[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I mean half Asian babies are realllllly cute.

But it’s a shitty thing to say.  I’m sorry OP.[/quote]

Sorry, but that's not all true. I've seen plenty of plain looking ones. Only the even plainer parents think they are cute. 
I met one with a weak chin in college (his mother had a weak chin). Ick.

"Why are mixed-race people perceived as more attractive?

Abstract. Previous, small scale, studies have suggested that people of mixed race are perceived
as being more attractive than non-mixed-race people. Here, it is suggested that the reason for
this is the genetic process of heterosis or hybrid vigour (ie cross-bred offspring have greater
genetic fitness than pure-bred offspring). A random sample of 1205 black, white, and mixed-race
faces was collected. These faces were then rated for their perceived attractiveness. There was
a small but highly significant effect, with mixed-race faces, on average, being perceived as more
attractive. This result is seen as a perceptual demonstration of heterosis in humans - a biological
process that may have implications far beyond just attractiveness."

This is simply colorism. There are many many lighter skinned people are perceived as more attractive but if they had those same features in a darker tone, would not be perceived as attractive. [/quote]
