Almost always.
Unless they're obese or have a health condition.

Another lovely mixture is Korean/Black:

I'm half Asian and half white. I appreciate the compliment OP. Ignore hyper sensitive PP.

As the mother of a bi-racial child, I agree completely.

OP, you're making a generalization based on someone's race. Even when it's complimentary, it's still not okay. It's like saying, "All Asians are smart in math" or "African Americans are good dancers." No they're not, and it's offensive. Judge folks on the content of their character, not the color of their skin.

This. How can you not see that, OP?

On a similar note, I cringe when my mother talks about how she admires "Educated blacks." OMG.

Why, thank you, OP!

I assume you include eurasian people, arabic-caucasian people, and everything in between? I went to a high-school were the majority had parents from different parts of the world - many were quite striking.

Only in America would complimenting someone on their looks seem the least bit offensive. How sad not be to able to politely appreciate beauty out loud.

NP here.

Why do some consider this line of thinking offensive?

Because it means that the minority race isn't pretty enough until you mix "whiteness" with it.

Not the OP, but I'm mixed (Asian & White), and I think it's true that on the whole, biracial people are very attractive. I don't find this line of thinking to be offensive at all. Of course it's not a perfect theory by any means, but genetic diversity is not a mystery concept. It has a tendency to make healthier and more attractive people.

Rashida Jones from Parks & Rec is my girl crush. Did you know her dad is Quincy Jones?

I agree- but not just half caucasian/half back. Something about a mix of each racial group's prominent features- like caramel colored skin with blue eyes - is really beautiful.

In my opinion, those who are half-black/half-white are some of the most beautiful people on earth.

Their skin is a splendid golden-brown color. Their hair is thick, voluminous, and curly. Their facial features are exotic yet balanced. They are so extraordinary.


Some of them even have green or hazel eyes. And the contrast between the dark skin and light eyes is exquisite.
And they tend to age slower.

Of course, not all B/W biracial people are like this--but most are.
