I am a young single 25 year old black guy and I hang with alot of people from all races. But I noticed alot of my white friends in their early and mid 20's are getting married way sooner than my black, hispanic, asian friends who been dating for a while. Its like my white friends hit their 20's and if they been dating for a year or two just pop the question out of no where.  Personally, 8 of my friends who are white have gotten married or are getting married this year really close together, while my other friends are taking it slow. I just find it weird? Not to be offensive or racist but is it because white people age faster than minorites and their looks start to fade after their 20's, so its kinda like a rush to get married while you still have your looks? I personally haven't seen to many black, hispanic, or asian couples in their 20's rushing to get married so soon. Maybe its just me, but have any of you noticed this or have any opinons on it?

I don't think you can generalize an entire group based on your own observations alone. Your white friends don't represent the couple hundred million whites in the US, so you might want to do some research if you're really interested in this alleged trend you're noticing. I'm a 20 year old white guy and I don't feel like I want to get married. I've never even had a girlfriend, so maybe it's a fear of commitment or something. Maybe I'll "grow out of it".

I am not just trying generalize an entire group but I noticed this trend not only among my friends but co workers, and friends of friends, and random people on the street etc. Maybe its just the area I live in I don't know.

Probably due to so many growing up in broken homes and other cultural issues.

most minorities grew up in a single parent home.
