Recently the New York Times had an article, For Asian-American Couples, a Tie That Binds. I didn’t mind the piece myself, but it deals in lots of stereotypes of white people. For example: ““I didn’t like that he thought that was weird,” she said. “That’s my role in the family. As I grew older, I realized a white guy was much less likely to understand that.”” It’s entirely possible that a white is less likely to understand, but imagine if a white woman said this by way of explaining why she generally dated white men; in short, colored men had some hang-ups.
Contrast this celebration of homogamy with what’s going on on The Bachelor. This series pairs white people with white people. It’s 1950 again! Though to be fair some Eurasian and Latino women have achieved some prominence. From what I recall the furthest a black woman made it occurred during the first season.
The Bachelor is implicit. But white preference for their own kind is reviled, including by those who exhibit the same exact preferences! Conversely, minorities who express similar racialized opinions are lauded.
