[The Volokh Conspiracy] Interesting statistics about interracial marriages:

[Eugene Volokh]

Michael Williams has them, quoting a UPI story from last year: African-American men had white wives 2.65 times more often than black women had white husbands. In other words, in 73 percent of black-white couples, the husband was black. For every 1,000 black women who were married, there were 1,059 black married men. Asian women had white husbands 3.08 times more often than Asian men had white wives. That means just over 75 percent of white-Asian couples featured a white husband and Asian wife. For every 1,000 Asian women with husbands, only 860 Asian men had wives. I haven't checked myself whether the story is accurate, but if it is, it seems noteworthy. -- Posted by Eugene Volokh to The Volokh Conspiracy at 5/4/2004 03:59:25 PM
