Have you ever written about the dominance of Latinos in baseball?

Whenever I see tall white men with toy Asian wives I lament the waste of height, and I wonder if the man had considered how his choice of mate might impact the size and girth of any sons resulting from their union.

“Have you ever written about the dominance of Latinos in baseball?”

Especially the dominance of Afro Latinos in baseball, because most Latino players in the MLB would not blend in a crowd of Spaniards phenotype wise. Your average Latino MLB player looks closer to Barry Bonds in phenotype than to Mark McGwire. Which should not be surprising when you factor in which Spanish speaking countries are sending the most baseball players to The United States and it is not Argentina or Spain that’s for damn sure.

Although it is interesting that Chris Rock does not see Afro Latino MLB players as Black, he just racially lumps them in with White MLB players and than says the MLB is Whiter than the Ferguson police department. Any MLB players who have a Spanish last name is automatically White to Chris Rock, regardless of phenotype.

Afro Latinos are not seen as Vibrant Diversity in the MLB just like Asians are not seen as Vibrant Diversity in Silicon Valley.

Brawl over Confederate Flag.

There’s another aspect which is that interracial mating tends to increase phenotype variance, so interracial celebrities (e.g., Quincey Jones’ daughter Rashida Jones)

Here’s Kenya Jones, the daughter that Quincy had with the very lovely Nastassja Kinski:

Have you ever written about the dominance of Latinos in baseball?

Aren’t most of the dominant latinos in baseball mostly descendants of black slaves, and as such, have almost nothing in common with Mexicans other than the Spanish language?

Taller, as in 5′-5″ as opposed to 5′_3″.

But we don’t see much of the unlucky losers (unless they have a lot of talent besides looks).

However, here’s a rare photo of Richard Pryor with his comedienne daughter Rain Pryor.

Rain Pryor isn’t a supermodel and her hair looks like sideshow bob, but she is a pretty girl. This hot-or-not comment seems somewhat childish for Sailer

TV Land dropped reruns of The Dukes Of Hazzard from their lineup, because of the Confederate flag on The General Lee.

Political correctness on steroids has made America go full retard. As Robert Downey Jr.’s character says in Tropic Thunder, you never go full retard.

Another way inbreeding can occur is in an endogamous population that has gone through a bottleneck. Ashkenazi Jews are the classic example. They had a very small population 20-25 generations ago. Harpending is wrong to say there was no bottleneck. All geneticists know there was. As a result there are many Ashkenazi diseases such as Tay-Sachs or familial dysautonomia. It’s the result of a remote history of inbreeding, that is a founder effect. Other populations that are bottle necked include Finns, Sardinians, and Micronesians.

But we don’t see much of the unlucky losers (unless they have a lot of talent besides looks).

However, here’s a rare photo of Richard Pryor with his comedienne daughter Rain Pryor

Billy Joel’s daughter with Christie Brinkley looks like her father (and I suppose sings like her mother). Big genetic loser (but, hey, she’s Billy Joel’s daughter, so she doesn’t have to worry about supporting herself or finding a man).

There’s another aspect which is that interracial mating tends to increase phenotype variance, so interracial celebrities (e.g., Quincey Jones’ daughter Rashida Jones) tend to be the lucky winners in the looks department in a more high stakes genetic lottery.

But we don’t see much of the unlucky losers (unless they have a lot of talent besides looks).

There’s also the way that differences in phenotype can cause tension/divisions within families:

KIDADA: I was kicked out of Buckley in second grade for behavior problems. I didn’t want my mother to come to my new school. If kids saw her, it would be: “your mom’s white!” I told Mom she couldn’t pick me up; she had to wait down the street in her car. Did Rashida have that problem? No! She passed for white.

RASHIDA: “Passed”?! I had no control over how I looked. This is my natural hair, these are my natural eyes! I’ve never tried to be anything that I’m not. Today I feel guilty, knowing that because of the way our genes tumbled out, Kidada had to go through pain I didn’t have to endure. Loving her so much, I’m sad that I’ll never share that experience with her.

RASHIDA: But it was different with our grandparents. Our dad’s father died before we were born. We didn’t see our dad’s mother often. I felt comfortable with Mommy’s parents, who’d come to love my dad like a son. Kidada wasn’t so comfortable with them. I felt Jewish; Kidada didn’t.

KIDADA: I knew Mommy’s parents were upset at first when she married a black man, and though they did the best they could, I picked up on what I thought was their subtle disapproval of me. Mommy says they loved me, but I felt estranged from them.

PEGGY: Kidada never wanted to be white. She spoke with a little…twist in her language. She had ‘tude. Rashida spoke more primly, and her identity touched all bases. She’d announce, “I’m going to be the first female, black, Jewish president of the U.S.!”

