This is a fascinating thread. I agree with Cynique on just about every single point she's made. But there is one thing Cynique is wrong about. In Los Angeles County, one of the most surprising turn of events has been the explosion of Mexican Man-Black Woman couples. I would say that Latino Male/Black Female couples now outnumber Black Male/Latino Female pairings handidly. But the number of Black Male/White Female pairings still dominate all. There is also a Statistical Shortage of Black Females in the Los Angeles area now because of the "Exodus" of Black females after 2000 when Black men began choosing non-black partners and Black women, at that time, had no one to date. I would say the shortage of Black females has caused a major change. There is a "down low" dating phenomena going on with BW/Latino Men. Biracial Black Men is a "new" group, mostly teenaged or college age and they seem to choose Black females I would say 3 to 1. Is this the Barack Obama effect, because they also tend to seek out darker skinned black girls I notice. Of course, in Los Angeles or San Diego, it extremely is rare to see Black Men and Black Women pairings up unless you go to the last of the ghetto areas, which aren't many anymore. Compton and Watts are now both over 60% Latino, so you don't have a huge black population anymore. The new desert towns of Moreno Valley and Victorville still have what is called "Black love", the majority BlackMan/Black Woman couples are in tact in those areas. But that's about it for California. I would say this state is the interracial mecca rivaled only by Seattle and Minneapolis. |
