The post about this on the mothership was a mess. So many people saying "Mixed-race babies are the most beautiful!" Over and over and over again. Blegh.
I'm guessing it has something to do with stereotyping a wide range of racial combinations into one category, and perhaps also something about that "most" part.
It creeps me out when people make generalizations like that, it feels fetishitic and a lot of the discussion sounds eugenics-y.
Also, there is a very specific type of mixed race person that people praise and declare beautiful and that's the type that have a lot of euro features that conform to white beauty standards.
I'm a white girl dating an Asian guy and I have no idea how many times we've been told that our babies would be OMG SO CUTE!! but it is getting really old, as well as awkward and just weird.
