Asian and white

Marriages between White Americans and Asian Americans are increasingly common for both genders in the United States however marriages between Asian women and White men continue to outnumber the opposite coupling by almost 3 to 1. In 1990 about 69% of married Asian women around the ages 18 and 30 were married to Asian men, while 25% had White husbands. Back in 2006 41% of Asian American-born women were registered as having White husbands while 50% were married to Asian American men. A guy by the name L. Shinagawa found the ratio likely to expand wherever an Asian population is the largest and most started agreeing to a 1990 study in San Francois. Asian women married partners of European descent at four times the rate Asian men did. The research in Sacramento the ratio was found to be 8 to 1. I had found out that back in 1998 Washington Post article states 36% of young Asian Pacific American men born in the United States married White women, and 45% of U.S. born Asian Pacific American women took White husbands during the year of publication. According to those who studied (Jenifer L. Bratter and Rosalind B. King) they published on the Education Resources Information Center White female-Asian male couples however are more prone to divorced than Asian female White male couples.
