移民的涌入增加了少数族裔的多样性，并表明他们可能会在美国社会中采取多种融合途径。以往对民族融合的研究往往侧重于泛民族差异，很少有探讨种族或泛民族背景下的民族多样性。使用2000年美国人口普查数据波多黎各，墨西哥，中国和菲律宾裔的个人，我们研究婚姻和同居与白人的差异，与其他少数民族，在一个泛种族群体，并在一个种族群体的出生状态。种族内婚现象很严重，在较小程度上，泛种族内婚现象也很严重。然而，与白人的婚姻或同居仍然是融合的重要途径，但因种族、出生地、抵达年龄和教育程度而存在显著差异。与此同时，在与其他种族或少数民族结婚和同居方面，种族差异很大。我们的分析支持与白人的结合仍然是融合的主要途径，但其他融合途径也成为所有族裔群体的可行选择。
The influx of immigrants has increased diversity among ethnic minorities and indicates that they may take multiple integration paths in American society. Previous research on ethnic integration has often focused on panethnic differences, and few have explored ethnic diversity within a racial or panethnic context. Using 2000 U.S. census data for Puerto Rican–, Mexican-, Chinese-, and Filipino-origin individuals, we examine differences in marriage and cohabitation with whites, with other minorities, within a panethnic group, and within an ethnic group by nativity status. Ethnic endogamy is strong and, to a lesser extent, so is panethnic endogamy. Yet, marital or cohabiting unions with whites remain an important path of integration but differ significantly by ethnicity, nativity, age at arrival, and educational attainment. Meanwhile, ethnic differences in marriage and cohabitation with other racial or ethnic minorities are strong. Our analysis supports that unions with whites remain a major path of integration, but other paths of integration also become viable options for all ethnic groups.
