The uncomfortable racial preferences revealed by online dating

I'm happily married and never used online dating, so can only guess at the various factors skewing this data.

- Given that this is a simple yes/no question (would you respond vs not), its not clear whether this preference is for casual flings or long term relationships (there have been studies that show women prefer hot men for flings and bores for family/stability) OTOH, I don't know if that study was really valid

- I imagine I would use an online dating site if my local network doesn't have any leads for me. If my local network is racially homogenous (possibly true for larger america vs metros), I would look for other races to experiment/or meet different people

There have been similar results posted by okcupid[1], so there definitely seems to be some truth to what these guys are reporting.
