Is it better to be mixed race?

[Tarja]

What are everyones' thoughts on the subject in general? The claims that mixed race people have a genetic advantage, are more talented, more beautiful, etc. Is there really a basis for any of these beliefs?

The reason I'm asking is because I just finished watching this British documentary on the subject, Indian geneticist trying to justify her own mixed offspring. The link will probably only work for people in the UK, which is unfortunate. It pissed me off the first time I watched it, and it angers me even more now.

Do you really think you'll see anything else on British television?

Shows like that aren't for information or education; they're for social engineering and encouraging racial and cultural deconstruction, particuarly of the white British majority. They're trying to get people to voluntarily deconstruct our race and like it in the process.

If mixed-race people have a "genetic advantage," then why is their mortality rate 100% when they need a bone marrow transplant? Oh I know why - their bizarre DNA mix makes it IMPOSSIBLE to get one and they die.

Depends on the admixture, but also depends a lot individually. From my own experience, discarding social conditions; it's not any better or worse. That's mostly identity-destroying propaganda.

Frankly, I don't even think the propagandists that made that propaganda "documentary" even believe that mongrels are more attractive. If that were the case, there would be mongrels in fashion magazines and porn movies everywhere, there would be everyone chasing mixed-race people for dates... No, rather in ALL cases, the race in demand is WHITE, WHITE, WHITE.

This is a bunch of garbage. They say that so-and-so is true not because it IS true, but because they want the whites the propaganda is aimed at to believe it.

Mongrels are only attractive in the sense that they look better than the original unmixed non-white race of their parent. However, in comparison to the white parent, they look like a pile of crap. Nobody in their right mind would say Heidi Klum's "children" are prettier than she is. That is just INSANE.

Half-white British, half-Jamaican black "shoe bomber" Richard Reid... Attractive? Not even after a large amount of alcohol!

No, I'm vehemently against miscegenation. I'm not so sure about the 'genetic advantage' claim and beauty is in the eye of the beholder but there are certainly negative psychological effects as biracial children usually encounter identity crisis and they usually face categorization and racism from an early age.

Oh! I did do a search before hand just in case a thread similar to this had been posted, and that didn't come up.

Well, I apologise for the repeat.

This scientist is misleading.

In biology there is the genetic condition of 'inbreeding depression'. This means don't marry your sister or first cousin. Now when you have countries as large as most modern day countries you aren't going to get inbreeding depression unless you actually go looking for it. For a scientist to infer that people of the same race having kids is what causes inbreeding depression is wrong 99.9999999999999999999% of the time.

The Term Hybrid Vigor is when one individual crosses into a vastly different population and the genetic health of the population improves in the long run (If and only if that trait is positively selected for which many positive traits in our society today are not being selected for). This would be a trait such as lactose tolerance in a society that relies strongly upon cow milk. For 99.99999% of couples this is not the case, especially in today's society where we're more accommodating of genetic differences in biological areas (soy milk, water, fruit juice for example).

It isn't pleasant to talk about but trends across the board are heading for less genetic fitness, in all social classes and all races. I'm sorry but you cannot convince me that sending millions of individuals from a country that has an IQ average of 75 into a country that has an IQ average of 100 is going to be beneficial in the long run for the higher ranked country and native people.
