A Unlike their Asian counterparts, many African American women are increasingly opting to cohabit with men from other races rather than marry men from their own societies.
B The marriage squeeze among Asian communities is leading to several intermarriages, which has led to disproportionate marriage rates.
C National data from the FBI show disproportionately large numbers of urban black men in their 20s and early 30s are in prison or jail or are victims of homicide.
