The following graph shows enthusiasm* for the potential of having a close relative marry a white person, a black person, a Hispanic person, and an Asian person. Responses, by race of the respondents, are shown along the horizontal axis. The marital enthusiasm they have for a close relative marrying a person of each race is displayed along the vertical axis. Thus “among whites” shows how whites feel about a close relative marrying a white (87.1), a black (20.0), a Hispanic (33.5), etc. For contemporary relevance, responses are taken exclusively from The Great Awokening (2012 onward):

That each group exhibits the most enthusiasm for intraracial marriage is a satisfying thumb in the eye of our cultural overlords.
That the in-house preference gap is largest among whites jams that thumb in another inch. Despite the ubiquitous portrayals of interracial couplings in the corporate media, most people want sons and daughters and nieces and nephews who look like they do.
Blacks are, relative to others, quite enthusiastic for close relatives marrying in general. With an out-of-wedlock rate of 70%, marriage to anyone at all means you’ve beaten the odds–and your auntie is so proud you did! Asian enthusiasm is correspondingly curbed–of course you’re going to marry someone, and it better be someone we approve of!
Though it will upset Wokians, notice that after enthusiasm for intraracial marriage, each non-white group prefers close relatives marry whites over marrying from another group in the coalition that is not their own. It is going to take a lot of work to extirpate the legacy of white supremacy from the multiracial paradise of the future.

almost all of whom marry within their race, or perhaps others with nearly matching skin color and IQ…
Blacks are enthusiastic about marriage in general, but have lower rates and higher incidence of divorce.

I don’t know. Almost 20% of new babies born are interracial (note that this chart was for 2010-15, so the current numbers are 3-4% higher), and 89% of those fit the description of ‘white + non-white’.


‘Lower Enthusiasm’ is not the exact antithesis of ‘vehemently oppose’, plus the trend is indisputably rising.
It is definitely on the rise. We did a post here a few months ago showing that it is especially the case among young white liberals, who love the idea of interracial relationships.Replies: @Thomm, @Oblivionrecurs, @216
I suspect there is a sizable variation in those numbers based on SES, especially for whites. There is also the fact that these are stated preferences. Actual marriages show the revealed preferences.
Plus, there is considerable data to prove that among 2nd gen Asian-Americans and Hispanic-Americans, intermarriage rates exceed 30% (and over 90% of those are with whites).

There’s a tendency of Hispanics to identify as “multiracial”, and a tendency of people to overrepresent Native American ancestry.
The above GSS data:
Is it all age ranges. The data for under 40 is more powerful, the date for those above the normal age of marriage less so.
The fact remains that about 20% of babies born are multi-racial. 2nd-gen Asian-Americans intermarry at a rate of over 30%. Twinkie is the one who has more data about this, though.

We have to assume the polls adjust for that, since the percent of ‘multiracial’ adults is far too few to account for a majority of Hispanics.
Of course. Only people young enough to marry matter. This data is skewed by older people.

Or maybe blacks are just more tolerant than other groups?
I don’t see any conclusion from this except that whites, as a group, are every bit as close minded as the left makes them out to be, despite white protests to the contrary. Also that whites are everyone else’s second choice and blacks are everyone else’s last choice.
This is a very positive thing. This is what you want to see in any nation. That the newcomers, and their descendants want to marry *toward* the core, or at least have somewhat positiev feelings about their relatives doing it.
Note that along with the above skew toward whites, there is a corresponding skew away from blacks. They are at the bottom of the “not-my-own” groups for all other groups.
If there’s something perplexing it’s why all the intra-race numbers aren’t basically 99%. Ok, i can come up with some plausible reasons for the Hispanic and Asian numbers–basically marrying toward the core, and in the Asian case, “Asian” doesn’t necessary mean “your group”. But what the heck is wrong with whites?
Over 90%? No way man, Asians and Hispanics marry a ton of blacks, Hispanics and especially “other”. I’m actually not even sure they’re less popular than whites, they certainly are not relative to census figures. “Other” is the most popular category relative to population size.
This might be valid for blacks and whites, but probably much less so for Hispanics and Asians.
“Hispanic” includes a large variety of people. Mexican mestizos generally don’t identify with say Puerto Rican mulattoes or black Dominicans and aren’t going to prefer their relatives marry them over non-Hispanics just because they’re Hispanic.
“Asian” includes South and East Asians, and various ethnic groups within these categories. An Indian may prefer their relatives marry Indians, and a Chinese may prefer relatives to marry Chinese, but I’ve never heard of an Indian preferring their relatives marry Chinese because they’re “Asian”, or a Chinese preferring their relatives marry Indians because they’re “Asian”. Same goes for intra-East Asian or intra-South Asian groups. A Chinese may prefer their relatives marry Chinese, but generally they don’t prefer them marrying say Japanese just because they’re “Asian”.
Blacks and whites in the US are so mixed up that they don’t have ethnic identities. But Hispanics, Asians and other still have them. So the groups aren’t really comparable. If Hispanics and Asians were mixed thoroughly into single populations, they’d be comparable. But that hasn’t happened yet.
This correlates pretty closely with what you see for dating preferences on Tinder, basically AA’s are hitting on anything that moves, but nobody is hitting on them in return
I’m not sure that the graph actually means anything. For starters there’s no such race as Hispanic.
And what does Asian mean? It’s too broad to mean anything at all. I’m guessing that most people would feel differently about their daughter deciding to marry a subcontinental Hindu or a nice South Korean Christian boy.
And while race may well be real in a biological sense, it’s also a social construct.
Now, there is a separate issue of tremendous variation within the white race, but that is a topic for another thread.
On the other side of the ledger, Thomm, you’ve got to realize that virtually all those interracial babies (with the exception of a handful of mulattoes) are going to grow up culturally “white”. They themselves will most likely marry white people, and within one or two more generations their descendants will be phenotypically white as well. White people absorb and assimilate Asians and Hispanics quite readily.
And what % of these will do an Obama?Replies: @Audacious Epigone
Most interracial couples I know their children grow up culturally identifying with the minority race, ie., black or hispanic...
I only know one asian and black couple and they too are raising the kids as black, even though they look Japanese (like their father) to me...
Actually these bi-racial kids are turning out to be the most radical...with no loyalty whatsoever to their white heritage.
Look at Obama, he threw his grandparents under the bus (who raised him from the age of 5 years old) even before he became President. He didn't even bother attending his grandmother's funeral when she passed away.
Another example Colin Kaepernick, I don't know his actual racial background but he was adopted and raised by a white family. Again, could care less, no regard or affection whatsoever for the race of people who nurtured him to manhood...
There are numerous other examples but I think you get the point...Replies: @216
Regarding confounding due to socioeconomic status, I had the same thought that such was possible. But then I noted that White distaste for Hispanics and for Asians for family marriage was equivalent. Wouldn’t the Asian engineer rank higher due to his SES? Perhaps the Asian engineer would have been rated as more distasteful than the Hispanic DMV clerk, but his SES pulled him up.
In any case, all of this reminds me of Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner, in which Spencer Tracey tries to reconcile his prejudices when his daughter brings home a successful, nice, handsome Black physician (Poitier).

Among MMC, UMC, and UC Whites, your cousin marrying an Asian or Jew is greatly preferable to him marrying a Hispanic. Hispanics are perceived the same way as Blacks and prole Whites.

White Christians and Black Christians don't have the same culture anywhere, it's almost a stretch to say they practice the same religion. Your counterfactuals are absurd as a predictor for accelerating miscegenation if only for the fact that even if there were culturally palatable inter-racial partners available in great supply (there aren't, regardless of the combination you come up with), there's already a large supply of partners with the same preferable culture who are also of the same race.

I believe that race is both biologically and socially constructed. There’s a world of difference between believing that and believing (as liberals do) that race is purely a social construct.
Hispanic as a race is almost entirely socially constructed. But people apparently think it’s real. I have no idea why.
Hispanic is an ethnicity in my view. The race is indigenous Americas, commonly referred to as American Indian, which includes indigenous peoples of the two American continents. Making Hispanic a race involves accepting only mestizos.
You're changing the original meaning of "race is a social construct" in order to prove.. what exactly? Even without human categorization, Africans, Asians, and Europeans would still be different races. Referring to that fact as a social construct is nonsense.
The extent to which a commenter agrees with me is a reasonably good proxy for how intelligent, thoughtful, and fair-minded they are.
I know that sounds terribly arrogant, but why would I not assume this? It’s not as though I just picked my opinions at random from a basket. I hold the opinions I hold because I have evaluated the evidence and applied the rules of logic to arrive at what I believe to be sound conclusions.
Take the fact that men are better at math than women. I don’t particularly like this fact, but I acknowledge it nonetheless. Relatively few around here are as intellectually honest as that. They cherry pick evidence, hold double standards, and refuse to own up to the logical implications of their premises.

