12:30p - Racial Identity + Media Perceptions = WANK!

Over at interracial, miyaunna x-posts a topic from </v:imagedata></v:shape>[info]</a>blackfolk</span></span> (or rather, unlinked excerpts from this topic), regarding the media's mentioning of the "multi-racial good looks" of new R&B singer Cassie.  Apparently, she was bemused by many users taking issue with the emphasis of Cassie's mixed heritage and wanted the comm's view on the perceptions of "bi-racial = Automatically Beautiful".

It starts out thoughtfully enough...

'Race' is not biological. Furthermore, attractiveness is determnined by 'symmetry' not by 'strong genes' or however you state it"</a></span>

mauser: Gee, you're so right. Why should anyone think that mixed-race is beautiful. It should be the exact opposite. They're IMPURE! They should be considered UGLY! An Abomination! A crime against nature! /sarcasm

chreebomb: STFU!

Aaand, we’re off!

Small, but tasty.  Enjoy!

Edit#2: If this thread with cleojones keeps up, I may have to do an [info]i_wank addendum...
