Let me remind you what I said verbatim:

> The stats back up that people prefer to date within their own race when they can.

That's exactly what your data shows. If you look across all races, there is a clear bias towards people dating their own race. You can find exceptions, but those are within one or two data points, and the trend overall remains true.

> which shows that black women are more likely to reply to men now of her own race (and white men are almost at the top).

By just 2 points. And black men prefer black women. You did find an exception, but keep looking and the trend maintains.

Also, quick reminder that my original post focused on personal choice being important. Nobody suggesting forcing people to date a certain race, just that personal choice might get in the way of the "solution" to the problem the OP suggested (inter-racial marriage).
