Native American and Asian

Filipino Americans have often married Native American and Alaskan Native American people. During the 17th century, when Filipinos were under Spanish rule the Spanish government guarantees a Filipino trade between the Philippines and the Americas. When the Mexicans rebelled against the Spanish, the Filipinos first escaped into Mexico, then traveled to Louisiana, where the only Filipinos married Native American women. In the 1920s, Filipino American communities of workers also grew in Alaska, and Filipino American men married Alaskan Native women. On the west coast, Filipino Americans married Native American women in Bainbridge Island, Washington. In the 1920's Japanese men married Eskimo women around western Alaska. During the 1930's, there was relatively common intermarriage between Japanese Americans and Cherokee Indians in California, since these ethnic groups were announced or working as farm worker and they worked together.

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.
