Overall, Latinos and Asians were most likely to marry outside their race or ethnicity, the researchers found. More than a quarter of those in each group who wed in 2010 married someone of a different race. That compares with about 17% of blacks and about 9% of whites, although because whites are by far the largest racial group in the U.S., most intermarriages of all kinds included a white spouse.
