And none of this says anything about what happens after the email exchanges. It would be interesting to find out if this data continues to bear out when it comes to having sex and/or having long-term committed relationships.

Lastly, I would point out that “I prefer to date people of X race” does not necessarily equate to “I am a racist.” Racism is:
–noun
1. a belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human races determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one’s own race is superior and has the right to rule others.
2. a policy, system of government, etc., based upon or fostering such a doctrine; discrimination.
3. hatred or intolerance of another race or other races.

But then…when was the last time you saw people (on average) being reasonable or rational?
A: Exactly…you don’t see it that often.
