To our theory about bi-racialism and identity I notice in this video -- which is almost impossible to watch the faces are so hideous -- that some of the women with lighter skin seem to be particularly bitter and aggressive.

Consider that as a class, black women are placed lowest on the pole of attractiveness and bi racial "black" women often have trouble fitting in with the black community on top of that. I would probably be bitter too - especially if, as is commonly the case, you're the product of a white mother (generally considered the most attractive) and a black father, the type of man who rejects women that look like you to chase white skinned women. Your largest pool of potential mates are black men who statistically have sky high STD rates, domestic abuse rates, child abandonment rates, marriage and divorce rates, awful income potential etc and most of them will drop you in a heartbeat if a white woman gives them a chance.

More and more of these bitter women are going to be produced as more white women pair up with black men (and to a much lesser extent white men with black women). And society and media will work to convince them all that this is the fault and plot of white people (especially white men) rather than the absolutely terrible state of black men and their treatment of their own women or the white women who enable this grotesque situation.

Somewhat the same could be said about hapa males, except of course without all the awful statistics mentioned attached to the men.

Funny anecdote. A Hispanic girl that I knew was quite happy that she had historical European admixture. By her standards those mixed people are better looking than the Indigenous Hispanics. I think this trend is likely who you see in a lot of Hispanic media as well.

Where is this theory laid out?

'Our' was a silly way to say it but I mean the general idea that bi-racial people often feel alienated from both groups, suffer more neuroses and can tend to over compensate for that loss of identity by aggressively adopting their Black side. 'Colin Kapernick Syndrome' if you will.

One study, bi-racial Asians

https://www.ucdavis.edu/news/biracial-asian-americans-and-mental-health

Anew study of Chinese-Caucasian, Filipino-Caucasian, Japanese-Caucasian and Vietnamese-Caucasian individuals concludes that biracial Asian Americans are twice as likely as monoracial Asian Americans to be diagnosed with a psychological disorder.

Another interesting one is pelvic issues from labour and rates of Caesarian section

https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/10/081001093229.htm

More specifically, the researchers found that white mother/Asian father couples had the lowest rate (23 percent) of caesarean delivery, while Asian mother/white father couples had the highest rate (33.2 percent). Because birth weights between these two groups were similar, the researchers say the findings suggest that the average Asian woman's pelvis may be smaller than the average white woman's and less able to accommodate babies of a certain size. (Asian couples had babies with the lowest median birth weight, so caesarean delivery was less common among those women.)

As well as increased prevalence of GDM, from the same article

El-Sayed and his colleagues also found that the incidence of gestational diabetes was lowest among white couples at 1.61 percent and highest among Asian couples at 5.73 percent - and just under 4 percent for Asian-white couples.

But...but...but...race is a social construct.

There is bi-directional feedback but our environment is far more plastic than we are, at least with respect to things with genetic limits.

I was obviously being sarcastic.

I know, I was just in a more serious train of thought with something else.