Right, I do the same, more or less. That’s why I said that it was valid for you, but it doesn’t scale up into the larger intellectual arena. It is the same with Twinkie. His solution to cultural and political problems is a recomendation to be more like Twinkie and it works for him, but it is not a solution that can be implemented at a societal and political level.
I would think these marriage preferences might provide some ideas about possible political coalitions. For example, Asians would want to marry a white at double the rate they would want to marry a black. When they currently go into a voting booth, though, they’ll vote for the Democrat party that most blacks vote for rather than the Republican party that most whites vote for. It might be possible for Republicans to emphasize or deemphasize certain issues that would attract Asians. Repealing affirmative action that benefits blacks but hurt Asians is one thing I can think of immediately. Black criminals like to target Asians (and also Hispanics) but the Democrat party is soft on black crime so a law and order Republican could pick up Asian (and some Hispanic) voters along with white voters. There are other issues like that. Whites may have a shrinking majority of the population but they can exploit the fact that other racial groups dislike each other more than they dislike whites. Even in places where they are the minority, whites could be the compromise candidate that is acceptable to all the other racial groups and still get elected that way.
Afraid I don't really believe that is the reason though. For one thing, there are striking contrasts in Eastern vs. Western story-telling that probably signal innate psychological differences.
The Anglo-Celts in the South should get out of their corrupt bargain marriage to the Republican Party.
It’s time for Southern Nationalists to get a Las Vegas type divorce from the evil nation-wreckers who own and control the globalizer Republican Party.
All the non-Whites want to get down and party and marry Whites because Whites are the best looking and most intelligent of all the other races on the globe. It’s not even close!
Whites have all kinds of different eye colors and hair colors and they seem to be the most evolved of all the races. Asians and Blacks and Mestizos and Amerindians and all the others are aesthetically displeasing to a very high extent. Some horrible wags would say that they were genetically beaten by a graphite fishing pole called the Ugly Stick.
Now back to those Peckerwood Anglo-Celts who need to divorce themselves from the JEW/WASP ruling class of the American Empire and the ruling class of the Republican Party. It ain’t no secret to the high IQ Unz Review commenters that the South was bought off something fierce by the JEW/WASP ruling class of the American Empire with big fat delicious piles of military Keynesianism.
What I’m saying is that like a broad who might stick around with her husband because she really likes the loot that that husband has, the Southern states stick with the JEW/WASP ruling class of the American Empire because of all that conjured up cash coming from the privately-controlled Federal Reserve Bank.
What the Southern Nationalists need to do is get their own central bank ready to go to electronically conjure up the cash to keep all the government loot pouring into the Southern states.
The Southern Nationalists should make sure they have a nuclear deterrent to keep the JEW/WASP ruling class of the American Empire behaving in a decent manner.
Southern Nationalists should take the oil in Texas and New Mexico and make a deal with the Krauts in North Dakota on oil command and control.
The only thing holding the United States of America together is electronically conjured up cash from the privately-controlled Federal Reserve Bank.

Lack of self-awareness.
The Twinkie solution, as such, has a very good track record among non-Twinkies.

That all depends on what “Asians” means. The various ethnic groups under that nebulous heading have divergent patterns.
I was talking about whites. Read more carefully. Some SJWs– a subset of whites– will marry a light-skinned Asian or Hispanic with a similar degree. They’re practically “honorary whites”, as the South Africans classified Japanese visitors.

But regarding your other statement, race is a biological reality moderated by ethno-religio-linguistic constructs. In a broad sense the racial groups are purely genetic; White vs Black, Asiatic vs Australoid, etc. But it's also correct to say there is a scottish "race" as distinct from the English "race" (part of the problem is that race can be used both broadly and narrowly, and yet 'ethnicity' still seems insufficient to produce clarity). This distinction is primarily social and historical since the genetic distance between the two is negligible. But there's also the issue of direct descent; is the issue of Clan Macduff vs say Clan Macdonald genetic, or social? Genetically the distance would be basically nil, and yet it is indisputable that each clan has discreet differences in their descent from the original Macduffs and Macdonalds that each other lacks, so it's not nothing to do with genetics either. This example is of direct analogue to other European ethnic identities, the main difference between them is historical/religious/linguistic, but in any case there's no way to call them "arbitrary" (the go-to slur of progressives toward racialism).
But thinking about it this way actually cures the quagmire of "assimilation" for nationalists (given the large scale interbreeding of different euro ethnicities in places like America); another white ethnic's children can assimilate into another white nation through interbreeding because they already possess the broad prerequisites (genetic similarity) while acquiring the specific requirements through breeding and culture (the identity of historical descent, language, religion). For these same reasons it's completely coherent to exclude other broad racial groups from (near-term) assimilation since they lack the prerequisite of similar genetics.Replies: @Talha
I would consider both to be Caucasian, obviously Khabib is a cross between European, Turkic and Asian (by our traditional classifications). Given that his ancestors precede all those classifications, the bottom line is, just as with many pure Persians and Arabs, they are the original whites (Syrians).
What was interesting with the whole Conor-Khabib thing is, because Conor basically clowned black opponents (and everyone know he would have murdered Mayweather in an actual fight, i.e. the Octogon), Khabib became the defacto "non white" to black fans--who basically acted like he was some minority beating up an ultra White guy in Conor (who is clearly a mix of Celt and Viking). It was interesting to see how Khabib was caste as the righteous and noble fighter by American blacks, despite being from the original white people !

The genetic distance between blacks and whites, Hispanics and whites, and Asians and whites is actually smaller than the genetic distances among blacks, Hispanics, and Asians.
The number of them who you look up having biographies of ‘rebelling against religion’ but marrying somebody they met from Hillel are, interesting for 3rd to 5th generation ‘Americans’.
I wonder if there is any data to support my observations that black male/white female couples are more downscale than the reverse? (which is more rare).
For Hispanics I would suspect generation plays a huge role, especially the language aspect. Spanish speaking Hispanics who know little or no English obviously would stick with other Hispanics. For the opposite extreme, 2nd or 3rd gen Hispanics who only speak English intermarriage would be more common.
The chart in this post shows that white-black pairings are actually rather unusual, but I live in a more prole-ish suburban part of the Twin Cities metro area, which is now about 60-70% white (back in the late 90's it was more like 85% white) and I'm seeing way more white female/black male pairings these days than I ever did in the pre-Obama era. I have a hunch, though, that the upper tier neighborhoods are still largely full of white couples, albeit with a growing number of Asians and talented 10th NAMs.
I heard a liberal (but not SJW) podcaster acknowledge that black-white pairings are much more common among downscale Americans, whites included. He said that white liberals tend often to live in more affluent (e.g., white) enclaves, and generally marry other whites.
I do wonder though, if the current white-black rate is really that much higher than the rate we had in the 90's or 2000's. It does seem like the 1980's was the last decade where 95% of whites refused to have long-term relationships with non-whites, and blacks in particular.Replies: @Sam Coulton

I agree.

Maybe they can have an invitation-only model or you have to send in a photo and it needs to be approved for your account to be verified.
Again, I could make the same argument for why really fat people should be excluded so somebody doesn’t have to spend time clicking on a filter for “less than 200lbs”.

216, you were asking me the other day how we appeal to young women? Well, here ya go!
If people paired up completely randomly though the rate of interracial marriage would be well over 50% in the US. Outside of the Southwest, it’s closer to 10%.
It is definitely on the rise. We did a post here a few months ago showing that it is especially the case among young white liberals, who love the idea of interracial relationships.
Since this was not a significant phenomenon in the upbringing of today's young adults until recently, we are only seeing this trend accelerate now.
The historical baggage associated with black-white relationships (not to mention the huge economic disparities) does not apply to Hispanics and Asians.
If increase, then Tinder becomes a mandatory part of the social credit system
If decrease, SJW will align with Incel and demand either the revision or ban of online dating.
https://www.unz.com/anepigone/cumming-apart/16% is the highest recorded, but we also see higher rates of LGBT in this same group.
https://www.unz.com/anepigone/gen-z-is-pretty-lgaybtq/
If we consider that Asian outmarriage is around 40%, white liberals are actually showing a disparate impact, indeed one should expect a higher rate of nearly 75% given how much white liberals are outgroup-favoring.
And as is frequently the case in the GSS, the question leaves a lot up to the imagination of the respondent. Are we talking about square one or are we talking about someone the relative has been with for five years? I’m not sure exactly how I’d answer, but it’d be more intraracial in the case of the former assumption than of the latter.

