Black men Asian womenGenerally, Black men and Asian women are by far the two racial groups with the highest number of interracial marriages. And the reason for this (as racist, subjective and stereotypical as it may sound) is that Black men are perceived to be physically attractive by women of different races; and the same goes for Asian women who appeal to men of various race.

Generally, Black men possess some unparalleled masculinity and athletic bodies that all women consider an attractive quality for any man to possess. On the other hand, Asian women have femininity and exotic features which are desired by men of all races. So for the pure reason of physical attractiveness, Black men and Asian women seem to spark more interest from women and men of different races – especially Whites.

Since these two groups are soooo desirable, you’d expect a mutual physical attraction between one another right? But on the contrary, the number of Black men Asian women couples remains small – an indisputably tiny potion of 2% of all interracial marriages of U.S. residents. So does this mean the most desired groups by all races find each other least desirable?

Some analysts think Yes! Apparently, East Asian women for example don’t discriminate against White men (being the reason for the high numbers of Asian women White men relationships) but they do discriminate against Black men. So they show less interest in them. Others say the match between Black men and Asian women is rare because the Asian woman does not fit the Black man’s ideal beautiful woman.

Is the reason behind the desire to be with one another purely based on physical attraction? Is there more behind the discrimination of Asian women against Black men (if the allegations are true that is)?

    Asian and black couples are rare. The bw/am are an even a smaller group. Who knows maybe it is preference on both parts, but I also think it isn’t as acceptable for them to have black husband or want black kids. I also think bm like curvy women.

    I agree, most of us like’em “swollen around the colon” (LMAO)! Asian women run just too small for my preferecne.

    I’ve traveled a lot as a prior service member and now as US Army Contractor and I don’t see too many women from China, Japan or Korea with BM but I see more Philippinas, Thai, Malayan and Indonesian women with BM. From what I’ve seen I find the last group of women I mentioned more open and receptive of BM. I’ve seen more of my contracting friends marry Malayan and Philippinas then any other group of Asian women.

    Marrying a white male is more favorable for AW since it’s viewed an upgrade. It is true that they discriminate against black males because of perception – real or imagined. Of course AW aren’t individuals who – generally has the wherewithal to take a stand. If they’ve been condition to stay away from a BM then it’s unlikely they’ll go against the grain. Surprising? No. I’m deviating a little, nonetheless, these are invdividuals who often support their own and is more interested in ‘pulling’ (hey..just keep supporting the chinese etc. stores and all’s well) from a system than contributing. In the end, we’re all a day closer to our graves. Let them discriminate

    Asians for the most part are predjudice. They are taught to be that at an early age. I knw a few families like this. They told me i wasnt black because im in the same economic range they were, and continued to show their racisim about blk men. I looked at them like they were crazy. The last thing they want is their daughters to be defiled by the blk man, its crazy…..ask somebody if u dont beleave me…

    My grandmother is Chinese my grandfather is black from the south. How they hooked up still baffled me lol but I will say the perception of a black man in this country is everything but positive. Unfortunately there idea of a black man is what they see on mtv and bet which is really sad. I’ve heard some Asian women say black men are attractive but dnt make good husbands which is something I’m pretty sure they were told growing up.

      My grandfather is Chinese and my grandmother is black, so I know Asian and black relationships happen. I’m from the Caribbean and it was very commonplace to see BWAM relationships, but in the US it seems the opposite is true here. Actually what you mentioned about your grandparents does not surprise me. My understanding is that many years ago in the US everyone who was not white was considered black (or less than etc.) and white people did not mix with them and minorities intermixed (with black people) more than they do now. After some time, there seemed to be targeted campaign to depict Asians as positive and blacks as negative. This image made white people more likely to date Asians and if you don’t know any black people, Asians would be more willing to date whites than the blacks who are depicted negatively.

      Asians are considered the model minority and the stereotypes about them are that they’re smart and hard working, etc etc. while black people are seen as uneducated and criminals. I think the main reason other races don’t date black people is because of the negative perception of black people, but people are mixing in schools etc and younger people are more open minded, so I’m sure Asian and black relationships will be more commonplace in time to come.

    Most men don’t make good husbands. But that’s mostly because most women don’t make good wives. Men and women need different things. And compromise is the only way to make relationships work.

    All the Asian girls I know like Black men as much as I do. It’s not as cut and dry as people make it. The heart is much more powerful than people realize. People cannot help who they love and attracted to, just like they can’t control whom they are not attracted to. Racism is silly and need not be a part of our world. It’s a made up issue that has no merit. People are who they are and not what they look like. Everything else is ignorance.

    Ms. Rachelle hi, I agree with you to some degree but why is it that when black men or a man will speak to a Asian woman they look at us as if we are aliens. You say that Asian woman like black guys so where are they I really would like to know?

    The Cuban population is predominately of African descent, which is the case for islands in the Carribbean, as well as Brazil. The media however tends to prefer to portray the lighter skinned ones as examples of their culture. So Cuban women do in fact partner with B.males wthin their culture.
