I've also had people tell me that I'm not "really" in an interracial marriage because of the asian super race stereotype and because my husband was transracially adopted by a white family (like that cancels it out or something).

Also, the reason that Latino is not included as an ethnicity is because racial categorization is distinctly different in Latin American countries and there has been substantially more amalgamation. thus, the term Latino almost implicitly implies mixed race heritage, as a Latino person can be either White, Black, indigenous, Asian, or a combination of the four. Thus, a Latino person can claim the Latino ethnicity as well as one of many racial categorizations and Latinos from different countries can have substantially different appearances and cultures and thus cannot be considered as one united race.

It's only fair ... I got the information from your website, LOL. Rachel S, I was going to make the same point about latino-white interracial marriage, but I see you made it first.

It's disheartening that they're continuously overlooked and only adds to the misconception that they are a people of the past.

If you're going to look at intermarriage trends in this country (without focusing on a specific group), it doesn't make sense not discuss Asian intermarriage. Although I have a little problem with the second quote from the study. The Census does not count Latinos as a race, and there are ore marriages between Whites and Latinos than there are between Whites and Asians, in part because there are more Latinos. However, if you look at the intermarriages rates, there are certain Asian groups that do have really high out marriages rates--i.e. Japanese. They needed to tell people this because many people don't know. Yeah, they need to do an over sample.