This only applies if you are MMC, UMC, or UC, and your IQ is 115+, and you have a bachelor's degree or higher. I don't know or care what the proles are thinking.
Interracial marriage is beneficial IF it's a chance to "marry up" or if it's your only chance of marriage at all.
For instance, there's a lot of White husband - Jewish wife couples among people in my parents and grandparents generations. I went to school with a ton of kids who have a Jewish mother or grandmother, but not the other way around. Why? Because the average White woman demands more alphaness from her husband than the average White man possesses. The average White woman wants a 6 while the average White man is a 5. In the 50s, 60s, 70s, and 80s, it was common for nerdy White men to marry Jewish women - better choice than not marrying at all and being an incel. The average Jewish young woman wants a husband who is slightly more beta than what the average White woman wants. I don't know why this lopsided marriage ratio between Whites and Jews suddenly became even in the 90s.
So looking at White millennials, if you are a beta young man or an ugly or average looking young woman, you are better off marrying a Jew or Asian IF that person is higher IQ, more educated, and richer than what you could have gotten from a white person.
Obviously, an ugly but high IQ White girl would rather marry a high IQ Asian doctor than some IQ 87 West Virginia meth addict.Replies: @Audacious Epigone

Blacks are “enthusiastic in general” about marriage, but marry less frequently and divorce more frequently when they do marry?
I’m thinking you mean something other than the expected when you say “blacks are enthusiastic about marriage”.
It is a social construct but it also has a firm basis in biological reality.
A “hill” is a social construct, too (at what point does a mound become a hill and a hill become a mountain?)–but it has a very real and very meaningful basis in geological reality.
Hell, the idea of “family” is a social construct (do third-cousins count?)–but it obviously has a firm basis in biological reality, too.
The term "race is a social construct" was originally used as a rebuke of obvious biological differences between races, namely intelligence. It was used in support of the blank slate belief. You're changing its original intent for reasons unclear to me.
Categorization is a social construct, or a human construct, take you pick. The things being categorized already were what they were, before categorization.
Differences in races exist whether or not we come up with names for them.Replies: @Twinkie
It is thimple – biological beings do understand genetic facts, to some extent, intuitively – though social factors [status] will influence the results. Thus, Whites and Asians having the most to lose, they are the most hesitant to throw their genetic advantage away, which seems biologically reasonable.
While Hispanics are somewhat frustrated (they have better status more to the South) and Blacks obviously have the most to gain. It takes about 30 seconds to take this away from the graphs, and it covers with what an averagely educated person knows about all the things ant-racism tries so damn hard to deny since decades.
Am I to understand that, say, in the “Among Whites” category that Blacks are 20% while Asians are almost 35% in their enthusiasm that Whites are marrying within their own race? And so forth.
Oh, and cluster graphs? Forget it. Wikipedia is no help there, either.
I’m a fairly intelligent guy, but never had much of an interest in statistics (aside from citing them ツ), so I readily admit my ignorance here.
Help!Replies: @RSDB, @Audacious Epigone
The four bars above “among whites” shows how white respondents feel about their relatives marrying whites, marrying blacks, marrying Hispanics, and marrying Asians.
The GSS asks if respondents would be “in favor”, which is unfortunate phrasing. I think “would you support your relative marrying an X” would be a better way to do it but we work with what we have. That’s how most people are answering, because they couldn’t simultaneously favor a relative marrying a partner of all four races simultaneously, yet for every single possible pairing, there is more “favor” responses then “not favor” (which is why all the bars are positive).
3) Could not a category for “least favor” or something similar have been added to the survey? What I mean is, if all the bars are positive is this because this kind of graph makes it impossible to represent a negative response? Again, I never took a course in statistics in college – though now it looks like should have. So, lastly, can you recommend a book for tyros like me?Replies: @Audacious Epigone

It is really just a question of familiarity. If a white person saw a certain type of non-whites in their class throughout K-12, the thought of marrying them does not seem alien.
Since this was not a significant phenomenon in the upbringing of today’s young adults until recently, we are only seeing this trend accelerate now.
The historical baggage associated with black-white relationships (not to mention the huge economic disparities) does not apply to Hispanics and Asians.
Of course, each race is most enthusiastic about marriage within their own race. That’s only natural.
If you eliminate the intraracial enthusiasm indices and add up the other three (e.g. enthusiasm for a white marriage among only blacks, Hispanics and Asians, excluding white enthusiasm for white marriage), you get what I think are interesting values.
Other races strongly prefer their own to marry whites (192.4), next Asians (159.6) and next Hispanics (142.7). The extra-racial enthusiasm index for blacks drops off sharply at 89.7.
I will leave it to the reader as an exercise to explain why generally interracial marriage is accepted, except when the spouse is black.

But regarding your other statement, race is a biological reality moderated by ethno-religio-linguistic constructs.

White nationalists are fond of saying that people would like their grandchildren to resemble them. That's undoubtedly true, but not necessarily in the way that white nationalists think it's true.

(X) Doubt
People want their grandchildren to resemble them in exactly the way that motto means, what kind of incredibly inane person cares about the politics of their grandchild? In the real world religion and culture almost never trump race, given that culture is so tightly bound to race as to make the distinction nearly meaningless. White Christians and Black Christians don’t have the same culture anywhere, it’s almost a stretch to say they practice the same religion. Your counterfactuals are absurd as a predictor for accelerating miscegenation if only for the fact that even if there were culturally palatable inter-racial partners available in great supply (there aren’t, regardless of the combination you come up with), there’s already a large supply of partners with the same preferable culture who are also of the same race.
If you think religion or political ideology trump race, then why is the party of the ideologically unfocused and religious-minded black race also the rabidly anti-christian party? Could it be that those things aren’t even a blip on the radar compared to their ethnic identity?
The commenters that point out the divergence between stated and revealed preference have a good point. Also, the difference between “marriage” and babies on the ground is significant. For those of you who don’t shop at Walmart and get a chance to see the chunky working class white women with 5 kids, one of which is a mulatto, will not share my skepticism that the “statistics” on mixed race children are off. And for you WNs, do you really think that those 4 white kids are going to grow up and not consider their mulatto sister as a sister?

Sadly, atomized Westerners care more about status than they do over-all cultural and mental well-being. Padding your resume, and focusing on "competition", is more important than looking out for the long-term survival of your genetics.
It's safe to say that Western European individualism had it's virtues, but it's now clearly being used and abused for the sake of furthering decadence and disease. And when "liberty" in white Western countries was chiefly for law abiding white men, that was one thing. But now we expect women and non-Europeans to somehow thrive in this sort of culture. And this is self-evidently disastrous, as our culture has been increasingly coarse, dumbed down, and not oriented toward long term security, ever since white Western elites thought that their culture would be "enhanced" by giving greater largess to "historically disadvantaged" (or historically weak and/or absent from the white West) groups. Those who are neither white nor male (and those who are just plain dumb or mentally ill, including some white guys) are never going to fully understand and respect the principles of Western intellectual and personal freedom that date back to ancient Rome. And that's not necessarily a criticism of women or non-whites; rather, we need to understand the differences between ethnic groups and between the two genders. Appreciating these differences won't "hurt" women and non-whites (which white Westerners have often claimed for the last 50 years); rather, it will insure that white Western men can prolong the culture for which they were once justifiably proud.
The modern West is actively going backward in terms of over-all cultural freedom (of which freedom of speech is the most important), due to the (heavily contrived) advancement of women and non-whites and the growing pressure to never say anything negative about these two groups or the practices intended to help them (like affirmative action, hate speech codes, and dumbed down schools).

Hispanic as a race is almost entirely socially constructed. But people apparently think it's real. I have no idea why.Replies: @HallParvey, @red6020, @Twodees Partain, @Mike Tre
The word Hispanic is a shoddy term used to classify a group of people based upon shared language. African Cubans share no racial relation to Aztec descended Mexicans, but both speak a form of Spanish.
You’re changing the original meaning of “race is a social construct” in order to prove.. what exactly? Even without human categorization, Africans, Asians, and Europeans would still be different races. Referring to that fact as a social construct is nonsense.
I find it to be just the opposite.
Most interracial couples I know their children grow up culturally identifying with the minority race, ie., black or hispanic…
I only know one asian and black couple and they too are raising the kids as black, even though they look Japanese (like their father) to me…
Actually these bi-racial kids are turning out to be the most radical…with no loyalty whatsoever to their white heritage.
Look at Obama, he threw his grandparents under the bus (who raised him from the age of 5 years old) even before he became President. He didn’t even bother attending his grandmother’s funeral when she passed away.
Another example Colin Kaepernick, I don’t know his actual racial background but he was adopted and raised by a white family. Again, could care less, no regard or affection whatsoever for the race of people who nurtured him to manhood…

It's time for Southern Nationalists to get a Las Vegas type divorce from the evil nation-wreckers who own and control the globalizer Republican Party.
All the non-Whites want to get down and party and marry Whites because Whites are the best looking and most intelligent of all the other races on the globe. It's not even close!
Whites have all kinds of different eye colors and hair colors and they seem to be the most evolved of all the races. Asians and Blacks and Mestizos and Amerindians and all the others are aesthetically displeasing to a very high extent. Some horrible wags would say that they were genetically beaten by a graphite fishing pole called the Ugly Stick.
Now back to those Peckerwood Anglo-Celts who need to divorce themselves from the JEW/WASP ruling class of the American Empire and the ruling class of the Republican Party. It ain't no secret to the high IQ Unz Review commenters that the South was bought off something fierce by the JEW/WASP ruling class of the American Empire with big fat delicious piles of military Keynesianism.
What I'm saying is that like a broad who might stick around with her husband because she really likes the loot that that husband has, the Southern states stick with the JEW/WASP ruling class of the American Empire because of all that conjured up cash coming from the privately-controlled Federal Reserve Bank.
What the Southern Nationalists need to do is get their own central bank ready to go to electronically conjure up the cash to keep all the government loot pouring into the Southern states.
The Southern Nationalists should make sure they have a nuclear deterrent to keep the JEW/WASP ruling class of the American Empire behaving in a decent manner.
Southern Nationalists should take the oil in Texas and New Mexico and make a deal with the Krauts in North Dakota on oil command and control.

