Qian & Lichter Quoted in the Washington Post

Professor Zhenchao Qian and Dan Lichter (former OSU sociology professor, now a faculty at Cornell) were heavily cited in a March 8 Washington Post article by Annie Gowen entitled, “Immigrants' Children Look Closer for Love: More Young Adults Are Seeking Partners of Same Ethnicity.” Qian and Lichter’s work on the declining cultural and economic assimilation among Hispanic and Asian immigrants in terms of marrying partners of other races finds a significant and changing demographic trend. Although interracial marriages have increased overall, the rate of Hispanics and Asians marrying partners from other races has declined in the past two decades.
