Homogamy over the net: Using internet advertisements to discover who interracially dates

George Yancey

University of North Texas, gyancey{at}unt.edu

There is relatively scant research on who interracially dates. The propensity to interracially date may be linked to symbolic racism. It is possible that political conservatives and the highly religious have symbolically racist notions inhibiting their willingness to interracially date. The primary purpose of this research is to discover who is willing to interracially date with an emphasis upon possible religious and political factors. A national sample of internet personal advertisements indicate that political conservatism is inversely related to willingness to date regardless of race or to date Blacks while religiosity, after proper controls, is inversely related to willingness to interracially date at all. There is evidence that political ideology and religiosity both effect interracial dating but in different ways.

Key Words: exogamy • homogamy • internet personals • interracial dating • interracial relationships • racial endogamy • religious right