Personally, I would have very little enthusiasm for a relative marrying a black, and in general, I would have less enthusiasm for a female relative out-marrying than a male relative doing so. I think this male bias is fairly common. People in general seem to be more comfortable with male relatives out-marrying than with men from another group taking one of their women.
For other groups, it would be more on an individual basis. In general, I would have more enthusiasm for a relative marrying someone from a similar background – white, upper-middle class Christian (secular or religious) – than from other backgrounds. But I would not necessarily have greater enthusiasm for someone white just because they were white if they were deficient in other respects.

So you want to do a reset just to see if we get back to this same point?
All parents have their preferences. I am thankful that none of my three children married a black or a Jew. That is the honest truth.
There is no way that any person who is not a member of either of those groups can stay married to any Black or Jew. The differences are too great and with all the problems experienced within a marriage to add another one would be insane.
An idea I've bandied about here that I'd like to investigate in more detail is to what extent white millennials consider interracial marriage for the benefit of their children.Replies: @iffen, @Anonymous
As a member of the group you are talking about, I’ll explain.
This only applies if you are MMC, UMC, or UC, and your IQ is 115+, and you have a bachelor’s degree or higher. I don’t know or care what the proles are thinking.
Interracial marriage is beneficial IF it’s a chance to “marry up” or if it’s your only chance of marriage at all.
For instance, there’s a lot of White husband – Jewish wife couples among people in my parents and grandparents generations. I went to school with a ton of kids who have a Jewish mother or grandmother, but not the other way around. Why? Because the average White woman demands more alphaness from her husband than the average White man possesses. The average White woman wants a 6 while the average White man is a 5. In the 50s, 60s, 70s, and 80s, it was common for nerdy White men to marry Jewish women – better choice than not marrying at all and being an incel. The average Jewish young woman wants a husband who is slightly more beta than what the average White woman wants. I don’t know why this lopsided marriage ratio between Whites and Jews suddenly became even in the 90s.
So looking at White millennials, if you are a beta young man or an ugly or average looking young woman, you are better off marrying a Jew or Asian IF that person is higher IQ, more educated, and richer than what you could have gotten from a white person.
Obviously, an ugly but high IQ White girl would rather marry a high IQ Asian doctor than some IQ 87 West Virginia meth addict.

Oh, good catch! I spent so much time trying to puzzle out how to read the graph that I missed that.

I’m saying the White pukes pushing all this racial guilt tripping are nasty White frauds hiding their own greed and hatred for regular Whites.
The JEW/WASP ruling class of the American Empire must be removed from power. The key is to get the Anglo-Celts in the South and the German Americans in the Great Lakes states to form a White Core American bloc which can work with White Core Americans in the West and Northeast to become the new ruling class.
White Core America must dislodge the JEW/WASP ruling class from power and take control of the American Empire and the United States of America.

True.
Plus, it seems that a third of second-gen Hispanics also marry whites. This is a much larger number than Asians.
The fact remains, over 20% of babies born in the US are mixed-race now, and 89% of those are half-white. I am quite certain that half-white/half-Asian, and half-white/half-mestizo people will not be considered ‘non-white’ in a visual/social sense in the future.
One interesting pairup that is common in California is Filipinos + Mexicans. Filipinos are nominally ‘Hispanic’, so their intermarriage with Mexicans is to be expected. People of this racial mix are difficult for the unfamiliar to place.

I don’t think he’s referring to skin color per se, but to the fact that races are, broadly-speaking, genetic clusters. In other words, races have a very firm basis in biology (I would further add that the membership therein, largely because of boundary issues, is socially mediated).
That’s because there are 2-3 times as many Hispanics as there are Asians in America, and a higher fraction of Hispanics are American-born on top of that. In percentage terms, Asians, esp. the American-born, have higher intermarriage rates with whites than Hispanics do.* And the SES of white partners also varies quite predictably (higher for Asians, lower for Hispanics). Moreover, offspring of white-Asian marriages identify as white at higher rates than do those of white-Hispanic marriages (the data I saw doesn’t explicitly state this, but it can be inferred negatively from whether they identify as Asian or Hispanic, respectively).
*This will likely change as the Asian population in America becomes increasingly more Indian, as Indians have lower intermarriage rates.
“I don’t think he’s referring to skin color per se, but to the fact that races are, broadly-speaking, genetic clusters.”
Try as we might to distance ourselves from the historic trope of color to race motif, it simply repeatedly fails as the comments routinely reveal that in most minds when differences are denoted by “skin color”.
Despite the strained effort at nuance, the meaning is clear. Hence the constant reference to skin color and “racialized” distinctions. It’s akin to the attempt to distinguish Jews from Europe from “whiteness” — very strained pedantic mess.

I agree. Skin color is huge. I am always perceived as white by both whites and non-whites. The vast majority have no interest in breaking it down any further.
“The vast majority have no interest in breaking it down any further.”

About 59% of White Americans are proles. Meaning, they are LC or LMC. Only 41% of us are MMC, UMC, or UC.
Among LC and LMC Whites, your cousin marrying a Hispanic is greatly preferable to him marrying an Asian. Most LC and LMC Whites don't hate Asians, they just think that they are weird. Whereas prole Whites have a lot more interaction with Hispanics, and thus don't think they are as weird.
Among MMC, UMC, and UC Whites, your cousin marrying an Asian or Jew is greatly preferable to him marrying a Hispanic. Hispanics are perceived the same way as Blacks and prole Whites. Whereas Jews and Asians are seen as socially, economically, and educationally "in the same ballpark" as SWPLs.Replies: @Audacious Epigone
The class angle is very interesting. I’m going to do additional posts looking at it in more detail.
I was wondering the same thing.
Every other state correlates exactly to cumulative percentage + duration of Asian and/or Hispanic presence there (i.e. are there 2nd gen adults there as of yet), and hence no number is a surprise except OK.
Black-white is unlikely to ever become a large fraction of interracial reproduction. Blacks have been here since the beginning, and are numerous, yet are just 11% of interracial marriages.

Yes it does. The vertical bar in comment #3 shows that 89% of all interracial marriage involves a white spouse. Only the remaining 11% comprise all possible non-white combinations.
Furthermore, your chart supports my statement, and refutes yours. Look closely at your own chart. It does NOT indicate that Hispanic-black, or Asian-black, is very common at all.

You’re not going to convince a lot of people to vote Republican until the GOP 86’s the Boomer culture war crapola that solidifies the votes of 60 year olds in the rural Midwest. Right now the GOP can count on Leftist culture war over-reach to make themselves seem saner, but only for so long*.
Both parties need to jettison the culture war crap and restore New Deal economic and political norms. But, and this is key, the Republican flavor** of the culture war has almost no appeal to people under 40, whereas SJW stuff is very appealing to non-whites and well-educated younger whites.
*What is the GOP doing to rein in campus propaganda excess, and civil rights violations? Nothing. Nada. Zilch. The GOP has known since the 70’s that colleges have increasingly favored activism over education, yet the GOP does nothing. Just like how the modern GOP, in spite of being in the White House longer than the Dems since 1968, never seems to shut down gay bars, repeal affirmative action, ban dangerous forms of pornography, restrict venues for gambling, and so forth. The GOP are con artists, pure and simple. When Democrats had more power in the 1930’s-1960’s, that’s precisely when our culture was more wholesome. As soon as we became more individualistic around 1970, and began voting more for the GOP, that’s exactly when we began sliding down the path of decadence, which the GOP than glibly blames on “Leftists”. And there’s no greater betrayal than immigration and the borders. Reagan had a looser border policy than JKF and LBJ did. GW Bush had a looser border policy than Bill Clinton did. Papa Bush signed the 1990 immigration act, one of the worst pieces of legislation in US history (the Visa lottery, expanded chain migration, etc.) that drastically increased 3rd world immigration. Trump’s border policy has been worse than the one we had in Obama’s first term.
**I’m talking about what the GOP donor class has allowed, since the 80’s, not what some on the Right have been hallucinating as to the GOP’s actual policies. The GOP is not “the white party”, and is certainly not the working class party on most issues. It’s only the excesses of the Woke era that allow the GOP to posture as the populist party (wake up: Tucker Carlson represents ideal New Deal norms, not the actual norms that the GOP establishment has created over the last 50 years) or the nominal pro-white party.
And interestingly you see the same story in other countries. In Britain the Conservative Party has done more to encourage degeneracy and decadence than Labour. Blair was a disaster but Thatcher, Cameron and May were worse. No-one did more to wreck traditional Britain than Thatcher.

