The data behind a distinct form of racism in online dating The Dating Divide is the first comprehensive look at "digital-sexual racism," a distinct form of racism that is mediated and amplified through the impersonal and anonymous context of online dating. Drawing on large-scale behavioral data from a mainstream dating website, extensive archival research, and more than seventy-five in-depth interviews with daters of diverse racial backgrounds and sexual identities, Curington, Lundquist, and Lin illustrate how the seemingly open space of the internet interacts with the loss of social inhibition in cyberspace contexts, fostering openly expressed forms of sexual racism that are rarely exposed in face-to-face encounters. The Dating Divide is a fascinating look at how a contemporary conflux of individualization, consumerism, and the proliferation of digital technologies has given rise to a unique form of gendered racism in the era of swiping right--or left. The internet is often heralded as an equalizer, a seemingly level playing field, but the digital world also acts as an extension of and platform for the insidious prejudices and divisive impulses that affect social politics in the "real" world. Shedding light on how every click, swipe, or message can be linked to the history of racism and courtship in the United States, this compelling study uses data to show the racial biases at play in digital dating spaces.

This book, which analyzes data from a popular online dating company (which the researchers are not allowed to name but is pretty obviously OK Cupid), shows that for an urban United States population, intimate racial "preferences" mirror real-world White supremacy. White daters receive the most attention in online dating, while Black daters are contacted the least; these trends apply across almost all racial groups.
The authors present their findings by race of the daters they studied. Each section begins with a well researched (and disturbing) history of U.S. anti miscegenation laws against Black, Asian, Latinx, and Native American people. It is fascinating to consider the current study data within the context of "analog" dating and see how digital-sexual racism affirms historical mating behaviors.
There are extensive tables and graphs in this book, but unfortunately my electronic advance reading copy was unable to display them. Visual representations of the data would be very helpful.
Recommended for all libraries. ( )
