I wonder...

Do Tiger parents divorce? Are Tiger moms unwed moms?

I don't even know where to begin with this one.

I'm a minority, have never gotten government benefits as a single mom, and haven't married the live-in boyfriend even though we've lived together for over 20 years.

Some people aren't balanced. It's great that you are able to see yourself in other people who can't strike a healthy balance. You are saving yourself a lot of misery. However, there are also many married parents who can both raise children and still maintain intimacy.

Yes and white people have an unemployment rate of 7% and make up 40% of overall welfare recipients (Mostly all single white uneducated mothers).

More white women are on government assistance than any other race in America.

If youre dating someone who won't have sex, and you marry them just because you want to have sex, then you are a dumbass who makes bad life choices.

Since about 2 in 5 births are to unmarried women, and millennials aren't getting married at the same rate as previous generations, I'd say that if something's killing American marriage, it's people deciding, for whatever reason, not to get married.