I wonder if there is any data to support my observations that black male/white female couples are more downscale than the reverse? (which is more rare).
The chart in this post shows that white-black pairings are actually rather unusual, but I live in a more prole-ish suburban part of the Twin Cities metro area, which is now about 60-70% white (back in the late 90’s it was more like 85% white) and I’m seeing way more white female/black male pairings these days than I ever did in the pre-Obama era. I have a hunch, though, that the upper tier neighborhoods are still largely full of white couples, albeit with a growing number of Asians and talented 10th NAMs.
I heard a liberal (but not SJW) podcaster acknowledge that black-white pairings are much more common among downscale Americans, whites included. He said that white liberals tend often to live in more affluent (e.g., white) enclaves, and generally marry other whites.
I do wonder though, if the current white-black rate is really that much higher than the rate we had in the 90’s or 2000’s. It does seem like the 1980’s was the last decade where 95% of whites refused to have long-term relationships with non-whites, and blacks in particular.
That could well be the offensive side of the same coin, the defensive side being to give her child a leg up and shield him from being taught through school and in media that he is sinful and responsible for all the world’s problems.
White nationalists are fond of saying that people would like their grandchildren to resemble them. That's undoubtedly true, but not necessarily in the way that white nationalists think it's true.
I think it's fair to say that most Christians would like their grandchildren to be Christians. So they might well prefer their children to marry black Christians rather than white atheists. And I'm guessing that Pakistani Muslims would prefer their kid to marry a white Muslim rather than a Pakistani atheist SJW.

Again, “guessing”, and my guess is “Pakistanis” are far less forgiving of marrying outside their tribe, irrespective of religion, than many other groups.
Which actually says nothing about their preferences for marriage.

Telling women to put off the securing of a male protector, and go to college alone for the sake of “building a career” tells you all you need to know. Do modern Westerners ever care to consider why women end up being raped, or addicted to drugs, or turning to prostitution (on camera or off)?
Sadly, atomized Westerners care more about status than they do over-all cultural and mental well-being. Padding your resume, and focusing on “competition”, is more important than looking out for the long-term survival of your genetics.
It’s safe to say that Western European individualism had it’s virtues, but it’s now clearly being used and abused for the sake of furthering decadence and disease. And when “liberty” in white Western countries was chiefly for law abiding white men, that was one thing. But now we expect women and non-Europeans to somehow thrive in this sort of culture. And this is self-evidently disastrous, as our culture has been increasingly coarse, dumbed down, and not oriented toward long term security, ever since white Western elites thought that their culture would be “enhanced” by giving greater largess to “historically disadvantaged” (or historically weak and/or absent from the white West) groups. Those who are neither white nor male (and those who are just plain dumb or mentally ill, including some white guys) are never going to fully understand and respect the principles of Western intellectual and personal freedom that date back to ancient Rome. And that’s not necessarily a criticism of women or non-whites; rather, we need to understand the differences between ethnic groups and between the two genders. Appreciating these differences won’t “hurt” women and non-whites (which white Westerners have often claimed for the last 50 years); rather, it will insure that white Western men can prolong the culture for which they were once justifiably proud.
The modern West is actively going backward in terms of over-all cultural freedom (of which freedom of speech is the most important), due to the (heavily contrived) advancement of women and non-whites and the growing pressure to never say anything negative about these two groups or the practices intended to help them (like affirmative action, hate speech codes, and dumbed down schools).

“Dumbing down” begins to see greater usage in the 1980’s.
The late 80’s is when it was becoming apparent that women and non-Asian minorities generally struggle to compete with elite white and Asian men in many fields. But this is also when “white” countries began to see rapid increases in the non-white population, and more women going to college. You see what’s going on here? The continuous disappointing performance of women and NAMs has led to growing efforts to both outlaw criticism of minorities and make studies easier (so Suzy, Juan, and Tyrone don’t get a massive headache from high-ed course with 1950’s level rigor).

Decadence is mostly a right-wing thing. Free markets, open borders and the encouragement of degeneracy all go together.
Some forms of degeneracy were at their worst in the 70's and 80's, but have since gotten better(the the young generations of that time thought they were rebelling against "squares). That being said, if we returned to New Deal norms of tightly knit communities policing their residents (which would put gambling, homosexuality, obesity, and dangerous use of drugs and alcohol back on the margins where they belong) that would go a long way towards reducing most of the excesses that have been a clear problem since the 70's.
I've tried to tell people about the often contradictory relationship between the two camps of conservatism; there is the Anglo neo-liberal camp that attempts to shrink or co-opt the government so that profit motivated "private" sector entities get their way. Then there is the cultural traditionalist conservative camp that seeks to maintain order and tradition, even if it means trampling on ostensible rights. A big reason self-described conservatives are often unhappy is because there is always a tug of war between the anti-statist social Darwinists (libertarians) and the morally driven cultural types. Both sides always have their guard up that the other side is trying to strangle them. On the other hand, left-liberals generally don't have to deal with this same tension and division.
The neo-lib era has been about "conservatives" using big government for policing of street crime* and war, to the point that the government is actually bigger now than it was in the 70's. But since corporate monopolies grow unchecked and the wealthy are asked to shoulder less and less of the financial burden, the modern establishment Right is evidently just fine with today's variant of big government.
WRT freedom, there is intellectual freedom, financial freedom (as in you have enough money to get by), and cultural freedom. Though the right makes a big deal out of "freedom", the reality is that intellectual freedom has been under siege since the late 80's beginnings of PC and corporate enforced doctrine regarding "sensitivity" and "safety". Financial freedom is enjoyed by the top 20%, but the other 80% are poorly paid, don't own much property or stocks (so they can't gain wealth from asset appreciation), and deal with massive healthcare, education, and housing costs). Not at all like the 1940's-early 1970's when more and more people could easily afford to start a family. Cultural freedom regarding marijuana, prostitution, porn, gambling, video game playing, etc. is certainly higher now than it was 50, or 60, or 70 years ago (although police state measures regarding drunk driving appear to have heavily diminished the appeal of even rather casual drinking). And theaters no longer admit minors to R-rated movies like they did in the 80's and early 90's. So I suppose on the cultural front it's a mixed bag.
Overall, though, the trend is toward too much of the wrong kind of freedom (cultural freedom) and not enough of the good kind of freedom (intellectual and financial freedom).Replies: @dfordoom

I heard a liberal (but not SJW) podcaster acknowledge that black-white pairings are much more common among downscale Americans, whites included. He said that white liberals tend often to live in more affluent (e.g., white) enclaves, and generally marry other whites.
I do wonder though, if the current white-black rate is really that much higher than the rate we had in the 90's or 2000's. It does seem like the 1980's was the last decade where 95% of whites refused to have long-term relationships with non-whites, and blacks in particular.Replies: @Sam Coulton
Proportionately, it is lower. BMWF peaked in the 1990s both in terms of actual prevalence and media exposure. People such as yourself are suffering from selective amnesia/dementia.
I think we're seeing more and more evidence of the elite-prole divide that's been widening for 50 years. There are now large chunks of the Northeast, Midwest, and South full of hopeless section 8'ers and SSI recipients, white and black alike. They are being left behind, and often are breeding with each other across the racial aisle at a rate far higher than what we saw pre-1990 (per Charles Murray, the 90's is when elite and prole whites fully split from each other). But the Western US, and the affluent areas of the Northeast, Midwest, and South, house affluent whites and a growing number of Asians and talented tenth Hispanics. Here, interracial dating when it does happen usually doesn't involve the most undesirable/poor/incarcerated demographic, black males.
But my over-all point that the current dating patterns of whites is science-fiction from the perspective of pre-1990 America still stands.
This is not true at all. Back when the CDC website had easily viewable data on interracial births, I remember seeing that BMWF births were increasing year after year until 2014, which is the last year for which they had easily viewable data. And that's consistent with what I see IRL.Replies: @Feryl

“The power to exclude is central to the freedom to not associate.”
The power to include without malice or harm is paramount to the freedom to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. You have the power to personally associate with anyone you desire. We have tried the experiment of enabling people through legal means to exclude whomever they choose from the body politic, as well as social institutions, and the result were Southrons (NOT Southerners) who repeatedly violated several Constitutional amendments. They got greedy–separate and unequal–which was not the ruling issued in the Plessy case.
Remember, there were southern white people who desired to sell property to blacks, employ blacks and afford them equal wages and benefits, and marry blacks. These whites were denied their opportunity to exercise their freedom to associate in their own community through social pressure and by the force of law, i.e. organized human coercion. Indeed, the battle cry of Southrons was “What fraction of that is right?”, with the resounding answer “Zero”. Thus, the 1964 Civil Rights Act ensured that their ham fisted efforts to deny people fundamental liberties would be addressed by the rule of law.
Sadly, atomized Westerners care more about status than they do over-all cultural and mental well-being. Padding your resume, and focusing on "competition", is more important than looking out for the long-term survival of your genetics.
It's safe to say that Western European individualism had it's virtues, but it's now clearly being used and abused for the sake of furthering decadence and disease. And when "liberty" in white Western countries was chiefly for law abiding white men, that was one thing. But now we expect women and non-Europeans to somehow thrive in this sort of culture. And this is self-evidently disastrous, as our culture has been increasingly coarse, dumbed down, and not oriented toward long term security, ever since white Western elites thought that their culture would be "enhanced" by giving greater largess to "historically disadvantaged" (or historically weak and/or absent from the white West) groups. Those who are neither white nor male (and those who are just plain dumb or mentally ill, including some white guys) are never going to fully understand and respect the principles of Western intellectual and personal freedom that date back to ancient Rome. And that's not necessarily a criticism of women or non-whites; rather, we need to understand the differences between ethnic groups and between the two genders. Appreciating these differences won't "hurt" women and non-whites (which white Westerners have often claimed for the last 50 years); rather, it will insure that white Western men can prolong the culture for which they were once justifiably proud.
The modern West is actively going backward in terms of over-all cultural freedom (of which freedom of speech is the most important), due to the (heavily contrived) advancement of women and non-whites and the growing pressure to never say anything negative about these two groups or the practices intended to help them (like affirmative action, hate speech codes, and dumbed down schools).

