Really interesting and well cited exploration into racial dating preferences. The discriminatory anecdotes resonate, and interesting to see them exposed so boldly in the literature.
I’d like to see more data on how these preferences are rated across age brackets in specific locations—my intuition would be that these preferences arise as a function of how well integrated different races are for a given generation and location, with that impacting social distancing and thus expressed preferences (from perceived in-group/out-group).
I don’t think within-race asymmetries necessarily discount a social integration explanation as this itself can be asymmetric across gender—for example, working in tech, I’m exposed to a lot of South Asian men, but not a lot of South Asian women.
