Asian men 'most excluded' on the Internet dating scene
Asian men 'most excluded' on the Internet dating scene
- June 7, 2011
- A study by Cynthia Feliciano, sociology and Chicano/Latino studies associate professor, and Belinda Robnett, sociology associate professor, is featured in the Asian Correspondent June 7, 2011
From the Asian Correspondent:
Apparently Asian men are actually worse off than their black counterparts, at least
in one category - dating preferences of white American women. According to a survey
of racial exclusion patterns in Internet dating, the most excluded categories are
Asian men and black women. A survey of 6,000 Internet dating profiles by Belinda Robnett
and Cynthia Feliciano of the University of California, Irvine, reportedly found that
"Asian males and black females are more highly excluded than their opposite sex counterparts."
In other words, white American women would rather opt for black men than Asian males
(including East Indian, Pakistani and Bangladeshi), although generally they tend to
be more educated, more qualified, more gainfully employed and better placed in the
social hierarchy than the average black male.
