Hmm...multi-racial=more attractive?

I read in a psychology magazine that people who are multi-racial (not meaning Irish and French, but more of white and black, Asian and Hispanic, etc.) have a tendency to be more attractive than people with parents of the same race.

This is because they get the dominant, healthy genes from both races...sort of like beating 3000 years of distant-inbreeding. While in single-race people, there's a greater chance that they got the recessive not-so-healthy genes. Because they have a healthier makeup, they're therefore more attractive because people are generally more attracted to healthy people. Of course it's not always true, but you have a better chance of having attractive children if your partner is of a different race than you.

Good news for me I guess. I'm half white and half Asian.

Discuss!

Yes, I think they often are. I had never really considered why that could be, but oten multi-racial people just look more exotic.

That is true that they get the good genes from both races, and sometimes are extremely attractive.
I have a friend who is also half white and half asian and she's really pretty.

Um, I think it depends on the person. You can't say everyone from a mixed race is prettier than everyone who has same-race parents. My parents are from different races, but physically I look more like my dad, who's white.

God this thread is the most pretentious load of self-admiration I have ever seen.

What are they?

My mum is Spanish/Seychellois, so African/Hispanic, and my dad is white. He's from Australia.

I'm not. The Seychelles was never inhabited by blacks.

You aint mixed race, just mixed ethnicity. There are actually only three races among humans.

The people on the Seychelles are actually Hispanic, most of them came from Spain I do believe. I do realise Hispanics are technically white, but I wasn't being technical.
