Do most people really prefer their race or is just an illusion? Studies prove otherwise?


I am one of those persons that was very convinced the vast majority of people prefer their own race until I actually start educating myself.

Apparently according to multiple studies the majority of people actually prefer to date outside their race. Now these studies are based on ONLINE DATING in United States of America, Great Britain and Australia and they are based on millions of online interaction.

According to the data, the majority of Australian singles are looking for love outside their own ethnic group, which reflects a similar cross racial dating pattern in the United States — the data there showed that all men preferred Asian women, except for Asian men!

It’s apparent that online daters in the UK prefer to date outside of their own ethnicity. This trend is also true for the United States — across the pond, U. S. daters most preferred Asian women, except for Asian men. Talk about shocking!

Are you shocked? surprised? do you think this has a lot to do with the study being about online dating? is it different in offline dating? What do you think?

I'd also like to apologize to everyone that I told that white men almost exclusively prefer to date their own race.
Apparently my own experience is not the general rule in this case as the studies show white men are probably the least likely to be interested in dating their own race.
I'M SORRY!
