![]() This is a complex area - it could be class related, but equally it seems that we aren't as progressive when it comes to interracial dating as we would like to think.ĭoes this mean that we find white people more attractive? It seems that way in some cases - but sometimes class is a higher factor, and some races definitely prefer to date within themselves. So, all this seems to show that we are racially prejudiced when it comes to who we find attractive. The study collected data from 250,000 people on online data sites to see whether they had racial preferences.īoth conservatives and liberals had a preference to date within their own race.Ĭonservatives were more likely to admit it, but liberals showed their racial preferences in their actions, viewing the profiles of people of the same race as them more frequently than other races. ![]() More interestingly, data from Stanford and Yale Universities shows that we are racially prejudiced on online data sites.

Yasmin was judged as black by 40% of respondents, and recieved a 89% swipe rate, whereas Lindsay was judged as black by 97% of people and only received a 43% swipe rate. When we look at the swipe rate of an unquestionably black woman, the swipe rate goes down a lot. She looks mixed race - but wasn't judged as black by most respondents.She also looked rich, had white, straight teeth and clear skin and 'her overarching look is bourgeois'. The most swiped woman was racially ambiguous, which meant no one could apply racial preferences to her.It also proved somewhat that we are racially prejudiced to a point. However, they use the colour of skin to determine class, whether that is conscious or not. People on Tinder, according to this mini-study by Helen Peterson, who has a doctorate in Media Studies, are more classist than racist. Class is also a big deal when we're dating It seems that on the whole, white people do better on Ok Cupid.
