I've posted this before -     http://i14.tinypic.com/6kpn2hj.jpg Reference: Udry JR, Li RM, Hendrickson-Smith J: Health and behavior risks of adolescents with mixed-race identity. Am J Public Health 2003, 93:1865-1870. Total sample size: 83,135 + 18,924, based on the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health from grades 7 through 12 during 1994-1995. Sample size is therefore HUGE. Now, look at the results. Can someone tell me why anyone would like to mix with a black? Look at the GPA scores of the child, especially between Asian and black. The child's achievements in most cases become becomes virtually black. Likewise for other groups. Just look at it yourself if you don't believe me. Here, I type it out for you: Percentage of children reaching the 75th percentile (if distribution is average or 'normal' it should be 25%) -- i.e. higher the better: "Pure"    White - 32.27  Black - 15.45  American Indian - 14.97  Asian 43.16 "Mixed"    White/black 24.19    White/American Indian 27.10    White/Asian 37.58    Black/American Indian 18.79    Black/Asian 18.57    Asian/American Indian 21.82 Now, let's control for parental education:     http://i14.tinypic.com/6kpn2hj.jpg Controlling for a college-educated parent, the percentages of students who score over the 75th percentile are (i.e. higher number the better, baseline should be 25%): "Pure" race adolescents:    Asian 60.8%    White - 41.3%    Black 35.39% Mixed race adolescents:   White/Asian 52.36%   White/Black 39.46%   Black/Asian 35.81% More importantly, from the SAT, children from black households that make over $100,000 score LOWER than children from white households that make less than $10,000.  Amazing isn't it? - Hide quoted text -- Show quoted text -