That’s great in theory. Today’s white men and women tend to have their own views about race and culture. You’re going to have to propagandize the hell out of several generations to convince them otherwise. Generation Z holds the key. They are diverse, tend to be fiscal conservative but social liberals, and are poised to take over the institutions. Do you have the time, energy, and Daddy Warbucks money to go on a soapbox tour of epic proportions to maybe make a small dent in the line of thinking of that group?

And interestingly you see the same story in other countries. In Britain the Conservative Party has done more to encourage degeneracy and decadence than Labour. Blair was a disaster but Thatcher, Cameron and May were worse. No-one did more to wreck traditional Britain than Thatcher. In Australia the supposedly conservative LNP led the push for homosexual marriage.
Decadence is mostly a right-wing thing. Free markets, open borders and the encouragement of degeneracy all go together.Replies: @Feryl
But the strange thing is that the populace has to some degree (albeit not to New Deal era levels) chosen on it’s own to not be as degenerate as it could be; the authorities since the 70’s have put less and less effort into regulating many things, only going after the most obvious things like violent criminals and hard drugs. But asking the populace to regulate itself is a dubious proposition, since things like dangerous dog ownership, risky stock market plays, obesity levels, production (and therefore consumption) of extreme porno and so on are all clearly much worse nowadays than they were in the 1930’s-1960’s.
Some forms of degeneracy were at their worst in the 70’s and 80’s, but have since gotten better(the the young generations of that time thought they were rebelling against “squares). That being said, if we returned to New Deal norms of tightly knit communities policing their residents (which would put gambling, homosexuality, obesity, and dangerous use of drugs and alcohol back on the margins where they belong) that would go a long way towards reducing most of the excesses that have been a clear problem since the 70’s.
I’ve tried to tell people about the often contradictory relationship between the two camps of conservatism; there is the Anglo neo-liberal camp that attempts to shrink or co-opt the government so that profit motivated “private” sector entities get their way. Then there is the cultural traditionalist conservative camp that seeks to maintain order and tradition, even if it means trampling on ostensible rights. A big reason self-described conservatives are often unhappy is because there is always a tug of war between the anti-statist social Darwinists (libertarians) and the morally driven cultural types. Both sides always have their guard up that the other side is trying to strangle them. On the other hand, left-liberals generally don’t have to deal with this same tension and division.
The neo-lib era has been about “conservatives” using big government for policing of street crime* and war, to the point that the government is actually bigger now than it was in the 70’s. But since corporate monopolies grow unchecked and the wealthy are asked to shoulder less and less of the financial burden, the modern establishment Right is evidently just fine with today’s variant of big government.
WRT freedom, there is intellectual freedom, financial freedom (as in you have enough money to get by), and cultural freedom. Though the right makes a big deal out of “freedom”, the reality is that intellectual freedom has been under siege since the late 80’s beginnings of PC and corporate enforced doctrine regarding “sensitivity” and “safety”. Financial freedom is enjoyed by the top 20%, but the other 80% are poorly paid, don’t own much property or stocks (so they can’t gain wealth from asset appreciation), and deal with massive healthcare, education, and housing costs). Not at all like the 1940’s-early 1970’s when more and more people could easily afford to start a family. Cultural freedom regarding marijuana, prostitution, porn, gambling, video game playing, etc. is certainly higher now than it was 50, or 60, or 70 years ago (although police state measures regarding drunk driving appear to have heavily diminished the appeal of even rather casual drinking). And theaters no longer admit minors to R-rated movies like they did in the 80’s and early 90’s. So I suppose on the cultural front it’s a mixed bag.
Overall, though, the trend is toward too much of the wrong kind of freedom (cultural freedom) and not enough of the good kind of freedom (intellectual and financial freedom).
And they're not going to believe you because the media and the schools have spent decades telling them the opposite as part of a deliberate and concerted disinformation campaign.

“OK. Then both Jews and most East Asians are white. Many Middle Easterners (Lebanese, Syrians, Turks, and some Iranians) are white too.”
Uhhh, that may very well be. And it explains the expanding definition of whiteness to include even darker shades of Latinos, etc. Skin color is a matter of hue. Black, how black, brown, how brown, red how red, white, how white . . . the pressure is making the one drop rule rather vague, if one can imagine one drop as anything but other than vague.
My point is not about hue. It’s the peculiar reasoning about skin color and “race”. But what I find is going to be a quite a hat trick is when the immigrants intended to add to white numbers actually turn out to be the key deconstructionists of whiteness and the American Enterprise. Now corporate citizens may whether that shift, but for those of us in the middle, and below, the US may cease to have meaning. And I certainly intend to fight that battle.
But there’s no record of whites not beating the tar out of each other – just because they were white. And the blurring the lines to demographic advantage — is “iffy” in my view.
These: (Lebanese, Syrians, Turks, and some Iranians) are nationalities and ethnicities not skin colors.
Ed Dutton did a good video on how the more distant the two races are the higher the incidence of mental problems there are in the offspring.
Whites marrying Hispanics who are often 40-80% European, white men marrying Asian women, and the fattest and least educated white women boiling off into the mixed population is not exactly a sign of enthusiasm for more aggressive forms of racial intermarriage.

Reagan and Thatcher were big government cultural traditionalists on drugs, street crime, and military spending. But on other issues (immigration, pornography, responsible pet ownership, infrastructure building and maintenance, family stability, domestic vs foreign goods) they had an attitude of "to each his own" individualism and "privatization", and globalism. Those who remember (and those who recently have studied) the moral clean-up campaigns that the establishment encouraged from about 1900-1970, often accompanied by measures to maintain economic sovereignty (e.g., we will rely on our own labor and our own industries to produce goods), ought to realize what a radical departure neo-liberalism is from the cultural conservatism and stability of the New Deal era. Modern GOP FDR haters really are a delusional breed. Anyone who has any moral scruples (or anyone who understands economic dos and don'ts) would gladly reject the decadence of the last 50 years in order to bring back the culture of the New Deal era.Fears of communism, essentially, fears of "big government", are mainly for older people. Boomers haven't (and probably won't) produced any dictators* (or at least, they won't vote for them) because most of them still detest New Deal norms of tightly regulated behavior (if they didn't feel this way, they wouldn't have started the obesity epidemic and the AIDS epidemic).
It's true that younger generations could produce Red brigades of fanatical enforcers of commie dogma, which certainly is not what we want (though a valid argument could be made that true-blue communists were still more behaviorally conservative than libertarian/neo-liberal Reaganites). But if such a thing were to happen, then the Boomers would need to take responsibility for the political culture falling into such chaos that an authoritarian regime could arise. The Boomers firmly rejected the tight, but generally well-reasoned, moral regime of the New Deal era. And in doing so they betrayed a lot their naivete and ingratitude. Under the leadership of Boomers (and elders championed by Boomer voters and donors), the top 20% has mostly abandoned moral regulation of society while also economically abandoning the lower 80%. Boomer CEOs and shareholders routinely shredded worker's rights and pensions, refused to offer better pay to hourly workers, brought in tons of immigrant labor, and off-shored what remained of much of American industry (GI and Silent Gen leaders began this stuff in the 1970's, but that was nothin' compared to the massive off-shoring and open borders that have occurred during the last 20 years of Boomer dominance of politics and industry.
*Historian David Kaiser (an early Boomer) often says that throughout much of the world, the defining trait of the early 21st century of Boomer leadership is an absence of political and cultural continuity. This makes it very difficult to produce political and cultural strong men, strong communities, and strong governments. Individual hedonism ("freedom") and cultural dissolution are the rule.

Fascinating topic. I am a white Hispanic (who identifies basically as just “white”), married to a brown (high IQ) Latina from S. America. I have many darker more “non-white” Hispanic/Latino family members, and of course have had friends all along the Hispanic/Latino spectrum for decades. With the exception of clearly already-mixed Puerto Ricans and other misc (dark Hondurans, etc), and actual black Latinos from DR, I have never known Hispanic/Latinos to approve of any type of relationship with blacks. The distaste for it is much more overt if discussed openly than it would be in a white culture-family. Blacks are looked down upon as though they were another species.
Also, in the Latin culture, if you are basically white looking with known white ancestry, you are white…the one drop basically works in the other direction. Culture plays a part too, as well as social class (there are clearly high-caste mestizos that are part of the white latin culture). Many “blacks” in the US would be considered White or White culture in Latin America, especially Brazil. Same with many self-identifying Latinos in the US, that go on and on about “Anglos”.

