Renewed interest in claims that multiracial people inherently superior

The GLP aggregated and excerpted this blog/article to reflect the diversity of news, opinion and analysis.

In 2006, author Alon Ziv published the first edition of Breeding Between the Lines, a haphazard exploration of the idea that mixed-race people are inherently “healthier and more attractive” than people of non-mixed backgrounds.
