32. "Black women are the least likely to marry outside of their race" In response to In response to 30
The numbers aren't equal..the government does a count. Black men marry outside of black women something like 6 times as much as black women marry others.
This can be explained by the fact that:
1) all men of any group tend to marry outside of that group more than the women. Its because men have more options due to their gender, including more freedoms to break cultural/social traditions.
2) The black aesthetic is not valued when it comes packaged in women. Ie, while dark skin/nappy hair/etc in men is perceived/stereotyped as sexy/dangerous in men, in women it is seen as masculine and/or ugly. In sexist societies, women tend to be judged more by appearance, and if black looks are generally denigrated then black women will not be perceived as attractive to men outside of her group. On the flip side, the white aesthetic is glorified, particularly in women, so black men are more likely to view the white aesthetic as attractive and seek it.
