It isn't important to me, but by your reaction to it, you seem touchy about the subject.
I simply noted how this chat board appears to be a microcosm of the rest of the country in terms of interracial couples. I find that an interesting observation. I just noted it and asked others what their perception was.
Then you got all defensive and started citing non-statistically significant samples to try to say my observations aren't valid. You need to ask yourself why this makes you so defensive.

Here is a link someone sent me from a recent salon.com article:
"In 1998, black-white couples in which the wife is black made up 37 percent of all black-white marriages nationwide, up from only 22 percent in 1980."

I think the fact that the disparity may be closing is an interesting observation, too. However, I agree with the poster who said that there may be problems trying to compare one set of census data to another set, given the changes in the census survey.
Anyhow, I find it more interesting than the rapist wannabe's post about Russian nymphet pop stars. Don't let my erudite posts get in the way of you chatting about that.