KIDADA: When I was 11, a white girlfriend and I were going to meet up with these boys she knew. I’d told her, because I wanted to be accepted, “Tell them I’m tan.” When we met them, the one she was setting me up with said, “You didn’t tell me she was black.” That’s When I started defining myself as black, period. Why fight it? Everyone wanted to put me in a box. On passports, at doctor’s offices, when I changed schools, there were boxes to check: Caucasian, Black, Hispanic, Asian. I don’t mean any dishonor to my mother–who is the most wonderful mother in the world, and we are so alike–but: I am black. Rashida answers questions about “what” she is differently. She uses all the adjectives: black, white, Jewish.

However, here’s a rare photo of Richard Pryor with his comedienne daughter Rain Pryor.

She kind of reminds me of Rumer Willis with that chin:

Rumer is the daughter of Bruce Willis and Demi Moore, so I don’t really know what happened there.

“Rain Pryor isn’t a supermodel and her hair looks like sideshow bob, but she is a pretty girl.”

What a waste.

The are predominately of African descent, particularly the Dominicans. A lot of them would be playing football if they were raised in the states, they are so big.

“Billy Joel’s daughter with Christie Brinkley looks like her father”

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeyuck.

Algerians should be tops in everything since they are racially mixed.

I wonder why they are all trying to flee to Europe.

Rashida Jones has dated more White men than all of the Kardashian sisters combined.

“Whenever I see tall white men with toy Asian wives I lament the waste of height, and I wonder if the man had considered how his choice of mate might impact the size and girth of any sons resulting from their union.”

Most men prefer to date/marry women who are shorter than them. That is why Asian women are a hot commodity in the Heterosexual dating/marriage market and most WNBA women are not.

Daamn, that’s one huge jaw. Easter Island wants their head back.

Bruce Willis’s daughters also got a little too much gene expression from their father.

> Another way inbreeding can occur is in an endogamous population that has gone through a bottleneck. Ashkenazi Jews are the classic example.

A cursory spot check indicates that half-Jews are at least as successful, if not more so than full Jews. Obviously there’s a lot of selection affects here. And outbreeding Jews probably are mating with the upper half of the gentile bell curve. Still even with that, regression to the lower gentile mean should disadvantage half-Ashkenazi offspring. The most plausible explanation is that hybrid vigor is counteracting this effect.

Ashkenazi Jews are a very racially mixed population. Are they a good example of hybrid vigor?

Go google her images; not pretty. If anything, Steve took one of her better ones as an example.

”Are genetically smarter than their ancestors”

How this researchers proved it???

Well, White monoracial British ”kids” also are taller than their ”ancestors”. Smarter too??

For some politically incorrect (zzzzzaion… ) stuff, iq is worst than ”Miss universe questions” to measure ‘intelligence” ‘or’ cognition. To prove new Unengland, iq is absolutely amazing. Well, well, well…

Ashkenazi Jews are a very racially mixed population.

I’m not sure that I would characterize them as “very racially mixed”:

I’m looking at abstracts on Ashkenazi genetics from ASHG 2013 and SMBE 2014 – by the same group, with Shai Carmi as the lead author. They did 128 whole genomes, 50x deep.

They concluded Ashkenazi Jews were about 50% Middle Eastern and 50% European. In the 2013 abstract, they were pretty specific: they estimated the European ancestry fraction at 55% , plus or minus 2%. ( In our book, we had a crude estimate of about 40% European ancestry.) They estimated the split between Europeans and Middle Easterners at about 9000 BC: which sounds about the right date for the entry of the Sardinian-like farmers. From other data (mtDNA) , and from the fact that you see almost zero WHG or ANE in Ashkenazi autosomal genes, one can conclude that the European admixture was mostly Italian, with some southern French. Very little German or Slavic – by that time serious endogamy had set in..

https://westhunt.wordpress.com/2014/06/24/ashkenazi-ancestry/

Middle Eastern plus Italian/Southern European, those are two fairly closely related populations.It’s not like Mexico, which is a compound of Amerind and Iberian.

Are they a good example of hybrid vigor?

Seeing as how the mixture occurred over one thousand years ago, I would say no.

Bruce Willis’s daughters also got a little too much gene expression from their father.

Especially Rumer, new photos of whom graced Huffingon Post every single day a couple of years ago.

The Willis jaw must be a very dominant trait. Actually, the jaw isn’t really all that big. It’s the fact that her nose is so small. I wonder if that’s the result of plastic surgery.

Nobody’s commented on that last sentence. I conclude that istevers are extremely nice people.

She does have to worry. Status doesn’t make girls more attractive to men.

The tall white men with Asian women WANT their sons to be less than them.

It’s getting rid of any other male competition to their status.

There’s a Male Disease going on in America that I’ve seen in white men…and it is a desire to Deny Your Children That Which You Had.

