I'm Catalan. No such thing as ethnically pure, and if you are I don’t know how you are able to type since you have webbed hands and feet, and your sister is also your mother. Posted by: Anima Eternae Posted on: Today at 13:30:40

Posted by: Anima Eternae Posted on: Today at 13:30:40 What the hell are you talking about? There's no such thing as 'aboslute' purity, but are you going to tell me a Brazilian is somehow just as "pure" as a Han Chinese? What I was trying to say is that I think mixes generally turn out less appealing, unless they're white/asian.

Black/White mixes tend to be better looking than pure blacks, in my opinion. Also, not all White/Mongoloid mixes are good, sure Kristin Kreuk is hot...but look at Rob Schneider...

If you are defining “ethnically pure” in that narrow sense then I would have to simply answer you with a “maybe” answer. If you refer to a Han Chinese as being “ethnically pure” then perhaps maybe not the average Brazilian, but some Brazilians are “ethnically pure” as a Portuguese in Europe. Latin America is as diverse as North America. (ie USA) There are Amerindians, Mestizos, Europeans, Blacks, and yes even Asians. (Although technically Mestizos, (Euroasian) and Amerindians are generally thought to have originally migrated from Asia)

Again, this is purely conjecture on your part. The evidence suggests that for the most part Europeans tend to find other Europeans more preferable when choosing a partner. Otherwise there would be no white people.

No shit, sherlock. Every race finds its own type the most preferable. Eurasians, however, have a well deserved stereotype for being attractive and intelligent.

Posted by: Anima Eternae Yes we all know Brazil is a mixed country. (But please read carefully:...."ethnically pure” then perhaps maybe not the average Brazilian, but some Brazilians are “ethnically pure” as a Portuguese in Europe. )

Look kiddo, I appreciate that fact that you are probably a mix of the two races. I hate to burst your bubble but, no such thing as Eurasian as “ethnic group” of people running around or a distinct group of people which compose an entire nation. There is no nation state that has this as an ethnic composition of its people or stock among its population. So, unless some Asian country spares a good portion of their population and mixes and Europeans decide to mongrelize themselves, your choice in a mate will be limited. I also understand the fact that you find them intelligent and good-looking. That’s great. But this again is your opinion, and how am I going to change that, or how are you going to change my oppinion? What do you want from me?
Personally I have seen one mix “Euro-Asian” in my life and the poor sap, was neither that bright nor that attractive to the opposite sex. I'd post a picture of him, but I feel bad for the guy.
Poor guy.

I feel sorry for unattractive eurasians...they're the exception, by far.

I thought I was until recently. If you would have asked a year ago I would have proudly said I'm 50% Scottish and 50% Dutch= All European. But I recently found out that my bloodline is "tainted" on both sides. My father's family is proud to be Dutch Americans his mothers parents came from the Netherlands and on his father's side his Grandfather came from the Netherlands and his grandmother came from South Africa (Afrikaner.) What's so ironic is its my dutch side that is the most racist (ie some were in the Klan during the 1960s), but my aunt was doing our geneology and found out, much to her dismay, that my 9th great grandmother was actually a dutch mulatto woman (a free woman of color) born to a Dutch planter and his slave during the 1700s in Suriname (Dutch Guiana.) The mulatto women then became the mistress of another Dutch planter who sent several of his mixed sons including my 8th great grandfather to the Netherlands to be educated. My quadroon gggggggggreat grandfather stayed in the Netherlands and our bloodline bleached itself out. I also learned that my Afrikaner great grandmother had a Malay ancestor which is really ironic since I have "white" realtives in South Africa who are some of the most racist people you will ever meet, they even want to form a white homeland in Africa separate from everyone else. I have since read that there is quite a bit of hidden non-white ancestory in the Afrikaner population, which might explain why they're so defensive about race. On my Scottish side I learned that my ggggreat grandmother was a Saulteaux (native American)/ Scottish metis woman born in Manitoba, Canada. So I guess to an extent that makes me a mutt- go figure, because a year ago I might have agrued with someone who claim, "aren't we all mixed to a degree"!!!!

I voted yes, I am pure. Many would indeed assert that Indians are mixed. But what happened approximately 4000 hardly qualifies as intermixing in my humble opinion. If you go further down in history, there is evidence that farmers in some parts of Europe were indeed "replaced" by those hailing from the middle-east, probably the fertile crescent, where many of the farming technologies were born.

There actually are Nations out there that consider Eurasians an "ethnic group": Macau New Caledonia Phillipines French Polynesia Singapore
