I dont think this relates only to women but men too. There are a few reasons for this.
1) we are becoming less insular, we no longer believe other races to our own to be inferior or barbarians or diseased or whatever one particular culture stereotyped other cultures as.
2) Different is interesting.
3) From a genetic point of view many of us desire the different source of genetic material. For instance myself I am very pale and I notice that over the years I have dated mainly women of darker skin types or races. Could it be that I am more attracted to them? Yes. Could it be that my subconscious understands the problems associated with ligther skin and it wants to make sure my kids dont have the same problem? Also possible.
At the end ofthe day we humans, like all other animals, are simply a means for continuing life, that is the ultimate aim of our biological selves. To procreate with those of other groups means we are introducing different genetic strengths which could give our offspring greater chances of survival.
survival of the fittest applies to us as much as it does any other creature and we are mostly unaware of why we choose mates.

I believe it was bound to happen sooner or later... :-) People are realizing that we're just one race, the "human race". After all, in the spirit world none of us are any different than the other.
However, even though some are marrying outside their own nationalities, there are still many who still prefer someone of their own cultures.
It makes a lot of sense. No one can help who they fall in love with... For some, it's a preference.

I am a white woman who has dated black men. I have also dated a Vietnamese man. I also date white men. My thing is, I do not care what the race is, I care about the person. I look for a nice dressed man who can make me laugh. That is the key to me, a guy who can make me laugh. I can meet someone, not find them that attractive and then they make me laugh....That's all it takes, I like him.

I can answer your question on Asian women. A lot of them are tired of either boring or chauvanistical Asian men judging from how their fathers behaved. That's what most of my Asian girlfriends say anyway. They just don't want that same unhappy cycle to continue. They probably are generalising a whole lot but who can blame them?

I don't think they do, as a general rule.
People have the idea that there is more of it than there used to be, but it's been going on for a long time, and it has a lot more to do with supply and demand than preference.
The vast majority of people still marry within their race.

Wow, the Asian guys have it hard, by that explanation.
I think it's simply easier to act on attraction to interracial relationships now, in earlier eras it was regarded as something taboo, something you just didn't consider or talk about. The attractions have probably always been there, also, external influences may be spurring such decisions, in movies, in music, and else-wise.

ummm I think that's very untrue in a lot of cases...and when it's not it's probably because it's more acceptable than ever to date outside of race...so obviously more people (women) are doing it!! And I like how you say women, but obviously they have got to be dating someone, so males are too

No that is absolutely untrue all women are not like that. I am a black woman mocha latte complexion, and I do believe in the concept of the blacker the berry the sweeter the juice. And I must say that I like my juice to be very sweet.
