Asian Americans

While I was reading the Asian Americans chapter in the textbook I found many of the facts in the Prejudice and Discrimination chapter interesting. In the section they talked about a study they did on Americans' attitudes on Asian Americans. In the text they reveal that in the survey about 25% of Americans would not feel comfortable with an Asian American president and only 15% would feel uncomfortable with an African American president. However, when it came to a family member marrying someone from another race 25% of Americans would to some degree disapprove of a family member marrying an Asian American and 34% would disapprove their family member marrying an African American. I found this very strange. I wonder the reasoning as to why more Americans would feel comfortable with an African American president but an Asian American in law.
