Examining the marital behavior of multiracial people is of particular importance to understanding their state of assimilation. Furthermore, the race of their spouse has important consequences for the racial classification of their offspring. Because the racial identity and experience of multiracial people differ by racial background (i.e., Asian\/white, black\/white, etc.), there may be differences in the marital patterns of multiracial subgroups in a marriage market segmented by race. In this study, I limit my analysis to non-Latino Asian\/white adults (18 and older) married to non-Latino whites, Asians, and Asian\/whites, and non-Latino black\/white adults married to non-Latino whites, blacks, and black\/whites. To compare the odds of Asian\/whites and black\/whites marrying whites, their nonwhite counterparts, and their multiracial counterparts, I use <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Multinomial_logit\" target=\"_blank\">multinomial logistic regression<\/a>. While both Asian\/whites and black\/whites are most likely to marry whites, results show significant differences between the two groups in terms of their odds of marrying whites, nonwhites, and multiracials. <strong>Whereas Asian\/whites are more likely than black\/whites to marry whites (vs. nonwhites) and multiracials (vs. nonwhites), black\/whites are more likely than Asian\/whites to marry nonwhites. Thus, results demonstrate that not only is the marriage market segmented by race among monoracials, it is also racially segmented among multiracials.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>To read the entire paper, click <a href=\"http:\/\/www.allacademic.com\/meta\/p308326_index.html\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Marital Patterns of Multiracial People in the United States: A Comparison of Asian\/Whites and Black\/Whites American Sociological Association Annual Meeting Hilton San Francisco San Francisco, California 2009-08-08 20 pages Michael Miyawaki Fordham University In this paper, I examine and compare the marital patterns of two multiracial groups\u2014Asian\/whites and black\/whites\u2014in the United States.
