Because...? And "inter-racial" is unquestionably defined as...? You cannot control for all factors or even clearly define the terms involved, therefore such conclusions are meaningless. This is starting to smell like 'stormfront' statistics.
On this I happen to agree with you. Interracial couples divorce about 10 points higher than do same race couples. Nothing indicates that % difference is racial at all inside the marriage, that is probably from pressure outside the marriage.
If you consider my comments as "stormfront", you are as unstable as I have been suggesting that you are. You are in the same emotional storm boat with JRK, just for different reasons.
As far as the reason for the 10% differential: You are correct in that there is no evidence that it is attributable to internal or external factors. Ali seemed to believe it was BOTH: That culturally, "birds of a feather" would fly together. He also commented that he couldn't imagine any woman of another race being worth the hassel of having to contend with the external societial pressures such a union would face.
So why don't you conclude that sexism is what's behind it all? You're in quicksand here.
