Posted by Peter Rosa on Tue Jun 20 20:30:17 2006, in response to Re: The Jewish Woman Shortage, posted by AEM-7AC #901 on Tue Jun 20 20:06:41 2006. Not true! Two of my wife's brothers are married to Latinas.Just as a curious question? How "white" looking are these Latinas? I'd take a guess and say they're relatively white-looking with few features of African decent. Which brings up a point others have noted, and which I have noticed myself once I read about it. Even though there's supposedly a high intermarriage (and, presumably inter-dating) rate between whites and Hispanics, I don't see very many mixed white-Hispanic couples. Some, to be sure, but not the numbers one would expect. Two theories have been proposed for this gap between numbers and observations: 1. Most of the white-Hispanic mixing takes place in parts of the country where there isn't a big Hispanic population, where the sense of Hispanics as a "minority" isn't well-developed, and therefore there really aren't many white-Hispanic couples to be seen in places like New York, California, Florida etc. 2. Most of the Hispanic partners in mixed relationships are light-skinned, and therefore the interracial nature of the relationships isn't always apparent to the casual observer. My LIRR/NYCT blog |
