else can you do? You love your man, you have to stand by him. Your parents, if they love you. . .will come around.

I'm a hispanic women (brought up with a very latin family) and my boyfriend is a caucasian man (brought up in a very white family)- from two complete different worlds and we can't get enough from each other.. Yes! The differences are very obvious but we see past all of that.

i think that interacial realationships is alright since racisim isnt any longer in play. But since many people still havent gotten used to the fact that the color diffrence is not the same, the public still finds it to be quit occward. For example i'm a hispanic woman myself and i cant stand the fact that i see many white women with black men. I was raised with minorities like myself around me and where i come from marrying into a white family and being a minority,upsets not just me, but my friends, family,and people in my community. And if it doesnt upset them, it just isint reaspected at all.

Angelca, I'm glad to hear that you have found a man that interests you, but I also understand your dilemma. I suggest that you start dating him but don't tell your parents immediately. Make sure that you really do like this man before confronting your parents. Once it's time to tell your parents, describe all the great things about him and how happy he makes you. Also try and have your parents meet him so that they can see for themselves. Hopefully they will like him as you do and be glad for your happiness.

Growing up in Houston, I never thought I would have dated a white guy; however, I was recently introduced to a new co-worker, a white man, originally from Boston, Massachusetts. His accent, his personality, looks-there isn't one thing about him I am not attracted to. We hit off right away, & I want to date him but I'm afraid of what my parents would think & say. I'm just at a lost.

I never imagined dating, let alone, marrying a Latino man until I met, got to know, and fell in love with my husband. He is the most caring man I know, and I feel every day that he appreciates, values, respects, and loves me. He has brought a lot of fun and simplicity into my life. Before him, I was always trying to figure out if the man in my life really loved me, but with my husband, I don't have to think about it; I know.

I'm a white girl, I met the most fabulous black man via a interracial dating site: interracialmatch, and we have been together for more than a year now. We had our first date over coffee and have been together ever since. I think love is color blind,love has a language that transcends race, so people should not opposed to interracial dating. I'm very happy with my interracial dating.

Thanks for the comment, Scot. I chose to separate Hispanics from Whites because the statistics were different for each group. I also looked at how people likely identify themselves rather than going by strict racial definitions.

-- Contributed by: Rick Fulks

I'm always curious when "Hispanic" is considered a "race" in such contexts as this. That is more of a cross-cultural difference if anything than necessarily a "racial" difference, no?