Yeah I saw that. I think dating outside your race indicates a transgressive personality, and the resulting off-spring is likely to be rather maladjusted due to genetic and social factors (suicidal thoughts are more common among mixed race people).
And they're not going to believe you because the media and the schools have spent decades telling them the opposite as part of a deliberate and concerted disinformation campaign.
It's not just impossible to explain modern politics to normies. It's almost impossible to explain it to dissident rightists who, to a depressing degree, will insist that Bernie Sanders and Jeremy Corbyn are dangerous communists and that open borders is a communist plot.
And as far as intellectual freedom is concerned you have to try to get people to understand that as a guarantee of intellectual freedom the First Amendment is pretty much useless. All it does is guarantee freedom of speech to billionaires who own media or social media empires.
Then you try to explain to them that the Second Amendment was intended to prevent the establishment of a standing army because the men who framed the Second Amendment believed (quite correctly) that standing armies would give the state a monopoly on the use of force and lead to tyranny.

This is something that many paleo-conservatives acknowledged in the late 80’s and early 90’s, but over-time the trend has been to retroactively elevate the character of post-1980 presidents. So Reagan, the Bushes, Clinton, and Obama all got heavily criticized during, and immediately after, their presidencies yet this is now easy to forget (and people too young to have lived through those presidencies won’t have a clue).
Reagan and Thatcher were big government cultural traditionalists on drugs, street crime, and military spending. But on other issues (immigration, pornography, responsible pet ownership, infrastructure building and maintenance, family stability, domestic vs foreign goods) they had an attitude of “to each his own” individualism and “privatization”, and globalism. Those who remember (and those who recently have studied) the moral clean-up campaigns that the establishment encouraged from about 1900-1970, often accompanied by measures to maintain economic sovereignty (e.g., we will rely on our own labor and our own industries to produce goods), ought to realize what a radical departure neo-liberalism is from the cultural conservatism and stability of the New Deal era. Modern GOP FDR haters really are a delusional breed. Anyone who has any moral scruples (or anyone who understands economic dos and don’ts) would gladly reject the decadence of the last 50 years in order to bring back the culture of the New Deal era.
Fears of communism, essentially, fears of “big government”, are mainly for older people. Boomers haven’t (and probably won’t) produced any dictators* (or at least, they won’t vote for them) because most of them still detest New Deal norms of tightly regulated behavior (if they didn’t feel this way, they wouldn’t have started the obesity epidemic and the AIDS epidemic).
It’s true that younger generations could produce Red brigades of fanatical enforcers of commie dogma, which certainly is not what we want (though a valid argument could be made that true-blue communists were still more behaviorally conservative than libertarian/neo-liberal Reaganites). But if such a thing were to happen, then the Boomers would need to take responsibility for the political culture falling into such chaos that an authoritarian regime could arise. The Boomers firmly rejected the tight, but generally well-reasoned, moral regime of the New Deal era. And in doing so they betrayed a lot their naivete and ingratitude. Under the leadership of Boomers (and elders championed by Boomer voters and donors), the top 20% has mostly abandoned moral regulation of society while also economically abandoning the lower 80%. Boomer CEOs and shareholders routinely shredded worker’s rights and pensions, refused to offer better pay to hourly workers, brought in tons of immigrant labor, and off-shored what remained of much of American industry (GI and Silent Gen leaders began this stuff in the 1970’s, but that was nothin’ compared to the massive off-shoring and open borders that have occurred during the last 20 years of Boomer dominance of politics and industry.
*Historian David Kaiser (an early Boomer) often says that throughout much of the world, the defining trait of the early 21st century of Boomer leadership is an absence of political and cultural continuity. This makes it very difficult to produce political and cultural strong men, strong communities, and strong governments. Individual hedonism (“freedom”) and cultural dissolution are the rule. Boomers are too individualistic, and too prone to bickering, to even agree on what society’s goals should be. Thus, chaos is the result.
Look, Trump knew that the GOP's ideology was so inherently flawed that he spent almost the entire 2016 campaign blurting out truths that the GOP establishment desperately suppresses (as did Bernie Sanders).

But since the GOP's major donors, and the UMC, has obviously had no issue with supporting nation-wrecking bullshit, they co-opted Trump and proved, for the millionth time, that they don't care about ordinary Americans and have been good at gradually wearing down any opposition toward oligarchy over the last 50 years.

During the Progressive and New Deal era, there was growing attempts to safe-guard American culture, people, and industry. Whereas since circa 1970, we’ve seen the Republicans win the White House in 1968, 1972, 1980, 1984, 1988, 2000, 2004, and 2016. And what do we have to show for it? Ever growing levels of off-shoring and immigration. Anyone who thinks that rewarding the GOP with the White House again ….And again, will make any difference…..Is a fool. We have to keep the GOP out of office for quite some time for them to understand what’s good for America. That’s what the GOP spent 1900-1940 learning, and they need to re-learn the same lesson…Even if it takes 40 years.

There's a lot of modern ignorance about the Reagan era because decadent modern "conservatives" no longer oppose these bad modern trends. Whereas back in the 80's, most people were well aware that society was getting more dysfunctional in some ways, and our government was not getting much better.

That is why white-Hispanic and white-Asian offspring will never be seen as visible minorities in America (whether they choose to play up the other side for ‘diversity’ reasons, which don’t benefit Asians anyway, is another matter).
The average is 40%. Hence, the offspring is 70% white. Effectively, an Italian-looking offspring (if that).
By 2nd gen, the gender balance is a lot less lopsided, as Twinkie’s data has shown. The offspring will always be at least upper middle class, so will never be seen as a visible, problematic group.
But white-Hispanic and white-Asian intermarriage is rising quickly. That is not in dispute.
Consciously, from a K selection perspective it makes considerable sense.
I used to have interest in East Asian girls, before I encountered something called “r/Hapa”.
No thanks, I don’t want my sons hating me.
If “the box” acquires greater potency under a perma-blue government, it would certainly force me to adjust my preferences.
Otoh, conservative women that are SES peers don’t really exist; so I doubt I will be marrying anytime soon.
My chart indicates that 89% of all interracial pairings involve one white spouse. That means only 11% do not.
Your chart largely corroborates this.
What you are screeching about is that half of Asians don’t outmarry, while half do. But the half that do still overwhelmingly go for whites.
Note that in your chart, a Korean marrying a Chinese still counts as interethnic, when at the interracial level, that would not register.
For clarity, your claim is that half of Asians that marry interracially marry non-whites. No one else here supports your claim, btw.
In other words, your claim is only true if you count Chinese-Korean, or Japanese-Filipino, or Vietnamese-Cambodian marriages as ‘interracial’. Of course, no one here does that.
Are you a White Trashionalist? Members of that group are infamously bad at reading graphs and charts.
No, it’s area-dependent. If you’ve lived in a once middle-middle class Midwestern suburban area that now is home to more prole trashy white girls dating black guys or toting around Uncle Sam funded mulatto kids, then that is going to leave an impression. Elite whites are still very resistant to black-white pairings in their own lives (how many blacks do you see with Jewish biological parents?), but a lot of prole white girls are still getting knocked up by black dudes.
I think we’re seeing more and more evidence of the elite-prole divide that’s been widening for 50 years. There are now large chunks of the Northeast, Midwest, and South full of hopeless section 8’ers and SSI recipients, white and black alike. They are being left behind, and often are breeding with each other across the racial aisle at a rate far higher than what we saw pre-1990 (per Charles Murray, the 90’s is when elite and prole whites fully split from each other). But the Western US, and the affluent areas of the Northeast, Midwest, and South, house affluent whites and a growing number of Asians and talented tenth Hispanics. Here, interracial dating when it does happen usually doesn’t involve the most undesirable/poor/incarcerated demographic, black males.
But my over-all point that the current dating patterns of whites is science-fiction from the perspective of pre-1990 America still stands.
Hey, there’s a huge market in knife, and blunt-object defense to be exploited.
Also, in the Latin culture, if you are basically white looking with known white ancestry, you are white...the one drop basically works in the other direction. Culture plays a part too, as well as social class (there are clearly high-caste mestizos that are part of the white latin culture).

