Some new intermarriage stats from Pew. 39% outmarriage rate for U.S.-born Hispanics in 2019.
Intermarriage is happening a lot faster for Hispanics than it did for Italians and Jews at a comparable point in time after their big immigration wave. pic.twitter.com/HD4JKfM8mW
Jews now have something like a 70% outmarriage rate, but it was very low back in the 1940s. Italians outmarried a bit faster, but similar story there. Hispanics and Asians are outmarrying at ~40% rates in the 2nd generation, which is about a generation faster than earlier groups.
A cynical mind might theorize that all this emphasis on ‘LatinX’ and fabricated race essentialism around Hispanics is a desperate reaction to their lightning-fast assimilation to the US mainstream, and thus not another minority bloc to add to the going coalition. https://t.co/cfVkbQaP9p
