Is it better to be mixed race?

[research_centre]

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.

Thank you. You just beat me to it this was the last post when I came on to type essentially the same. Those type of programmes and related statistics warp the facts (and in some cases bring in speculation) just to fit their agenda but truth is always the winner in the end.

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.

They have trouble with certain transplants due to genetic mismatch, and they are also known to have higher rates of substance abuse and alcoholism due to identity problems, not feeling like they fit in anywhere.

Since the political and cultural elites want to deconstruct races - specifically whites - such backfires are totally ignored.

Add to the genetic mismatch that there is a higer rate of c-sections when Oriental women are impregnated by white men. The larger European-sized fetus is too large to come out on its own and has to be cut out of her. Without surgical intervention, the mother would die with the rotting fetus inside her.

Celebrate diversity!

between europid races good
europid race + other= terrible as any two different race mix

FACTS. The parts they leave out of such programmes and studies. The cold hard FACTS.

It is quite easy to answer, if human populations or races mix, the result, like in all individual cases inside of a group too, will largely depend on the parents in question plus a factor of chance.

As a rule, minor hybrid vigour can pop up in humans, but its effect is far below any level of assymetrical losses, if one parental individual has a higher general standard, than the other. Also, its being largely lost in the following generations, while the disharmonies and negative results remain, as will all the other problems related to mixture, even beyond biological outcomes in the narrower sense, like socio-cultural, identity and community "issues".

Every mixture can be just favourable, if the genflow brings favourable traits in detail and the result will be selected, if not, a population will become more disharmonious and show quite often negative recombinations, even more so if the mixture was assymetrical like explained.

Additionally, the own kin will be replaced by foreign genetic variants, the own children will share less genetic similarity with you, your relatives and group, being more foreign from you, than if you pick a closely related partner.

So, what they say is crap, a standing racial group and population doesn't have to mix to improve itself, even on the contrary, even less so in the own home areas, for which this high level racial elements being best adapted of all of mankind, like Europeans for their home countries.

For the rest, compare with this thread, especially my comments on the last pages:

Or like this:



As I said, it depends a lot on the races being mixed and more importantly in the features of the 2 persons mixing.

Yes, that is what is meant gold_fenix they don't mean Europeans to Europeans.

Why would a European think that their offspring would be healthier by having children with a non-white person when studies prove that non-whites are at higher risk of diabetes, cancer, HIV, STDs and other diseases?

Aarati Prasad...geneticist

A White English guy got not only an Indian chick, but a geneticist!? Quite a feat, considering how endogamous Indians are.

More facts they always fail to mention.
