What is somewhat unsettling, however, is not that interracial marriages occur; it’s the disparity by which Asian men and Asian women choose spouses of a different race."
This is for my politically correct, individualist minded fellows:
"Among the most influential female Asian American writers, it is self-defeating to speculate or even comment upon the individual reasons for their mate choices. People fall in love with other people for a variety of reasons, trivial to everyone except for the two intimates. Yet when one considers these women as a group, it is hard not to feel as if a conscious decision has been made at the intersection of marriage and race. As the group that comprises one of the loudest and most permanent voices among the Asian American community—a community that is in sore need of voices—these women can be interpreted, rightly or wrongly, as having decided as a collective that white men are superior marriage partners."

From my experience, and conversations with Asians, having a White husband is seen as a symbol of success and acceptance in the Western world.
It is inevitable that there will be posters here who will say "We are individuals with individual needs, and we are attracted to our own unique traits. We are special snowflakes and there are no others alike!"
However, as mentioned above, when you look at behavioral traits as a whole, and as a group, there is more depth and significance.
What are your thoughts?
"Asians marrying non-Hispanic Whites comprise the greatest proportion of intermarriages in the United States.7 8 Additionally, Asian/White intermarriages in the U.S. have increased in recent decades for all Asian ethnicities."
This race hierarchy view correlates with Asian women marrying Whites in contrast to Blacks.