The Uighurs in China are half-asian/half-white and they are no competition for Han Chinese or Pure Whites.

Also, test score wise…Half-Asians score lower than Pure Whites on Verbal…Half-Asians score Lower than Asians on GPA…The goal isn’t to be ‘good at stuff’ the goal is to be Excellent At Something…

Then you have White + Mexican or Mediterranean White and you get serious drug low IQ problems…

Jeb Bush’s kids are far from successful. Ted Cruz just talked about his sister being a drug addict and later committing suicide….a situation similar to Jeb’s daughter.

Interracial Marriage is the Nail in the Coffin for America…because the next generation won’t be genetically white…

I’ll say it….

Pure English, Pure German, Pure Scandic are the Gold Standards

Blue eyes people. Blue eyes. If you turn your kid’s eyes brown…may you get what you deserve.

No, they’re a good example of what happens in a culture where the top scholars traditionally get the best chicks.

I wonder if the large corpus of movies and TV shows where the nerd gets the girl in the end isn’t deliberate cultural manipulation but just a result of Jewish Hollywood misapplying its own Jungian collective unconscious when producing stories about gentiles.

Someone on Return of Kings wrote…(paraphrased)

While white men marry Asian/Black/Latino women from third world countries because of their ‘traditional family values’

Jews ONLY marry out to a) Absorb Wealth b) Absorb IQ Gains c) Absorb Looks

The black chick isn’t even as close as being as hot as her white mother.

She looks hispanic and mean

Join the line of highschool hispanic girls who look similar.

Her face is symmetrical and her eyelash extensions are fantastic ala Kim Kardashian.

But she is not a True Beauty worthy of Inspiring Art.

(If you look very carefully her eyes are way too close together, hence why she is wearing eyelash extensions that are winged tip to pull the eyes farther apart)

Didn’t that Willis girl wander around Brooklyn topless for a while? She had very nice breasts if I remember correctly.

Ever notice how bloggers tend to cherry-pick artifacts of globo-capitalism AKA “meritocracy” as representative sciencey examples demonstrating some off-the-cuff evolutionary theory requiring absolutely no research than looking for the first bad photo of celebrity children in Google Images…. It’s like moneyball for the sensation of knowledge. But nobody seems to NOTICE it, due to the Anti-Noticing Holocaust ibid. At least Russia is still #1 and always will be

I’ve always wondered why studies haven’t been run to answer a very important and basic sort of question: how much does physical similarity between one parent (or side of family) correlate with other sorts of traits, such as IQ, personality, temperament, etc.

Is it really plausible that, say, the facial features and head shape strongly resemble a given parent or relative, but that the internal characteristics of the brain are no more likely to resemble the same relative than any other relative with the same percentage of shared genes? Can development work in such a way that the head in general develops physically in a very specific way, but that the brain more or less develops independently?

I find it hard to believe that it might be so, but only evidence would settle this very interesting question. And so far as I know, there is no such evidence one way or the other.

“Most men prefer to date/marry women who are shorter than them. That is why Asian women are a hot commodity in the Heterosexual dating/marriage market and most WNBA women are not.”

I think the issue is proportionality, not simply whether or not the man is taller.

All true.. but it’s interesting that Natasha is the child of the gross-looking Klaus.

How did that happen?

Meryl Streep’s daughter is kinda fugly — like her mom. XOXOHTH

OT: The Guardian confirms that the rate at which police kill blacks is much lower than the rate at which blacks commit violent crimes.

Blacks commit about 50% of violent crime, and 44% of murdered cops are killed by blacks, but only 28.3% of people killed by police are black.

Of the 547 people found by the Guardian to have been killed by law enforcement so far this year, 49.7% were white, 28.3% were black and 15.5% were Hispanic/Latino. According to US census data, 62.6% of the population is white, 13.2% is black and 17.1% is Hispanic/Latino.

http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/jul/01/us-police-killings-this-year-black-americans

The Guardian study is compiling a complete catalog of police killings, so it is not subject to the criticism that it is based on incomplete data.

That is true to a point. More than a head shorter and it’s too short IMO.

Actually the most dominant Latins in baseball tend to be British… They’re always from Bermuda; Barbuda; Trans-Kokomo– places like that. It’s referred to as the 6th tool

Merkel has one thing in common with Hitler.

Both have failed in stopping the invasion and the destruction of Germany.

—-

The lesson Germans need to take from WWII is that Germany should NOT invade other nations. Likewise, Germans should not be invaded by non-Germans.

But Germany learned the wrong lesson. They are allowing Germany to be invaded by other nations. And demographic invasion is the most dangerous kind.

Hitler’s Germany would not have been invaded if Hitler didn’t invade other nations.

As democratic Germany since the end of WWII didn’t invade other nations, there is NO reason for any people to invade Germany.

