Interesting. I went to see if there was any validity in his claims and there is.

Interracial marriage in the United States - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I downloaded the study that they cited in the Wiki (I have access to almost every journal and study). Here is an excerpt from the conclusion.

Quote:
The current study examined the likelihood of
divorce among interracial couples compared to
same-race couples. We find that although interracial
marriages overall are more vulnerable to divorce, this
reflects the experience of some but not all couples.
According to the adjusted models predicting divorce
as of their 10th year of marriage, interracial marriages
that are most vulnerable involve White
females and non-White males (with the exception
of White females/Hispanic White males) relative
to White/White couples. Conversely, White men/
non-White women couples show either very little or
no differences in divorce rates; or, as in the case of
White men and Black women, are substantially less
likely than White/White couples to divorce by their
10th year.
Either way, his job is not to advise or decide for anyone.
