http://www.channel4.com/programmes/is-it-better-to-be-mixed-race/4od#3008214For those who think that mixed race offsprings are taboos and outcast,this may give them something to puzzle on.Some people are subjectively static,mentally and otherwise that they fail to see the dynamism in nature,nothing ever remain the same,nature is constantly on the move Black and white skin in time will become a thing of the past,just like we evolve from ape like state,man is still going to evolve into something else where differences in color,features and concepts will be non existent,by then though,we will be history but it is surely going to happen. Genes are just products of locations,environments,needs,concepts and even food.

Unfortunately you can't,but people might someday in future stumble upon your wish. Since we are able to record our activities,the future generation will be able to delve into our thoughts,wishes,concepts,fears and features,which of course they will consider primitive.

Brazil is a mixed race society is it any less racist than Europe or America?
On the contrary, it is far more racist.
Mixing up the races won't create a racial utopia.

Very well said. People always like to say if everyone is mixed the world will become more peaceful to justify mixing the races. It'll probably cause more confusion and racism.

actually there is no such thing like race. It is mainly a social construct that is outdated. In Brazil people who are mixed with white, indigenous and black or have a high degree of European ancestory are a different race from 'pure' blacks regardless of their black mixture. Similar in countries of latin America. In the USA both "races" are the same. Depends on your cup of tea.
And no its not better to be anything. We are all humans

Greater gene diveristy, therefoe creating ability for the selection of more gene mutations which might be beneficial to man kind.

Thank you Morpheus. I agree, by spawning gene mutations through cross breeding, the resulting diversities create a generation far more equipped than its parent donors to fight off challenges to which its predecessor were vulnerable. There are different types of mixtures and Im talking here of the one where the colors are distinctinvely obvious as in white/black mix.
Looking at the American society as a viable ground to test the success or otherwise of this benefit, it is clear to note that the children of mixed blood parentage have not succeeded except in instances where such seeming success was inadvertently influenced as a political plot aimed at usurping power or , as in the case of American Blacks. . .to show the new face of gains resulting from civil rights battles of the 60s - rightfully worded, "desegragation".
If we go to Europe, it is worse! The value of pure breed is not lost on the Europeans as it did on the Americans. Secretly, the majority, in unspoken words, wish that Hitler had succeeded in ridding Europe of the non-blue eyed or reduced them to their place of servitude. . . doing boi-boi, instead of sitting uppity and rubbing shoulders with honorable MPs, but they can't say these things.
If we go to Africa, the worth of pure breed has been traded. In exchange for social progress and elitism, an African would cross breed with white and use that acquisition to isolate and insulate. . .this is not to say that there are no pure motives for love and family, but the glamor of cross breeding is at the level of reverence equalled to one finally meeting the savior.
In all of these, in Europe and America and Africa. . . the cross breeds have not demonstrated convincingly the benefits you fluently described. There is another benefit to cross breeding that you did not mention. Im wondering if you deliberately omitted to mention it because of your distaste for political propaganda. Cross breeding bridges gap across national and internation differences and serves as a very good diplomatic instrument for negotiating interests. For that reason, Kings and Queens were notorious for marrying their daughters off to noble bloods in foreign lands. . .it unifies and allies the Kingdoms and also expands the dominion for auxiliary political power.

Exactly. I mean white people are not really white. Black people likewise.

Black people come in various hues from yellow, light brown, caramel, mocha to pitch black. Most people you refer to as mixed with so called 'pure black" populations identify as black because they fit quite comfortably in the already unmixed hues of colors black people exihibit without necessary ad mixture models. . So to answer the question. Is it better to be mixed race. Well it depends on who you are asking that question and what part of the planet they live in. "Stephen Biko, in his trial in 1976, rejected the appellation "brown people" when it was put to him by Judge Boshoff: Boshoff: But now why do you refer to you people as blacks? Why not brown people? I mean you people are more brown than black. Biko: In the same way as I think white people are more pink and yellow and pale than white. Boshoff: Quite , but now why do you not use the word brown then? Biko: No, I think really, historically, we have been defined as black people, and when we reject the term non-white and take upon ourselves the right to call ourselves what we think we are, we have got available in front of us a whole number of alternatives , and we choose this one precisely because we feel it is most accommodating

Still not answering the question.  Black people come in various hues from yellow, light brown, caramel, mocha to pitch black. Most people you refer to as mixed with so called 'pure black" populations identify as black because they fit quite comfortably in the already unmixed hues of colors black people exihibit without necessary ad mixture models. .
Exactly, black people come in different shades, this whole "black"/ "white" race thing is a societal construct made by white people. Even all white people don't come in the same shade. Some are paler than others.
