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.

That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. I'm white (the only mix I am is Swedish, English and Dutch), I grew up primarily around other white people, I find white women to be very attractive and I am attracted to some mixed race women. I also find some other races to be very attractive like Asian women for example (I have a thing for Asian women actually ;) ). I happened to marry an Italian woman (obviously, I find her attractive).

Am I just an exception to the rule? A freak of nature?

Of all the people I've ever met/seen, those of mixed racial heritage seem to be the most attractive. I wonder why... and I also wonder if their immune systems, etc. are stronger.

All white people are mixed. All of our ancestors were dirty prostitutes.

I'm Irish, German, English, Czech, Polish, Finnish, Dutch, etc. all rolled into one.

The first four I listed are my grandparent's ethnicities though.

Seems somewhat of a hasty generalization to me, because my eyes have certainly laid witness to many aesthetically displeasing people of mixed ethnicity.

You never know around here... many people request my pic since I bodybuild. But no, I don't have any pics here at work. When I get home after the gym.

Your sister. But if I have to look at you too then so be it! To be honest I'm curious about you too since you mention it, being that you have no problems with the ladies. Might as well check out the competition!

mariah carey isn't white/black is she? i remember mtv showed pictures of her parents and both were white, and both were opera singers (i point out the opera sings part because most black kids that i grew up with used the explanation that mariah is black, why do you think she can sing so good?)

about mixed people looking cute/hot, its just two unique factors that make them stand out, hence making you remember them more.
1) being hot/cute
2) being mixed
when you see a mixed person that is average or ugly most wouldn't even bother to wonder if they are mixed, or care to ask them or get to know them. it is just an overgeneralization (all mixed people are cute/hot). people will point out kristin kreuk, etc. but c'mon most actresses have to be hot in order to make it right?

Ie. different features of race A + different features of race B = hotness.

It's all biology. Hybrid offsprings usually inherit the best characteristics of both parents. The resulting offspring would have a larger chance of survival and are usually genetically more robust (read healthier). Think of dogs as an example, a purebred usually has serious health problems due to inbreeding to produce the purebred. Same goes to the law for not marrying relatives, the inbreeding decreaces the genetic robustness of the gene pool. Since beauty is an indication of genetic robustness, it would make sense that people usually find people of mix-race more attractive since the people of mix-race is more genetically robust.

In other words, mix-race = good for humanity.
