Study: white women who marry Asian men are better educated, better paid, in more equal partnerships, less divorced
According to a recent study on intermarriage by the Pew Research Center, white women* who married Asian men were college educated at a far higher rate (57.2%) than those who married white men (37.3%) or who married Hispanic men (32.5%) or black men (25.8%). They also are more likely to be employed (92.8%), had median earnings far higher than other white women, and were more likely to be in a first marriage (76.6%).
The study didn’t address the question, but one might also conclude that these generally highly educated, independent, and capable white women are less susceptible to false myths and distorted media representations of Asian men, which makes them, in turn, all the more desirable, and not just to Asian men.
In sum, Asian men tend to attract the cream of the crop (at least according to the admittedly limited metrics above). In other words, the white woman who is drawn to Asian men might be rare (actually not so much), but in a good way: smarter, independent- and open-minded, and more attracted to those qualities that lead to successful long-term loving partnerships.
*please note that the study didn’t provide analysis of hispanic and black women who marry Asian men.
