It also states "Since just 1980, the share of marriages between spouses of different races has almost quadrupled, up to 6%, a new Pew Research study on multiracial Americans has found. At the same time, though, a large share of mixed-race babies (43%) are not living with a married parent, suggesting that it’s probably not just interracial marriage, but interracial dating in general that is driving the demographic change."
This is roughly 15% higher than the overall % of babies born to white mothers out of wedlock. The math isn't really that complicated.
35% of all white moms were single in 2014

We get it - you think black fathers are largely to blame for the increase in unwed pregnancy rates among white mothers, despite mixed-race children accounting for less than 6% of all babies being born in 2015.

Just because the others have decreased (if true) does not mean the rates for those races aren't still higher than whites (which they are).
The decrease among the races I mentioned is true, and it is also true they're still higher than whites.

BTW, if you're going to quote a stat please link it, even if irrelevant such as this one.
You can find search Census.gov using their Fact Finder, as well as the CDC Vital Statistics logs just like I did. There is no link to a table that has it all nice and pretty for us.

You're willfully omitting the overall rates. Why?
I'm not omitting the rates for any purpose, but I think the downward trend is something to appreciate and study further. If you read the first few pages of the thread, you'll see that we discussed the rates for whites are really just a product of the head start minorities had. These numbers continue to get worse across time, but recently they've improved in a few minorities, and hopefully that trend continues.
If you'd like the birth rates from 2015:
40.4 for whites
31.6 for non-Hispanic whites
59.6 for blacks (Hispanics included)
67.4 for Hispanics
20.4 for Asian or Pacific Islanders
