It seems that a disproportionate amount of married nerds I met in real life have asian wives, and there’s probably some interesting explanation, though I don’t know which one.
I’ve wondered how much of this could just be socio-economic status matching: whites and east Asians in the USA are probably the two wealthiest and best-educated groups at this point.
That doesn’t fit my observations much: here in France, East Asians are a quite small slice of the wealthy-and-educated, first because there’s not that many of them, and second because the older generation’s ideal for their children is more “take over the family business” rather than “get a prestigious diploma” (this is changing though).
