In general, white women date or marry Asian men to escape the sexism of the white world and, at the same time, empower herself with the Asian culture they receive from their loving and supportive Asian boyfriend or husband?

In general, white men date or marry white women because of racist traditions and stereotypes about white women?

The mail-order bride industry helps white men get Asian women from developing nations. There are no similar marriage or dating services for Asian-Asian coupling?

Trends that were brought up were not to say ALL relationships are like that, but rather the point was to bring up possible reasons why the numbers are the way they are, sorry if that was unclear, but since there is no one right answer, we discussed multiple, and in some cases contrasting, reasons from what has been experienced in our own lives, but that is not to say others may have different opinions.

I don’t know if that answered it, but I am confused by your questions, are they actual questions or an attempt to be sarcastic? What was brought up has little to do with what was discussed, please clarify…I didn’t really discuss why Asian men date women, but rather why Asian women date white men and the mail-order bride info was to explain why numbers might be so high in the U.S. among Asian women-white men pairings.
