From The Atlantic:
A quick search on nearly any targeted dating site reveals poachers – people who use
these sites to find a partner of a certain demographic to which they themselves do
not belong. … Stereotypes, such as the notion that a Jew will have strong family values
or an Asian will be highly educated, are “very enduring” despite “tons of disconfirming

Irvine, who focuses on ethnic minorities, interracial marriage, and multiracial identity.
“Even a complimentary stereotype can be damaging,” Lee said.
