No not really. At least not at a higher percentage than any "pure" race. Plenty of ugly bi-racial people.

What's a pure race :confused:

Mongoloid, Caucasoid, Negroid

AFAIK, those are obsolete, archaic classification that current geneticists and anthropologist don't use anymore.

The great geneticist Cavalli-Sforza, stated that if we were to travel from one end of Eurasia to the opposite end, we'll see how people's features only very gradually change from one region to another -- i.e. Spanish and Southern French people look similar, and Danish looks similar to Swedish, but most Spanish looks quite different from most Swedes, and if you compare people from even greater geographical distances, i.e. the Tungus (southeastern Siberia) to Spanish, obviously, they'll look even more different.

They still used those classifications in my archaeology textbook last year

Strictly speaking, Archaeology is neither Anthropology nor Genetics ;)

Yes, they can be the hottest people on earth, but then there are also the ugly ones that pop out. Usually anyone who is bug-eyed and you can't tell what race they are is nasty mix. Some of them look like pug dogs.

A person's view of beauty is generally shaped by what they see all of their lives. That's why quite a lot of people will say "I don't like X group of people. They just don't do it for me." However, if you grow up around the same kind of people, no matter how good a person looks they will always look just like everyone else.

When somebody is of mixed background there is enough of the familiar so that they can fit your vision of beauty, but enough of a difference that they stand out, become exotic.
