What is your opinion on Mixed-Raced offspring? Options

[Jinata]

Are you disgusted by the idea? - I woke up at 4AM in the morning, and I found myself to be pretty bored; so I had a rummage through the stormfront.org forum that Cloudyski mentioned somewhere on the forum. Being mixed myself (Half White.. English, not American, and Half Filipino.. Pangasinan Area), I was curious to know what these people think of someone such as myself.

Clearly they don't like the idea of racial inter-breeding, and that I'm the product of those who are committing racial genocide.. Heh. Making claims that white are a pure race (Which makes me wonder) and that white women are the most attractive kind "by miles". I'm not sure whether to try to understand these people or just put it down to plain ignorance. I'm not very knowledgeable when it comes to topics such as these, so I'm just curious to know what you think of this kind of thing.

Discuss.

nobody really cares

I think mixed race people are the most beautiful in the world and have the best selection of genes. (I am 100% Han Chinese.) If I were in charge, everyone would mix together and strengthen the human race as a whole.

"Racial purity" is a tool, imposed by the most worthless of the dominant group because otherwise they would find themselves mateless. It is the domain of the weak.

considering I'm 1/2 Japanese.....I'd say I'm a big fan of it.

wrong, knowledge fail

nobody really cares.

and mixed people are not better than average looking. rofl. what an insane inferiority complex.
they are generally below average because usually both of the parents are below average. generally people stay within the realm of familiarity, and those that venture out of it usually do so out of desperation. of course not all the time but in this day and age, more often than not. maybe not in 50 years.

mixed people usually get the best of both races.....
not always, but most of the time they do.

Another assumption fail.

What you mean is you don't care.

[mndeg]

no, I understand people and am MUCH MUCH smarter than you.

nobody gives a $hit. they have other things to worry about.

Whether your claim is true or false, all I can say is that isn't the case with my parents.

Your 3rd assumption fail.

I'm not holding a gun to no one's heading forcing them to direct all their attention to this thread. You visit this through will, if you have other things to worry about, go ahead and do them, I'm not forcing you to reply?

Mixed Race, Pretty Face?

Actor Keanu Reeves and supermodel Devon Aoki have more in common than fame, fortune and good looks—both are also part Asian. Known in popular culture by the Hawaiian term hapa (meaning "half"), people with mixed Asian and European origins have become synonymous with exotic glamour. In Hong Kong and Singapore, half-Asian models now crowd runways once dominated by leggy blondes. In the elite world of Asian fashion, half-Asian is the new white.

The trend may seem little more than an effect of 21st century globalization. As more individuals of mixed descent achieve fame (think Norah Jones and Tiger Woods), it seems natural that society would embrace the mixed look. Media exposure, however, doesn't fully explain the perception of hapa beauty.

Eurasians may possess genetic advantages that lead to greater health and, as a result, enhanced attractiveness. That's according to a study, the first to find that hapa faces are rated as more beautiful than European or Japanese faces. Researchers say the finding may extend to other racial mixes as well.

The experiment by Gillian Rhodes, a psychologist at the University of Western Australia, found that when Caucasian and Japanese volunteers looked at photos of Caucasian, Japanese and Eurasian faces, both groups rated the Eurasian faces as most attractive. These visages were created by first digitally blending a series of faces from each race into "composites" to create average, middle-of-the-road features typical of each race. Past studies show that "average" features are consistently rated as more attractive than exaggerated features—such as an unusually wide forehead or a small chin.

The finding that Japanese and white subjects preferred mixed-race faces was surprising because, earlier in the same study, most volunteers rated their own race as more beautiful than others. That is, white people typically prefer whites when choosing an ideal image of beauty; blacks prefer blacks; etc.

