Excited
Let’s play a game!
I’m going to ask you a bunch of questions. They’re all about interracial dating & marriage. After you’re done, I’ll show you the answers, according to a Nov. 2004 article from Asian-Nation. (I haven’t been able to find more current data. If you have some, please let me know!)
Click on the “Vote” button after each question to see how other people have voted.
The actual statistics after the jump.
Are you ready for the answers?
Really? Are you ready?
Wait for it…
Waaaait for it…
According to Asian-Nation, the statistics are:
- Which Asian American ethnic group is most likely to have a white spouse (husband or wife)?
- Japanese
- Japanese
- Which Asian American ethnic group is most likely to marry within their own ethnic group?
- Korean
- Korean
- Which Asian American ethnic group is most likely to marry another Asian American ethnic group?
- Japanese
- Japanese
I think the divergence of people’s votes vs actual statistics from Asian-Nation are really interesting. Our votes reflects our own experiences and biases. Also, since these statistics are several years old, perhaps things have changed and our votes are more accurate now. Hmmm.
Thanks for playing!

Americanized Asian Males should categorically assume that Americanized Asian Females do NOT have their backs until the female has proven otherwise.
You can always tell the Americanized Asian Female: loud, obnoxious, over-compensating, over-bearing, overly gregarious, has the over-burning desire to fit into white American culture while simultaneously shunning anything Asian about her (including her alienage), etc...
As soon as they open their mouths I can predict their dating preferences; mentally, I then show them my "talk to the hand, cuz the face ain't listening" gesture. I am like, "get the hell outta my face, you Asian Male Hater - go watch the Joy Luck Club again." I then have to laugh at them and roll my eyes, like what you would to your annoying kid sister when she does something ridiculous. Give her a hug and then push her away.

Fun game. However, I think in general interracial dating and marriage comes down to how much each of us goes outside of our comfort zone. I think a key to building a stronger community is for people to reach out and learn about each other. I speak from personal experience as I am in a mixed marriage.

I DEMAND A RECOUNT.
I voted for Vietnamese women marrying outside their race because Vietnamese men kill each other.
