In the 1800s, immigration rates among Asian men to the West Coast were much higher than immigration rates among Asian women, as Asian women were not allowed to immigrate to the United States during this time. Many Asian men remained single due in part to a combination of these differential rates of immigration and

antimiscegenation laws criminalizing interracial marriage and sex.

Data from a study of contemporary Internet dating showed that the group of women most likely to engage in an interracial marriage was

heterosexual Asian women.
