USA:n statistiikkaa Wikipediasta:

Although mixed-race partnering has increased, the United States still shows huge disparities between African American male and African American female endogamy statistics. The 1990 census reports that 17.6% of African American marriages occur with whites. Yet African American men are 2.5 times more likely to be married to white women than African American women to white men. In the 2000 census, 239,477 African American male to white female and 95,831 white male to African American female marriages were recorded, again showing the 2.5-1 ratio. Despite this, slightly more white men are married than white women.

One major reason is that there is also a disparity between Asian women and Asian men: according to the census data from 2000, Asian American women were 2.9 times more likely to be married to a white man (398,349) than Asian American men married to a white woman (136,358). For other racial groups, non-Hispanic white men are slightly more likely to marry women of those groups than vice versa. With African Americans and Asian Americans, the ratios are even further imbalanced, with 28,500 African American male to Asian American female and 4,841 Asian American male to African American female marriages recorded.
