Does anyone know of any studies analysing the outcomes of mixed-race offspring?

A good source is J. Richard Udry’s Health and Behavior Risks of Adolescents with Mixed-Race Identity showing that mixed race kids are significantly less healthy than kids who aren’t, and in fact make up the single least healthy racial cohort in the United States.

Udry's study showed mixed race children are more likely to wake up tired, have skin problems, headaches, sleep problems, other aches and pains, and struggle with depression. They are more likely to drink alcohol and smoke cigarettes as teenagers, as well as more likely more likely to skip school, and get suspended. They are more likely to attempt suicide and more likely to succeed when they do.

Not just more likely than white kids. More likely than all single race kids, including African-American kids.

Wikipedia list some:

"Comparisons across marriage cohorts revealed that, overall, interracial couples have higher rates of divorce, particularly for those that married during the late 1980s." https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/j.1741-3729.2008.00491.x

Wikipedia also list this study "Marital Dissolution Among Interracial Couples" which is more contemporary and has a much higher sample size, and found overall interracial marriages are less stable than endogamous marriages. Now weather is due to racial difference in intelligence, which it mirrors (they controlled for SES and didn't it was per se causal) it could be. Wikipedia has a large section on the effects of divorce on children's mental health. The official sources don't paint a pretty picture.

see these points for more extensive data.

Our Media paints it as a total hegemonic positive yet the fact of the matter paints is it has overall negative psychological and social effects.

Biracial Asian Americans and Mental Health

Pregnant women who are part of an Asian-white couple face an increased risk of gestational diabetes as compared with couples in which both partners are white, according to a new study from Lucile Packard Children's Hospital and the Stanford University School of Medicine. The researchers also found that Asian women whose partners are white are more likely than white women with Asian or white partners to have a caesarean delivery, as part of a broad analysis of perinatal outcomes among Asian, white and Asian–white couples.

Here's a long list of studies that go into depth on the genetic and social consequences of miscegenation.