So why might hapas be considered particularly beautiful? Evolutionary psychologists say it's because Eurasians and other mixed race individuals appear healthier. Humans, like other animals, look for markers of good genetic health in their quest for a reproductive partner. Take facial symmetry, for example: Studies show that, whether they know it or not, people prefer individuals with evenly spaced eyes and other signs of congruence. In evolutionary terms, these markers are associated with healthy conditions in the womb. Infants exposed prenatally to toxins or pathogens may develop facial irregularities and asymmetry. The human brain may be wired to avoid these overt cues of lackluster health, says R. Elisabeth Cornwell, a psychologist at the University of Colorado. "The signs of beauty are the signs of health," she says. Rhodes' findings seem to fit this paradigm: Participants in her study said the Eurasian faces appeared healthier, too.

Similarly, evidence suggests that half-Asians' diverse genetic ancestry would enhance health. According to evolutionary psychologist Randy Thornhill, at the University of New Mexico, "If you hybridize two genetically diverse populations—another way of saying you cross races—then you create more genetic diversity in the offspring."

Genetic diversity, or heterozygosity, is associated with a lower incidence of some diseases. Genetic diseases, such as hemophilia and Tay-Sachs, occur when a person inherits two copies of a defective gene. This is more likely to happen in isolated populations with little genetic diversity.

In 2004, Craig Roberts, professor of biology at the University of Newcastle in the U.K., found the first direct link between diverse genes and facial attractiveness. He examined genes of the major histocompatability complex (MHC)—a set of genes crucial to a well-functioning immune system. Photos of people with the greatest MHC diversity were rated more attractive than individuals with less MHC diversity. Here, actual health—the ability to resist infection—was linked to perceptions of attractiveness. Roberts believes this preference helps humans pick healthy mates.

Which features radiate both health and beauty? One may be the appearance of the skin. In a second experiment, Roberts found that women rated close-up photos of heterozygous males' skin as healthier than close-ups of homozygous males' skin, and these judgments correlated with ratings of overall attractiveness.

Ostensibly, evidence that Caucasians and Asians prefer mixed race faces counters a major tenet of mating theory: that we are drawn to partners who resemble ourselves, such as those with similar hair and eye color.

So does this new research explain the popularity of Brazilians, who frequently have blended racial heritage, as fashion models? That remains to be seen. Says Rhodes: "If a preference for mixed-race faces occurs for many different mixes, we could be more confident that it is tapping into something fundamental about human perceptions of attractiveness."

I care. Jinata cares. HapaGirl (presumably) cares. Proof by contradiction.

[Federico]

You should be proud to be a part of two great cultures.

[HapaGirl]

yes i do care!!!

[Aryan]

Im mixed myself, mixed race is fine with me

[Jinata]

I just care for the opinions of others, it's interesting.

[mndeg]

I care. Jinata cares. HapaGirl (presumably) cares. Proof by contradiction.

care about mixed race offspring?

ROFL

parenting. gotta love it.

[Jinata]

^ What is your objection to this thread? - I don't understand your mentality; you don't care and assume no one cares about this topic but yet I still find you posting or having an opinion on the subject.

How many fails do I need to give you?

[Spasiangirl]

I was curious to know what these people think of someone such as myself.

in Stormfront, a half White would not be recognized as a ''White''
and if you are a registered half White member, you are limited to the guest section only. Only those of a pure ''White'' background have the access to other sections of the forum. Everything else is limited, whether you are a half or quarter White or a non-White, they do not recognize the difference. They do not acknowledge the difference, and oppose multi-culturalism. Many of these members in Stormfront look at Mix racing or a mixed person(especially if it involves the white race) with disgust, and refer to them as ''Mongrels'' or a ''Hybrid'' and other offending terms that can describe a Mixed person. I say ignore their opinions, and their thoughts on interracial marriages, since they are ignorant themselves coming from an ignorant perspective. But if you were to ask them this question, ''would you mind if a non-White were to breed with a non-White, how would you feel?''

many will answer, ''I wouldn't mind it, personally. Since the other does not involve a White person anyway.''

After all, they're trying to preserve the White race, aren't they? how ignorant.

I am also a mixed person, and I support it.
