If both people were middle class and educated, why would Asian's prefer

white's over black's? I don't believe this is necessarily the case. I know there are people who will blame poor black people for harming the image of middle black people too. If you look at statistics though, Asian women are not all that more likely to marry white men than they are black men. It only seems like it's a lot more because there's so many more white men than there are black men in the U.S. By proportion though, it's similar.

The difference is in women. Although the rate of Asian women with white men is higher than Asian men with white women, there's still a decent amount of Asian men with white women. I think it might be like 2 to 1 or something like that. There's not many black women with Asian men though. I never really understood why. Maybe it'd have little contact with each other. Or it could be that many Asian guy's are upper-middle class and just get married less simply because people with more education and money are less likely to get married and have kids.
Ed the Sophmore - There's about 105 million white men in the United States. There's about 20 million black men. There's in between 5 and 6 times the amount of white men than there are black and that doesn't even include Latinos are also racially white.

So you couldn't compare it 40 to 400. You'd have to compare it proportionally. In this case, it'd be like 200-250 to 400 which is a margin. You could understand the margin more though. Around 30-40% of black men - is the same percentage of how much more white men proportionally marry Asian women as that of black's who are either poor, working class or have criminal records.

For black's who are middle class and relatively educated, it'd be pretty similar. Asian women aren't going to marry poor black or poor white men much because they don't live around them much. Poorer people are usually more likely to stay within their own background too.
 
Why do people look for reasons other than the most obvious reason?

Btw...many Black women are middle/upper middle class and a large percentage never get married. Not out of choice...but they cannot find a suitable partner.
 
There are over 400,000 Asian women married to white men, and only around say...40,000 married to black guys. Not much of a big difference?

I think Asians prefer Asians to be honest, and maybe there are just more Asian guys/girls that prefer to date white if they date IR than black. Oh well, big deal, it's called a personal preference. Some may want, or be willing to, date a black person, some won't.

Then again, this could go the other way around to. Why do black's prefer white partners (if dating IR) than Asian? There are wayyyyy more black men/women marrid to white women/men than asian women/men. And majority of blacks just date blacks (majority of people in all races seem to stick to their own kind). Again, personal preference. Some black men/women wouldn't think twice when they saw an asian woman/man, and some wouldn't mind going for it.
