Maybe I misread this article, but I could swear that it is basically confirming that Black people are one of the groups that is least likely to marry outside of their race. Maybe I misread the article, but this part kind of stood out:
"... According to the Pew report, more than 25 percent of Hispanics and Asians who married in 2010 had a spouse of a different race. That's compared to 17.1 percent of blacks and 9.4 percent of whites. Of the 275,500 new interracial marriages in 2010, 43 percent were white-Hispanic couples, 14.4 percent were white-Asian, 11.9 percent were white-black, and the remainder were other combinations.
Still, the share of Asians who intermarried has actually declined recently - from 30.5 percent in 2008 to 27.7 percent in 2010. In contrast, blacks who married outside their race increased in share from 15.5 percent to 17.1 percent, due in part to a rising black middle class that has more interaction with other races... ."
It seems like some people are making a mountain out of a molehill, but the truth be told: Black people almost always marry Black people. It is rare when Black people don't marry Black people as in the fact that 86% of married Black men are married to Black women and 94% of married Black women are married to Black men. I haven't looked it up, but that is probably in line with or higher than any other group. Maybe we can find another woe is me topic for Black people, because this one has no basis in reality.
