Subject: RE: BS: USA 'Browning' -- Ethnic Diversity
Holy hell.

Nobody (especially me) who said that mixed races make beautiful people said...

1. that it made beautiful people as compared to what was before. There was no "...MORE beautiful than..." statement made.

2. all mixed race people are beautiful -- any more than that any other "race" of people are all beautiful.

Does a hybrid flower detract from either flower from which it was drawn just because it is beautiful? Does the statement that a particular hybrid is beautiful imply in ANY way that ANY other flower is not beautiful -- even equally beautiful?

Is it racist to claim that one can kind of tell if a person appears to be of mixed race? Really? Sure, there are exceptions, but you really can't tell if a person appears to be of mixed ancestory?
