'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.
