My comment:
(a) The NYT report is based on

Marriage and Cohabitation in the United States: A Statistical Portrait Based
on Cycle 6 (2002) of the National Survey of Family Growth.
Vital and Health Statistics Series Report, Series (Sr.) 23, No. 28 (
published by National Center for Health Statistics, Center for Disease
Control and Prevention), Mar. 2, 2010.

(b) The NYT report says, "'Cohabitation is increasingly becoming the first
co-residential union formed among young adults, the study said." Instead of
marriage (as the first co-residential union), that is.

Quote:

"mixed-race marriages have jumped 20% since 2000 to 4.5 million, or 8% of
the total

"About three of 10 marriages involving Hispanics or Asians are now mixed-
race, and almost one of six involving blacks are mixed race
