Re: The Jewish Woman Shortage

That ratio will be far less skewed when the next census is taken. Black women are far more willing to date and marry white men today than they did 10 years ago.

Nothing changed between the 1990 and 2000 censuses:

In 2000, African-American men had white wives 2.65 times more often than black women had white husbands. In other words, in 73 percent of black-white couples, the husband was black and wife was white.
(This interracial gender gap is even sharper among black-white couples who cohabit without being married. Five times as many black men live with white women as white men live with black women.)
Although some commentators had predicted that this intermarriage disparity should be evening out, this 2.65 ratio is similar to the 2.54 ratio in 1990.
