Height takes the backseat to race when it comes to White women’s preferences

Excerpt: “Height also takes the backseat to race when it comes to White women’s preferences. Recall that, in chapter 3, many women were insistent that they heavily preferred men taller than themselves. Yet figure 4.11 shows that White women are more willing to date shorter White men than taller minority men.” Curington, Celeste & Lundquist, Jennifer & Lin, Ken-Hou. (2021).
