Except for Black women in the US. Together with Asian men (especially from India), they have a really, really tough time. There are a number of peer reviewed studies on the matter, it seems to be a stable pattern.

I don't know if OKCupid's old metrics have been peer reviewed but black and Indian men, at least on that platform-at the time of writing-didn't even get a 20% response rate. Literally every other demographic exceeded 20%.

This though isn't as clear cut as it seems. Need to normalize for born in America and just got here a year ago. Rudder doesn't normalize the data.
Have there actually been peer reviewed studies, as the OKcupid blog post isn't even normalized for race.
