      you too have too be mixed too be good looking there is plenty of good looking white people 100% White people but mixed race people tend too be better looking because they got the best of both worlds.

        I dont think thats true some of the ugliest people are mixed race people who are 1/2 one race and 1/2 another are usually ok looking. But nearly every 1/4 black person or 1/4 Indian I’ve seen look really weird.

          I find the best looking people are of full european blood, however mixed race people (provided white is mixed in) can be attractive, but not in all cases, the whole “mixed race people are so attractive” is a very overrated view

            Why don’t you try something different for once, lol. Europeans are very average looking and boring (except Eastern Europeans and Southern Europeans). I’m more into “exotic” people.

        • Dogg says:

          I agree. Mixed-race people are the best looking people. There has even been a study done on this. The second best looking people are Caucasians, then East Asians, then Negros (no offense to any black people here, this is just my opinion)

          • ashash says:

            There’s also been plenty of studies stating that white men are the most desirable.

            I pretty much think anyone of any race can be attractive.
