  • Why Mixed Babies Rock!

    (I am using this title without prior licensing from mixedbabiesrock)

    I've long been of the opinion that interracial dating is a wonderful thing. Unlike some of my xenophobic fellow Asians, I think it's a wonderful thing to join two people and create further diversity and variety in the world. Uniting people from different backgrounds who then have the opportunity to learn and enjoy the intricacies of other cultures is a wonderful blessing.

    Besides, mixes are really hot.

    I may be a little biased being sort of mixed myself, but let the evidence speak for itself:


    Dutch and Chinese


    Filipino, Black, Indian, and Latina


    And of course this girl: Danish, French-Canadian, and Latina


    Korean and White


    Japanese and White.

    There's also Maggie Q, Kelly Hu, and countless others.

    It's hit or miss though, sometimes things go horribly awry:


    or




    *shudder*

    Anyway. I've dated women of varied races, but I always find myself gravitating back towards mixes. I wonder why this is? Is it because I find commonality with them because we both share a certain dichotomy to our personal identities? Or is it just shallowness manifesting itself? I've dated Russian/Korean, Indian/Viet, Japanese/White, Chinese/White... I think it's an addiction.

    There is scientific evidence that racial mixing may be beneficial to the evolution of the human race. Studies have shown that in controlled environment where subjects are shown photographs of different members of the opposite sex, generally the ones who are ethnically ambiguous are rated the most attractive. Research has also shown that we are attracted to mates that emit pheromones that indicate an immune system that is dissimilar to our own. This instinct may be indicative of a natural guard against inbreeding and a preference for propagating genetic diversity.

    Individuals with genetically diverse backgrounds tend to exhibit stronger immune systems, fewer congenital disorders, and fewer genetic defects. This is apparent amongst dogs, as purebreds are often fraught with health problems while mutts are often more robust. There is a phenomenon called heterosis or hybrid vigor, where the offspring of two genetically different individuals exhibit superior traits to either of its parents, whether in size, robustness, or intelligence. Realistically, the genetic difference between ethnicities amongst humans is too minor for this to occur, but it's an interesting thing to consider.

    Don't feel bad however, if you are of unmixed descent. There are plenty of very very attractive people of unmixed heritage. But I DO feel like it is the personal duty of each and every one of us to ensure the future strength of the human gene pool. Let each one of us, whether we be White, Black, Brown, Yellow, Japorean, Blackapino, or Italexican do our part in making the next generation of humans better looking. Given a few generations of this, there will no longer be color lines, division, or racism. There will no longer be black or white, brown or yellow; we will all simply be Beige.
