Interracial marriage data

In a message to his e-mail subscribers UPI national correspondent Steve Sailer notes: “I still get several emails each week about my 1997 National Review article on interracial marriage: ‘Is Love Colorblind?’ That was based on 1990 Census data and I’ve been waiting for the release of the 2000 numbers. At long last, they are out and [I have written] the first news story to carry them.” As the reaction to Sailer’s 1997 article suggests, the subject has a funny kind of politically incorrect human interest. Sailer’s story on the 2000 census data is worth a look: “Interracial marriage gender gap grows.”
