“Black/White Dating Online: Interracial Courtship in the 21st Century”

University of California, Berkeley
The goal of the current research was to further our knowledge of interracial dating by examining concurrently the stated and revealed preferences of Black and White users of a major online dating site. The study is based on a nationwide sample of more than a million participants who were seeking a date with a member of the opposite sex.
The major questions to be addressed follow:
1. To what extent do Black and White daters state an interest in dating (a) members of their own race, and (b) members of a race/ethnicity other than their own?
2. To what extent do Black and White daters initiate contact with persons of their own race and of a race/ethnicity other than their own? In particular, what are the relative rates of Black–Black, Black–White, White–White, and White–Black contacts initiated by participants?
3. To what extent do Black and White daters reciprocate contacts they have received online
Race. As part of their personal profile, users indicated their own racial/ethnic identification by selecting one from among a list of labels provided by the site. For this article, we selected only those who self-identified as African American/Black or Caucasian/White.
The Results:
The results for stated and revealed preferences are shown in Tables 1–3.
Preferences
In sum, Whites more than Blacks and women more than men stated a preference for a partner of their own race/ethnicity. Black males were least selective in the sense that the majority of them stated no preference in regard to the race/ethnicity of a potential partner. White females, half of whom sought a partner of their own race/ethnicity, were the most selective of the four Race/Gender groups.
2-Contacts Initiated
The most striking feature of the table is the difference between the behavior of the White and the Black users. An overwhelming majority (85% for females and males combined) of the contacts initiated by Whites were to Whites and a correspondingly small percent (3%) were to Blacks.
What about users who stated no racial or ethnic preferences? Was their stated indifference to race and ethnicity reflected in their behavior? The answer for Whites is that it was not, for even among those who specified no preference, contacts to Whites predominated greatly and contacts to Blacks were at a low level irrespective of age. In contrast, a majority of the contacts initiated by Black users in the category any were to members of races or ethnicities other than their own, including Whites.
3-Percent of Contacts Reciprocated
Black users, in fact, were as a group more likely to reciprocate a message from a White person than from a Black person, White users who stated an indifference to race and ethnicity nevertheless reciprocated at a higher rate to Whites than to Blacks or others, but Blacks, both male and female whose stated preference was any reciprocated at a higher rate to Whites and others than to Blacks.
Young White individuals who stated an indifference to the race or ethnicity of a partner were, in fact, highly selective in their revealed preferences; 85% of the contacts they initiated were to Whites and 3% to Blacks. Were they hypocritical, alert to the realities of the social world, striving for political correctness, attempting an optimizing strategy of self-presentation?
The Conclusion
We analyzed personal profiles and records of communication for more than a million nationwide users of a major online dating site. Overall, Blacks, especially Black men, proved more open to cross-race dating than did Whites. More than 80% of the contacts initiated by Whites were to Whites, with only 3% to Blacks. This sharp difference held for men and women and even for those who stated no racial or ethnic preference in their profiles. Blacks were 10 times more likely to contact Whites than Whites were to contact Blacks.
There was, however, an inconsistency between stated and revealed preferences for women: Women who stated no preference in regard to race/ethnicity nevertheless revealed in their behavior a strong same-race/ethnicity preference.
Together, the above studies suggest that (1) individuals’ decisions about who interests them as a potential date are strongly influenced by considerations of race/ethnicity, and (2) what individuals say they want can differ from what their behavior reveals about their preferences. This distinction between stated and revealed preferences will be of central concern in the current research.
To summarize, on both measures of revealed preference, Black users showed more interest in cross-race dating than did White users. This was the case for men and women, for the young and even for those (in the category any) whose stated preferences indicated an indifference to a partner’s ethnicity
