What Do You Know About Interracial Dating & Marriage?

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
  • Which Asian American ethnic group is most likely to marry within their own ethnic group?
    • Korean
  • Which Asian American ethnic group is most likely to marry another Asian American ethnic group?
    • 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!
