nothing really shocking here, except that asian women rating asian men jumped from +10% to +25% in the last 5 years. this is somewhat surprising as it puts them at the same level that white women rate white men. (drag the slider all the way to the right).

in other words, at least on okcupid, asian women rate white men and asian men with roughly the same bias. that's a big swing in less than 10 years.

come to think of it, i haven't heard the familiar "i don't date asian guys" come from an asian girl in a very long time, possibly years.




Except in the opposite direction.

OK Cupid's white women's affinity for white men has decreased 6% since 2010; their female Asian customers' affinity for Asian men has increased 17%.

I suspect there are some serious issues with sample size in those early years.


I wonder how much of this is caused by OkCupid growing in Asia.

The study does not seem to be specific to the US...


that's a good point - curious as to what could possibly explain the drop in white/white ratings though.
