I can't speak on the stats. But I would suspect if I traveled to Latin America and Asia with a black friend... I'd probably have it easier than him.

That's why when White men whine about not being able to find a woman it makes me wanna bitch slap them. My former boss just got married to a woman he met on one of the Asia sites, I don't remember which one. But she came here on her K1 on about ten days ago and they got married over the weekend.
He's a twice divorced guy with two teenage sons (well one of them is). He's also just about 50 years old, most AW wouldn't touch him unless they had as much baggage as he does.
