There's some thought that it's a little easier for a white guy to marry a non-white woman than for a white woman to marry a non-white guy. The thinking is that since white is the dominant race, and male is the dominant sex, the white guy is expected to be the leader, which is probably typical, even in these enlightened times. But when you have a white woman marrying a non-white guy, you have an uncomfortable mix of the dominant race with the non-dominant sex.
All I can say from my experience is that other than my racist and xenophobic family (who I don't see any more) I have had no problems marrying a Chinese wife. My wife and I are both successfull professionals and no one bats an eye at us, once they realize the six and a half foot white guy is with the 5 foot tall Chinese girl.
If I were a Chinese man and had married an equally educated and professional white woman, I'm not sure things would be as easy for me.
