Ho messo il link alla pagina wikipedia, che a sua volta contiene le fonti.

Monthly visitors to different Online Dating services globally in February 2016
In the last 15 years, online dating has overtaken previously preferred methods of meeting with potential partners, surpassing both the occupational setting and area of residence as chosen locations. This spike is consistent with an increase in access to the internet in homes across the globe, in addition to the number of dating sites available to individuals differing in age, gender, race, sexual orientation and ethnic background.[20] Along with this, there has been a rise in online sexual racism, whereby partner race is now the most highly selected preference chosen by users when creating their online profiles, displacing both educational and religious characteristics.[21] Research has indicated a progressive acceptance of interracial relationships by white individuals.[22] The majority of white Americans are not against interracial relationships and marriage,[23] however these beliefs are not illustrated in subsequent marital rates between interracial couples, such that no more than 4% of white Americans will wed outside their own race.[24] In fact, less than 46% of white Americans are willing to date an individual of any other race.[25] Overall, African Americans appear to be the most open to interracial relationships,[26] yet are the least preferred partner by other racial groups.[25] However, regardless of stated preferences, racial discrimination still occurs in online dating.[21]
Each group significantly prefers to date intra-racially. White Americans are the least open to interracial dating, and select preferences in the order of Hispanic Americans, Asian Americans and then African American individuals last at 60.5%, 58.5% and 49.4% respectively.[26] African American preferences follow a similar pattern, with the most preferred partner belonging to the Hispanic group (61%), followed by white individuals (59.6%) and then Asian Americans (43.5%). Both Hispanic and Asian Americans prefer to date a white individual (80.3% and 87.3%, respectively), and both are least willing to date African Americans (56.5% and 69.5%).[25] In all significant cases, Hispanic Americans are preferred to Asian Americans, and Asian Americans are significantly preferred over African Americans.[26] Hispanic Americans are less likely to be excluded in online dating partner preferences by whites seeking a partner, as Latinos are often viewed as an ethnic group that is increasingly assimilating more into white American culture.[27]
In addition to general racism in online dating, there is further exclusion differences between certain genders within racial groups, such that women of any race are significantly less likely to date inter-racially than a male of any race.[28] Specifically, Asian men and black men and women face more obstacles to acceptance online.[29] White women are the most likely to only date their own race, with Asian and black men being the most rejected groups by them.[30] The rejection of Asian men is likely due to their amplified effeminate portrayal in the media.[31][32][33] This exclusion remains present even when considering high earning Asian individuals with an advanced educational background.[26][34][35] Increased education does however influence choices in the other direction, such that a higher level of schooling is associated with more optimistic feelings towards interracial relationships.[36] White men are most likely to exclude black women, as opposed to women of another race. High levels of previous exposure to a variety of racial groups creates a more accepting attitude.[37] Sexual racism in online dating, in addition to the outside world, is also influenced by the partner selectors area of residence. Those residing in more Southern regions, particularly in American states, are less likely to have been in an interracial relationship, and are unlikely to inter-racially date in the future.[38] Location is also related to the individuals current and previous religious practices; those who engaged in regular religious customs at age 12 are less likely to inter-racially date. Moreover, those from a Jewish background are significantly more likely to enter an interracial relationship than those from a Protestant background, indicating differences in levels of sexual racism present, which translate into the virtual world of online dating.[38]
A 2015 study of interracial online dating amongst multiple European countries, analyzing the dating preferences of Europeans, Arabs, Africans, Asians and Hispanics, found that in aggregate all races ranked Europeans and their own race as most preferred, followed by Hispanics and Asians as intermediately preferable, with Africans and Arabs the least preferred. Country specific results were more variable, with countries with more non-Europeans showing more openness for Europeans to engage in interracial dating, while those with tensions between racial groups (such as in cases where tensions existed between Europeans and Arabs due to the recent influx of refugees) showed a marked decrease in preference for interracial dating between those two groups. The researchers noted that Arabs tended to have higher same-race preferences in countries with higher Arabic populations, possibly due to stricter religious norms on marriage amongst Muslims. The researchers did note a limitation of the study was selection bias, as the data gathered may have disproportionately drawn from people already inclined to engage in interracial dating.[37]
Currently, there are websites specifically targeted to different demographic preferences, such that singles can sign up online and focus on one particular partner quality, such as race, religious beliefs or ethnicity. In addition to this, there are online dating services that target race-specific partner choices, and a selection of pages dedicated to interracial dating that allow users to select partners based on age, gender and particularly race. Online dating services experience controversy in this context as debate is cast over whether statements such as "no Asians" or "not attracted to Asians" in user profiles are racist or signify individual preferences.[1]
In the online dating world, preferences appear to follow a racial hierarchy.[39] Sharing the basic premise, originating from the 'taboo' nature of interracial relations, individuals of other racial groups are classified as forbidden sexual objects; the result of a racial fetish.
Non-white ethnic minorities who feel they lack dating prospects as a result of their race, sometimes refer to themselves as ethnicels.[40] When preferences within a significant other is strongly judged by racialised aesthetic features which derive from preferences inherited from social feedback such as family, or preconceived perceptions of a particular group, such racial preference is sometimes considered as a subset of lookism.[41]
