No offense but, I don't really care about divorce rates, that is a different story. I want to know why would 38% of hispanic men marry white women, especially when they seem to treasure their women so much, and don't like other men dating them. 38% is a HIGH number. It's confusing to me. I understand why an Asian man would do it, they are low in numbers, so they may want to blend in with the majority society, and their women are on some other shyt so they don't feel a need to stay within their group.
The only thing I can think of as to why a latin would do it is because, they see it as a come up, but why would a man think like that?. A woman yes, but a man?. It seems weird, unless they see the white women as a way to show they are making it in life?.
The bolded is what creates the initial appeal. In fact, it's what creates the initial appeal for lots of minority men that go for white girls. Latin men see it as "arriving" and having success because they have the culturally constructed status symbol of a white girl on his arm. Same reason any other minority man would want to have a white woman. I've heard the same justification from men of various groups.
The reason that I put up marriage success rates is because they're indicative of the nature of the relationship between the described people. 38% of Latin men marry white women because the relationships, at least as indicated by the statistics about divorce, are just as healthy as white/white relationships. Blending seems to come naturally and therefore the road to marriage is pretty smooth. Coupling this with the initial superficial appeal, and you've got the recipe for the statistic that you see here.
