Eurogamy among Asian-Americans: A note on Western assimilation

Abstract

Quality of life in the United States is contingent upon assimilation into the mainstream of American society. Domination is the preferred model. Asians stigmatized by their dark skin are prohibited from immediate membership. Their strategy is Eurogamy: a form of exogamy in which Asian-Americans select Euro- American spouses as a method of sharing in the Euro gene pool. In this way they alter the stigma of dark skin. Via offspring they expect full assimilation into the mainstream and its commensurate quality of life.
