"Space isn't remote at all. It's only an hour's drive away if your car could go straight upwards." - Fred Hoyle

Some US statistics supporting my theory of interracial dating:

Married Couples in the United States in 2006:
White WifeBlack WifeAsian WifeOther Wife
White Husband50,224,000117,000530,000489,000
Black Husband286,0003,965,00034,00045,000
Asian Husband174,0006,0002,493,00013,000
Other Husband535,00023,00041,000558,000


The data are compiled on Wikipedia and cited from the 2006 census, but I couldn't find it in there. The most I could find was a table which only specified the exact breakdown for Black husband/White wife vs White husband/Black wife, but other data seems to corroborate it.

3 choose 2 = 3 (since 'other' is not a meaningful category), so:

The ratio of Black men with White women to White men with Black women is 2.44.
The ratio of White men with Asian women to Asian men with White women is 3.05.
The ratio of Black men with Asian women to Asian men with Black women is 5.67.

All in all, exactly what my theory would predict.