Many of the Brits also act like they know US culture and people,. Americans are criticized for being “ignorant” of other cultures even though most Americans never pretend to know that much about foreign lands. Well, most people in any given country don’t really understand foreign cultures all that well, for obvious reasons. The primary exception being countries that border each other (so yeah, Germans and French have some understanding of each other, and Americans and Canadians do too).
So communism was a "good thing" afterall. :)Replies: @dfordoom
Communism was an awesomely good thing for a lot of people. It was fantastic for the officer class of the U.S. military – a huge standing army required lots of generals so there were great opportunities for promotion. It was superb for defence contractors – they made untold billions out of the Cold War. It was terrific for the spooks – agencies like the CIA got mountains of money thrown at them. It was great for American politicians – so many opportunities for political grandstanding. It helped Reagan get elected.
If communism had not existed the U.S. military-industrial complex would have had to invent it.
An enormous number of people owed their entire careers to the Cold War. They were devastated when it ended.
And they're not going to believe you because the media and the schools have spent decades telling them the opposite as part of a deliberate and concerted disinformation campaign.
It's not just impossible to explain modern politics to normies. It's almost impossible to explain it to dissident rightists who, to a depressing degree, will insist that Bernie Sanders and Jeremy Corbyn are dangerous communists and that open borders is a communist plot.
And as far as intellectual freedom is concerned you have to try to get people to understand that as a guarantee of intellectual freedom the First Amendment is pretty much useless. All it does is guarantee freedom of speech to billionaires who own media or social media empires.
Then you try to explain to them that the Second Amendment was intended to prevent the establishment of a standing army because the men who framed the Second Amendment believed (quite correctly) that standing armies would give the state a monopoly on the use of force and lead to tyranny. You have to try to explain that that battle was irretrievably lost three-quarters of a century ago and that whether you can or can't buy an AR-15 at WalMart is pretty much irrelevant.Replies: @Talha, @iffen, @Feryl, @95Theses
Re: In regard to understanding the function of the Second Amendment, the intent of the Framers is lost on even many (if not most) supporters of gun rights. The amendment was not intended principally for personal defense, but – as you say – as a hedge against the tyranny of the State.
The beginning of the Cold War was a turning point. It gave the US Government the justification for maintaining an immense standing army and an immense surveillance/social control apparatus in peacetime.Replies: @iffen, @95Theses

It is obvious that their intent was to prevent the federal government from preventing the establishment of militias. It is obvious that they intented to allow the flourishing of state militias and innumberable local ones. The personal right to bear arms would ensure that any individual could join a militia as an armed member. The personal right is the mechanism intended to ensure and facilitate the formation of militias.
I apologize for both my tardy reply and the length of my follow-up questions, but apparently I still need some clarity.
1) When you write that “in favor” could have been better said, “would you support your relative marrying an X”, am I to understand this to mean that the respondent’s selection is their first choice or the next best thing after their first choice? And if the latter case, does this assume that marrying someone of their own race is a given preference?
2) When you say that, “they couldn’t simultaneously favor a relative marrying a partner of all four races simultaneously”, do I understand “simultaneously favor” to mean that their second (and so on) preferences are equal, and race makes no difference in any case?
3) Could not a category for “least favor” or something similar have been added to the survey? What I mean is, if all the bars are positive is this because this kind of graph makes it impossible to represent a negative response?
Again, I never took a course in statistics in college – though now it looks like should have. So, lastly, can you recommend a book for tyros like me?
2) The same participants were asked four separate questions--would they favor a close relative marrying X? Because most respondents said they'd favor or be neutral towards a close relative marrying a member of all four major racial groups, many respondents clearly weren't engaging in any rank ordering. A lot of respondents answered they'd be supportive in each of the four cases.
3) How I wish instead of "strongly support/oppose" we'd have "most/least favor"!
It's been nearly 20 years and they were just generic textbooks. Email Derb, I suspect he has some good ones.
Not that I have seen, maybe on the margins or in certain areas, but generally, you find them same thing world wide, most non-blacks want nothing to do with blacks, outliers (i.e. fat women, occasional normal Becky) aside. There seems to be a natural instinct to avoid something so “other” in every culture, unless it is looked up to (White Westerns love affair of Japanese).

Sure, he is not inviting millions of Africans to move into the Caucasus and doubt that's what he wants to do, but don't you think it's a bit hyperbolic that most non-blacks want to avoid blacks? I've generally had very positive interactions with the vast majority of blacks I've come across, but my experience may be skewed since a lot of my interaction is within the Muslim community. I do however want to avoid any woke-BLM types like the plague.
Even when I used to deliver some of our college papers out to places like South Central, I had fairly good interactions with people (this was back in the late 90's and early 2000's so maybe things have gotten worse) - though I must admit, I didn't really live there so I didn't experience the environment comprehensively. Also, I was not a Euro and came in looking very visibly Muslim - skull-cap, beard, etc. so that may have skewed things also - random guys would be giving me "salaamssalaikum" and I'm pretty sure they weren't Muslim.I think it's more a preference for one's own culture and cascading in-group* that's more at play rather than a conscious avoidance (I mean people like to take vacations to exotic places) - but maybe this is saying the same thing and just semantics.

Following up on this – I think most non-blacks would be fine interacting with blacks (not necessarily marrying them or feeling obligated to invite them to every party or something) as long as the interactions are mutually beneficial and respectful.
“The beginning of the Cold War was a turning point. It gave the US Government the justification for maintaining an immense standing army …”
I have attempted to sideline myself on two issues color baiting and poor grasp of historical events.
1. The US has always had a standing military. It developed over time, but the founders new that they would need a standing military if they were to have a country. The first school for training military officers was established in 1802. The first established standing army was in 1792.
2. The United States Navy was officially established in 1792.
3. What some of the founders thought can be found on a brief look on the net even Wkipedia
It follows then as certain as that night succeeds the day, that without a decisive naval force we can do nothing definitive, and with it, everything honorable and glorious.
— George Washington 15 November 1781, to Marquis de Lafayette[15]
Would to Heaven we had a navy able to reform those enemies to mankind, or crush them into non-existence.
— George Washington 15 August 1786, to Marquis de Lafayette[16]
Naval power . . . is the natural defense of the United States
— John Adams[17]
————————————–
Anyone who think the turning points for reaffirming the need and expanding the mission of the US military was the cold war needs to head back to HS history courses.
The Tuning Points:
1. westward expansion
2. the war of 1812
3. the Mexican American war
4. the civil war
5. westward expansion
6. Spanish American war
7. WWI
There are plenty of reasons/causes between
Furthermore youth is no excuse for not knowing that the cold war was not an imaginary made up conflict. And anyone who thinks it was beneficial, has an odd understanding of benefit. Challenging the communist threat to
“bury the west”
was costly and wasteful. Tax dollars that should have been invested into all manner of developments, not the least of which leaving money in the hands of its citizens to meet their needs, wants and demands among them. Furthermore the development of the I helped spawn the income gap and the exponential growth of special interests and lobbying . . .
The cold war spawned a paranoia that left the US scarred and misguided. The n umber of regions that were and have yet to recover from proxy battles is a burden to the global community today and has fueled that destablization that exists today. The overall damage to the global economy is untold. The fact that few benefited is not a sign that the overall impact was a benefit.
The founders established the foundations for the military we have today. Sure there are issues, but a look back demonstrates that the early tears of the country debated military adventures ever since Pres. Jefferson wanted to enter the fray between the French and the British and reasons for the war against Mexico.
I am biting my tongue in keeping my word on refraining from comment about peculiar notions that crop up about culture and color.
But as I read, it requires monumental restraint — to ignore the volumes of incorrect social understanding.
Including the extreme notions espoused by authors on the sight who should know better.

Yes, I was basically speaking of the sexual relations/marriage part (thus my comments that perhaps fat women, etc). Socially, at least in Latin America and most of the US, whites and blacks rarely interact above the superficial level , such as mandatory close proximity at work, or joint events where their children are involved in sports. I am not speaking of a lack of respect, or hatred, just simply noting, as the demographic-zip code analysis shows, and every lunchtime cafeteria groupings show, most people don’t want to be around blacks. They want to segregate too, but in general, all groups (Koreans, Chinese, Indians, (non black) Latinos, (non black) Arabs, Persians, etc), avoid being around blacks.
Acts of charity and generosity not only do not indicate people want to be around blacks, anymore than helping a homeless person means you want them in their home.
Do you think any single person in Khabib’s family will marry someone of (significant, noticeable) African descent? Especially any of the women?

OK – sorry, I thought it was a more general statement.
Again, I’m not so sure about this. I went to a high school with very few blacks, but they were quite popular. I also knew a convert brother that was black, but in high school (as a non-Muslim) used to hang with the skater crowd. He also said he was one of the very few blacks in his school, but people were friendly to him and he got quite a bit of attention from girls – maybe because he was a novelty…? Don’t know if these guys were outliers. Maybe it’s a dynamic of numbers – when there are just a few of any minority, there isn’t tension since they aren’t really seen as a threat, but rather something exotic and different.
Highly doubtful. But I doubt they’ll marry outside of their clan-based marriage patterns anyway and marry any outsider (black or otherwise).
Peace.
This is not true at all. Back when the CDC website had easily viewable data on interracial births, I remember seeing that BMWF births were increasing year after year until 2014, which is the last year for which they had easily viewable data. And that's consistent with what I see IRL.Replies: @Feryl
When did the increase start? When did it really ramp up? It seems like pre-1990 is when most BMWF pairings often had talented tenth black guys, but over-all dating across racial lines was pretty rare. Then the 1990’s happened; cultural liberalism surged, and it seemed like things got so….black. Rap and the NBA peaked in popularity. Clothes got really baggy, clown-like. Older generations, before the 90’s, gave signals (to varying degrees of subtlety) to their white descendants that intimacy with blacks was taboo. Charles Murray says that out of wedlock births to whites increased dramatically in the 90’s, and reported levels of religiosity also began to decline. So it looks like the 1990’s were the real beginning of the destruction of the traditional white community (after all, other than not reproducing at all, the other sure-fire way for whites to not pass on their genes is to procreate with blacks who’s genes dominate white genes). It’s true that whites did more drugs, and were more promiscuous, in the 70’s and 80’s. Yet whites in those decades were not pathologically filled with racial self-loathing and still respected basic mores about family structure and under what circumstances you should have kids.
