Examining racial and ethnic barriers is essential to understanding U.S. Marriage markets contain valuable information on the social exclusionary barriers that encourage in-group marriage, perpetuate monoethnic identity ( Rosenfeld, 2008), and suppress the well-being of individuals by restricting their access to distinct resources available to each racial and ethnic group ( Binning, Unzueta, Huo, & Molina, 2009).

Chinese and Japanese Americans were frequently noted as the racial groups that achieved the highest levels of economic assimilation and for whom race and ethnicity mattered the least ( Chin, 2005 Nee & Sanders, 1985 Sakamoto et al., 2000).Īs Payne (1989) noted, however, even when structural assimilation, including economic and educational incorporation, takes place, social exclusion in intimate relationships could persist ( Tinker, 1982). Over the past few decades, some sociologists have argued that the significance of race declined for Blacks and other racial or ethnic minority groups (e.g., Sakamoto, Wu, & Tzeng, 2000 Wilson, 1978).
