I found 2 websites taht did research and agree women are less open minded about dating men of other races

“Overall, women of most races preferred to meet men of their own race. Most Caucasian women wanted only to meet Caucasian men, the exceptions being women who were more educated and well-traveled, who considered themselves somewhat “worldly.”

Of all the races, African-American women were the most insistent about wanting to meet only African-American men. But most of those women excluded black men who had recently moved to New England from Africa or the Caribbean.

The one major exception to the finding that women wanted to meet men of their own race was Asian women, a vast majority of whom stated that they strongly preferred meeting non-Asian men.

The primary explanation offered by most Asian women was that they wanted to be matched with tall men, and they insisted that practically all of the Asian men they knew were short. But when I would ask if they would be willing to meet an Asian man if he were tall, most would simply shake their head and say they would rather not.

And what about Indian women? To be honest the sample of Indian women who joined my dating service more than 23 years was too small to determine any general statements about them.

As for men, overall they were far more open to meeting women of other races. ”

“While white men were more open to dating outside their race than white women, both had specific racial preferences. White men preferred Asian and Latino dating partners to African Americans; white women were more likely to exclude Asian men.

Researchers’ analysis of minorities’ racial preferences showed that Asians, African Americans and Latinos are more likely to include whites as possible dates than whites are to include them. This suggests that whites, as the dominant group in the U.S., remain in the privileged position of being able to facilitate or hinder the full incorporation of minorities.”

    It probably has to do with parental acceptance of the man/husband.

    The real issue probably isn’t women dating within race, but her parents expecting her to date within race.

    So racist parents are the blame, not racist women.

    No, I dont agree, but I can only give you my person expierences and those of my friends and what I see.

    And from what I have seen, I think a white woman is a lot more open to dating a black man than a white man would be to dating a black woman.

    Research is research. Make up your own mind as to what you want to date

    I am a white female. I have dated an Eyptian, Ethiopian, a few Mexican guys, and a guy from the Ivory Coast in Africa. My ex-husband was white. I think it is exciting to date men of other races, but after a while the culture differences start to get in the way. I know I should date men from my own culture, since we would have more in common but it is just so boring. I don’t think I am like most women though. I think most women prefer to date their own race.

    For me personally, I disagree. I think it has more to do with what a woman finds attractive in a man. But I do know women who are incredibly racist, and women from certian areas are simply brought up that way…

    Not true. I seen an example of it this morning

  7. Wickidd on January 9th, 2010 at 6:53 am

    men just want pucee

  9. Voice of Reality on January 9th, 2010 at 9:12 am

    I wouldn’t dispute that.

    Though, my woman is Asian and I’m white. So, on a small scale, once can certainly get different results.

  10. Steph F on January 9th, 2010 at 9:17 am

    No, I don’t generalize/stereotype people by their genders. Those who do, are stereotypes, even if they do it to themselves.

  11. Lightning on January 9th, 2010 at 11:24 am

    As a black man who has dated many non-black females, I really do not care who wants and who does not want/prefer African-Americans as romantic partners. My concerns are equal protection under the law, safe streets, and an end to the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, equal economic opportunity, a fair and equitable distribution of the wealth and political power, and a host of others.

    So whatever Imus or whoever thinks about us, it means nothing to me. People are free to have their ethnic and cosmetic preferences without ridicule.

    Women are more likely than men to be judged harshly for dating outside their race. We also may be slightly more likely to defer to our families and communities opinions in these matters.

    It really doesn’t matter much any more. Racial mingling has become very commonplace today. White men approach me every day and many of my black women friends have dated and married outside the race. My own daughter is the result of a mixed relationship.

    People’s opinions and attitudes are changing rapidly. I expect those studies will quickly become outdated.

  13. justanotheranswerer on January 9th, 2010 at 1:28 pm

    Oh, I don’t know about that. I think both are equally likely to date outside of their race nowadays.
