[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP here, and non-white mom to both mixed and full-race children.

I didn't interpret the distasteful comment as someone saying she thought mixed-race kids were ugly or less-than.  What I've heard from a lot of people is that saying mixed children are the most beautiful is offensive because it implies that full-race children (whether white, black, Asian, etc) aren't as cute.  I can understand that view.  It can be interpreted that someone might think my mixed child is more attractive than my full child just because she/he is mixed.  It's not interpreted as offensive to the mixed children, but rather to the full-race children.

At least that's what I think that poster was trying to say.[/quote]

So everything always has to be fair and square?  We have to pretend everyone is equal in the looks department?  Every soccer team no matter the record should earn a trophy?  Sorry, it's insincere to not separate out.  Not everyone is the same.  And yes, mixed race kids tend to be some of the most attractive and interesting to look at.  Thems the facts. [b]I'm sure there have been studies done, just like there are stuidies that people with evenly balanced features are perceived as more attractive.[/b] [/quote]

I don't think there have been studies done on this.  I have personally met mixed race people whom I did not find attractive at all.  If facial beauty is based on symmetry more than anything, it really doesn't matter what race or mix of races you are.[/quote]
