  • To some this up for people not wanting to look through tables: in basically every metric you could possibly imagine, mix-raced children are worse off. They have (as compared to their constituent races):
    Substantially lower GPA's and IQ's
    Worse general health
    Substance abuse issues are often doubled or tripled in race-mixed children
    Increased suicidal thoughts and tendencies
    Repeating school grades
    Much higher risk of migraines or perpetual headaches
    And to top it off they do not look like their parents.

    All of that is from just that one study. I remember multiple studies that describe the many skin issues that race-mixed children are much more prone to including eczema and cystic acne. I believe, again, from what I remember, that a good MAJORITY of mixed-race children will either experience eczema or cystic acne at some point in their lives.
    The incidence of skin disorders is interesting.  My guess is that different races have different skin textures (not just colors) and different patterns of oil and sweat on various parts of the body, and when the genes are mixed, for lack of a better way to put it, the genes get "confused" and don't know what to do with traits that are neither fully one or the other. 

    Some instances of mixed race turn out very aesthetically pleasing --- there is a young lady at one of our favorite fast-food places, looks about 1/3 white, 1/3 black, and 1/3 Asian, and she is one of the most stunningly gorgeous women I've ever seen, very delicate features, button nose and a "cinnamony" complexion --- but some are not. 

    To be fair, though, much the same could be said of two people of the same race who differ significantly in physical appearance.  Case in point, the daughters of Bruce Willis and Demi Moore.  Both of them are very attractive people, but the daughters, sadly, are nowhere near as attractive as either of their parents.

  • Excellent argument for imbreeding! If you get your hypothetical children to marry their 1st cousins, you will have reduced their offspring's great-grandparents by a satistically significant 25%--from 8 to just 6. Much higher chance they're gonna look like you!! :cowboy:

    (No guarantees on the acne situation, though :laugh2:)

    Also, Our Queen appeared to St. Juan Diego and remains on his Tilma as a mestizo.

    And if you think Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich's private revelations are worthy of consideration, you probably already know that according to her, the stunningly beautiful St. Mary Magdalene, St. Lazarus and St. Martha were of mixed "race" -- with a dark-skinned Egyptian convert father. Of course, the Blessed Nun doesn't use the terms "race" nor "mixed-race" because those are divide-and-conquer newspeak terms made up by the you-know-whos.

    Race is a Jєω thing.

    They're obsessed with it and they try oh-so-hard to trick us into going along with them on their nonsense so that we gentiles--especially we Catholics--will turn on each other.

    Remind me again what the Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich said about blacks? But of course, us Europeans should be race mixing with them, because, of course, if we have children with someone who looks anything remotely like us, we are all going to magically sprout Habsburg jaws!

  • Color of skin means nothing. We're all the children of God. If we're talking about religious cultures, that's a different story.

  • Is there a troll in our midst?  If so, he’s of “mixed race” and confused.  Among Catholics, one’s faith is the distinction, not race.  While it’s true that most people prefer someone of the same race and culture for a marriage partner, there are always exceptions.  I’m acquainted with several fine Catholic families whose parents are different races.  In one case, a Filipino man married to a Caucasian American woman.  They have 15 children.  Another is a mixed race, Black/White woman married to a very dark gentleman from the Caribbean.  They have 11 natural children and one adopted child who is Cambodian.  There are no children with genetic defects from the parents.  The Cambodian child has rare genetic mental and intellectual challenges, as a result of her birth parents’ exposure to napalm during the Vietnam War.  The parents gave her up to the care of an orphanage because of their poverty and lack of education.  
    The Church has no policy on race mixing except that its prohibition is morally wrong.
    Depending upon the prevalent culture where a Catholic couple of mixed race live, the only concern has more to do with sociology and prudence than religion. In some places, mixed rave couples are seen as acceptable.  No big issue exists.  In other places, being of mixed race can create social issues which the couple and their children have to deal with.  If they’re okay with this, there’s no genetic barrier.

    Tom Brady and Gisele's children are very unattractive.  

    But beauty standards vary according to culture and time period.  In the Regency era, women with "Grecian" features (long face, small eyes, long nose and neck, large straight mouth) were considered more beautiful than those with Celtic features (round face, large eyes, small nose, rosebud mouth).  That totally flipped by the Victorian age.

    I understand it's a personal preference. But what about mixing between vaxxed and unvaxxed people? Obviously the Church won't forbid it but there is a risk of next generation/s sterility.
