If you think biracial people are incredibly beautiful, you need a bigger sample. I grew up among a variety of biracial people, and know hundreds now, and it's all about how good looking the parents are and who the kids take after. Just like "same-race" people.

Do you like staring into our eyes, OP?

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.

Or that the majority race isn't pretty enough unless you mix "blackness" with it.

Well that's actually a true statement

Uh... Which minority? Is there one?
I don't know one African American who is pure African. I'm at 51%.

Because we'd rather people think we are ugly?

I think those people saying the OP's line of thinking is "racist" or "offensive" isn't really up on their history. Most times, mixed people were thought of as contaminated, ugly, "half-breed," and as a general negative thing.

I'm mixed, and looks aside, I feel very fortunate to be mixed. I'm very content, not confused

But compared to other politicians he's....

Not my cup of tea.

You know this, right?

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

Ummm, no.

My biracial son is strikingly beautiful. His facial features are very symmetric, which I think is why he is so beautiful. My daughter is younger, and while I of course find her beautiful, too, it's hard to tell whether she will turn into a goofy looking woman or a beautiful woman. My third child has similar features to my son, but her most striking feature is her very blue eyes.

So I don't think that biracial people are automatically beautiful... but a lot of them are.

Obama isn't bad, but I wouldn't call him striking.

Nice body but I don't see how his face is any better than a full black or Asian man.

None of the people in the pictures have flat or big noses. Interesting what these pps think are "beautiful".

I agree OP. But not just black and white. My son is white and Hispanic (not a race I understand). He has always gotten a lot of attention esp when he was a baby with darkish olive skin, jet black hair and blue eyes. His eyes turned to light brown by his 1st bday. I love looking at biracial kids. We are not from the DC area but whenever we visit friends, I love the diversity there. Much more interesting than our mostly white, blue eyed suburb.
