“Is Love Colorblind?” Updated by a Third of a Century
3rd February 2024
Back in 1997, I wrote a long article “Is Love Colorblind?” about how in the 1990 Census, 72% of black-white marriages featured a black husband and a white wife while 72% of white-Asian marriages featured a white husband and an Asian wife. Black-Asian marriages were rare but almost always featured a black husband and Asian wife (e.g., Tiger Woods’ parents).
What has happened since then?
