These response rates have been demonstrated previously in studies. See: http://qz.com/149342/the-uncomfortable-racial-preferences-revealed-by-online-dating/

Edit: I also recall OKCupid reporting the lowest response rates were for Asian men and Black women. I believe those numbers were corrected for all races responding. Here it is: http://blog.okcupid.com/index.php/your-race-affects-whether-people-write-you-back/

I'm not looking for personal advice here, I am a caucasian male, and the bias in online dating absolutely blows my mind considering the bias against ethnic females is not nearly as extreme.

I'm a black male and I just assumed everyone knew this. I'm not sure how to articulate my thoughts, so I'll provide frank approximations. When a man dates a woman, there is a sort of "conqueror effect". If Tim is dating Amal, most people see Amal as Tim's woman.

Best examples of this is interracial dating and the anger it used to (and ocassional still does) brew. Imagine the 1800s or early 1900s.

White guy w/ black girl

Racists care, but mostly think whites should stick with their own or whatever. White guy probably wouldn't be lynched.

Black guy w/ white girl

Much more anger from racists. "They're taking our women," something like that. This is when you white women making false rape claims and you have black guys getting lynched.

Men are kind of free of the "conqueror" effect. Whatever race they date, they're "conquering". Some guys will have racial preferences, but usually good looks/body precedes race. Guys have this freedom. Women have to face the conqueror effect. Part of attraction is physical (tall, good looking, muscular), behavioral (alpha/beta), and status (what will others think?). Most minorities fall behind in the status part.

It's much easier for white guy in the deep south to bring his moslem wife to his family than it is for a white woman to bring their moslem husband to their family. The same is true of a black man bringing a white girl to his family vs. a black woman bringing a white guy to hers.

Common knowledge among us minority dudes. Under normal circumstances - sitting at home scarfing down triple chocolate gelato and scouring through a 1,000 thirsty dudes on Tinder for instance - women are in their "searching for Prince Charming" mode. The default Prince Charming in our culture is tall, rich, and white. To get the best of the best in our social hierarchy, she'll only respond to both attractive (tall, muscular, handsome) and high status (white, wealthy) or a really particular niche she likes. This is all attractive women of EVERY race- especially Indian/Asian chicks. It's getting so bad that even the 6s are starting to only hold out replies for Channing Tatum.

In person is when you can override this default "only mah perfect Prince" mode by turning her on a.k.a. Game. Do it well enough and all of a sudden she'll have an epiphany that she now likes whatever your type is- of course until the next Alpha comes along with another override.

How to deal with the disadvantage online: We non-white dudes have compensate by showing status/wealth. Dress in a suit while leaning on a Lamborghini, have a sexy girl next to you while in front of the Eiffel Tower, actually be famous, etc.

I wouldn't draw too many conclusion based on this.It could be very be the case that majority of people using those online dating website are white and most people date within their own race for a variety so its nothing surprising.

That aside its not a surprise for white people to be preferred; they are still the majority in the U.S and the image you get bombarded from the media is usually white looking male and people have the image of the successful white male that has been shoved down our throat.

@Aurelius beat me to the link of the research I was thinking of.

Make sure that the ethnic males are not caucasian (no cheating by using a caucasian looking hispanic or east indian male). Use only good looking ethnic males that do not look caucasian.

Oh....

I was just going to talk about an Indian guy I knew back in college who got a lot of attention for his looks but then realized he was more Middle Eastern colored rather than being super dark like a lot of Indians.

All that said though, while a heavily ethnic guy might not do as well as a white guy, I have noticed that some minorities can appeal to this exotic niche and do quite well, just as well as a handsome white male. Examples of this kind of look include a lot of latinos who are tall and good looking, mixed race blacks, and some Indian and Middle Eastern guys.

Whites only. No big surprise here.

Well two things are going on here, one whites are the majority about 70% and most woman want to meet someone similar (nothing wrong with that) second most ladies probably find white guys less rapey or dangerous (right or wrong) nothing to see here.
