[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What does any of this have to do with Cheerios???[/quote]

Unfortunately, there are some people who think that keeping a low gene pool is productive for the human species. Yeah-I don't get the appeal of cousins, either. [/quote]

What is with you and the obsession with incest? [/quote]

Not me, but there are some people who don't understand that genetic diversity is actually an incredibly important thing. [/quote]

Being mixed race does not automatically mean that you are "genetically diverse."  Even being "genetically diverse" does not mean you are automatically more healthy or more attractive, which is what you have been claiming.  You have been weirdly insistent that being mixed race is superior, which is just sort of weird.  You are out of your depth here.[/quote]

I've never argued that "mixed race" is superior, but that genetic diversity absolutely does trend towards making healthier humans - and with that, better looking humans - better "fitness" (evolutionary speaking). Please explain to me how a small genetic pool is somehow beneficial for the human species. [/quote]

You seem super confused.  It's not marrying your cousin vs. marrying a person of a different race.  You could marry someone of your own race and have more "diverse" or "healthy" genes than if you had married someone from a different race or country.  In the grand scheme it doesn't really matter very much.  You've over-simplified things to a ridiculous degree.[/quote]

Um, yes, of course. Can you point me to where I've stated to the contrary? But overall the trend of procreating someone from say, a different continent, is the best way to obtain greater genetic diversity. That isn't to say that should be your ultimate goal - there are many, many more important reasons in finding a partner/spouse/mate/etc. But it's really incredibly naive to say that people who are mixed aren't any better looking than those who aren't. On the whole, mixed people = genetic diversity. Genetic diversity = healthier people, with better "fitness" (ie, more attractive). There are always exceptions to the rule, but again, overall, science knows best.
