We talking about new marriages breh
I promise you that if you reread the article that it does not say that "
1/4 25% of black males are marrying out?"
The "new marriages that we have been discussing" (meaning 2010 (which is not new)); the 25% number is actually is in reference to Hispanics and Asians. Hispanics and Asians is who the 25% refers to; it does not refer to Black people, because a sentence later the article states that Black people were only 11.9% of the marriages. So somebody saw interracial and they assumed Black, when in fact the article is referencing Blacks, Hispanics and Asians as being different racially than Whites.
Secondly, the article clearly states that if/when Black people do intermarry then Black men "were more than twice as likely (24% to 9%) to do so than Black women. That is not the same thing as saying that 25% of Black men are marrying out. What is really being said is that if Black men and Black women married outside of their race; then Black men are likely to do so more than twice as often as Black women. That is in line with the 2014 stats that I showed from the Black Demographics website.
Here are the quotes from article:
- In all, more than
15 percent of new marriages in 2010 were interracial.
- 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.
-Intermarriage among whites rose in share slightly,
while among Hispanics the rate was flat, at roughly 25.7 percent.
-Broken down by gender,
black men were more than twice as likely as black women to marry someone outside their race - 24 percent to 9 percent. The reverse held true for Asian men - 17 percent intermarried, compared to 36 percent among Asian women.
