You're comparing apples to oranges with that analogy. Obviously, Black America in the 1950's cannot be compared to someone of Asian descent today and their experience. But when asking why people get married, the ones who didn't still have an impact. If you had 100 couples planning marriage and only 75 of them got married and you asked why they did without taking into consideration why the other 25 didn't, then your poll isn't seeing the whole picture. What if out of those 25, some said "because he didn't have enough money" or "I'm Jewish and she's not"? That doesn't change the picture of "marriage" and why people do it? If you can't see that, then I can't debate the issue with you...
