Thread: Are multiracials the "Master Race"?

Are Calblinasians genetically superior?

The opposite of Tiger's famously outbred family tree are the inbred genealogies found notoriously often among hillbillies and aristocrats. Psychometrician Arthur Jensen, the leading researcher on intelligence, reports that inbreeding reduces "birth weight, height, head circumference, chest girth, and resistance to infectious diseases," because the inbred are more likely to inherit two copies of deleterious recessive genes. Incest is so genetically disastrous that humans have evolved a defense against it: children brought-up together before the age of six almost never grow up to be sexually attracted to each other. For example, many an Israeli kibbutz tried raising toddlers in mixed-sex dormitories, only to find later that none of its young people wanted to marry each other.

On the other hand, while inbreeding depression clearly hurts, the evidence for "hybrid vigor" among multiracial individuals is less clear, since the returns from outbreeding diminish fairly rapidly the farther out you marry from your own nuclear family. Still, a careful study of biracial white-Japanese children in Hawaii did find that their IQ's were two points higher than those of their monoracial peers of the same socio-economic status.

It's also possible that multiracial individuals are more likely to inherit unusual combinations of traits. For example, Tiger Woods seems to combine the muscularity and masculine charisma of an African-American superstar with the self-discipline and focus of the finest Asian-American athlete.

In summary, inter-racial marriage, long the object of fear and loathing, may turn out to be one route to enriching the human race.

Mixed Race= Pretty Face?

http://www.psychologytoday.com/artic...ce-pretty-face

Actor Keanu Reeves and supermodel Devon Aoki have more in common than fame, fortune and good looks—both are also part Asian. Known in popular culture by the Hawaiian term hapa (meaning "half"), people with mixed Asian and European origins have become synonymous with exotic glamour. In Hong Kong and Singapore, half-Asian models now crowd runways once dominated by leggy blondes. In the elite world of Asian fashion, half-Asian is the new white.

Eurasians may possess genetic advantages that lead to greater health and, as a result, enhanced attractiveness. That's according to a study, the first to find that hapa faces are rated as more beautiful than European or Japanese faces. Researchers say the finding may extend to other racial mixes as well.

I'm curious what the board's thoughts are on this. There is definitely a scientific basis for this belief, and people of mixed heritage tend to be very beautiful people, and are slowly dominating the world of fashion and beauty.

I think it might depend on the type of mix we are talking about. As we have seen in breeding horses and dogs and other animals. There are muts and then there are show specimen animals.

I think that custom genetic engineering is a better solution to any sort of "master race" because really none of the races we have available are any thing worthy to brag about

Look up "Hasty Generalization".

Reminds me of a joke:

Isadora Duncan wrote to George Bernard Shaw: "Will you be the father of my next child? A combination of my beauty and your brains would startle the world," but he replied: "I must decline your offer with thanks, for the child might have my beauty and your brains."

I don't need to look it up because I know what it means, and it applies to me in no way.

Here's a quote for you.

As a general rule of thumb, hybrid vigor (another way of saying a reduction of inbreeding depression) is strongest in first generation hybrids and gets weaker over time. In contrast, outbreeding depression can be relatively weak in the first generation. But outside the context of ruthless selective pressure, outbreeding depression will increase in power through the further generations as co-adapted gene complexes are broken apart without the forging of new co-adapted gene complexes to take their place.

And it's easy to just focus on "Tiger Woods" to "prove" your point. Did you clowns ever think of taking a scientific sample? How about including this guy?

In terms of nature, Mutts are physically better off than the show specimens. Pure breds or show animals would be dead within a matter of weeks on their own. Meanwhile, Mutts and hybrids tend to do extremely well in the wild. The Mustang is a prime example.

Wrong. Evolution in intelligence is accompanied by increases in brain size. It's not an absolute rule but there is a correlation. Evolutionary increases in intelligence are in some cases associated with increases in brain size. Otherwise bigger brains would not have evolved. And indeed the MRI correlation between brain size and IQ is 0.4. This is a fact. You are wrong. This doesn't mean brain size is a perfect predictor of intelligence. So finding one exception does not disprove the rule

Again;

Are you going to do some more dodging?

Read the articles, its all there.

As for your earlier quote, a person of mixed background is more likely to offspring with someone of a different race. Tiger Woods for example had children with a woman from Sweden, though he himself is a person of mostly Black and Asian heritage.

In the end, outbreeding depression is pretty unlikely in human populations.

I am unfamiliar with the term "outbreeding depression." Is that a valid scientific principle, or is it one of those terms you only find in racist dogma?