But we keep hearing that Germany must ‘atone’ for its ‘historical sins’ by being invaded.

Mixed race relationships give us mulatto messiah hopeychangers like Baraq Obama.

The next step is to take out mental cases seeking “suicide by cop”. That would probably raise the black rate a bit.

It’s probably worth mentioning that the hybrid vigor effect on g seems to be real at least across the Asian and European races. According to Jensen in his book on g, such couplings produce an effect of .25-.3 SD, which isn’t trivial.

It might be smaller or larger between pure SubSaharan Africans and Europeans. Of course if Subsaharans have g of 1 SD less as a population to start with, the hybrid vigor would just push up the average above the half way point between the two — but that would be only about .25 below the European.

Maybe Obama is such a case.

No, they’re a good example of what happens in a culture where the top scholars traditionally get the best chicks.

Cochran disagrees; he says that they are an example of what happens when an ethny is confined to “White Collar” jobs (money-lending, estate management, tax-farming) for over one thousand years.

There may be a tradeoff as tallness is an advantage for men but can be a handicap for women. Though maybe this isn’t about height. Maybe “size and girth of any sons” is referring to penis size?

Right, Asian women are necessary because there are so few proportionately shorter white women for tall white men to marry.

Exactly. And proportionality also turns out to be key during childbirth. Asian women bearing the the children of white men have higher rates of Cesarean births because their pelvises can’t handle the larger babies. Serves them right for marrying white men is what I say.

“Billy Joel’s daughter with Christie Brinkley looks like her father (and I suppose sings like her mother). Big genetic loser (but, hey, she’s Billy Joel’s daughter, so she doesn’t have to worry about supporting herself or finding a man).”

I just Googled her, and she basically looks like a younger Christie Brinkley, with darker coloured hair. Not everyone finds Nordic-looking women to be our innate aesthetic superiors. I mean, its a popular choice, to be sure, but to suggest Brinkley’s daughter is a “big genetic loser,” based on little more than her having nearly-black hair, seems a tad ridiculous. I find her much more appealing than her mother. And yet, nearly all her individually identifiable facial features, clearly come her mother’s side of the family.

Actually, a dentist once told me that interracial marriage has produced much more need for orthodontics in recent decades. Different races have different jaw structures, and mixing them can result in mismatched upper and lower jaws. Teeth don’t line up properly, and so you end up needing braces to correct the defect.

I’m gonna go with ‘a’ for Marc Mezvinsky.

Rashida Jones has dated more White men than all of the Kardashian sisters combined.

I tend to think that Rashida’s White guy dating history has a lot to do with her Caucasoid phenotype:

RASHIDA: But it was different with our grandparents. Our dad’s father died before we were born. We didn’t see our dad’s mother often. I felt comfortable with Mommy’s parents, who’d come to love my dad like a son. Kidada wasn’t so comfortable with them. I felt Jewish; Kidada didn’t.

As for the Kardashians, it would be interesting to see when, say, Kim developed her Black fixation

The half-Euro Ashkenazim are somewhat more talented than the less racially diluted Sephardim. So that would suggest some evidence of hybrid vigor.

I’m assuming that in both communities, scholars got the best chicks

Cochran disagrees; he says that they are an example of what happens when an ethny is confined to “White Collar” jobs (money-lending, estate management, tax-farming) for over one thousand years.

What type of niche were the Sephardim confined to?

Mexicans inherited all of the weaknesses of being a Mongoloid/Caucasoid mix and none of the strengths. Most Mexicans did not get the high IQ of 1st world Western Whites and Northeast Asians. They instead inherited an IQ that is similar to that of Muslim Caucasoids like Syrians and Southeast Asians like Indonesians.

“Size and girth” is not a phrase that refers to height. It’s used for an entirely different context:

https://www.google.com/#q=%22size+and+girth%22

Black/white hybrid vigor is real at the extremes. Lewis Hamilton is half-white and half-black and is the best racing driver in the world. He is unbelievably good. There are other halfies in the middling ranks who do well. However, to my knowledge, there are no good pure black drivers. Black people have a lot of great talents from musicality to improvisation, when you match those to some of the finer traits found in whites, the results can be spectacular.

What type of niche were the Sephardim confined to?

I think that it was roughly similar to the Ashkenazi White Collar niche, except not quite as highly concentrated.

I don’t know Steve. If you asked me to name the three biggest interracial celebrities that I could, off the top of my head, I would say: Derek Jeter, Tiger Woods, Barack Obama. They all have considerable talent aside from their looks, and, no homo, they aren’t particularly ugly.

Here’s Cochran discussing the IQ gap between Ashkenazi and West Asian-North African Jews

As for the bit about prominent Talmudic scholars automatically acquiring a wealthy man’s daughter as wife, I’d be more inclined to take it seriously if someone would give me at least one example of this happening – better yet, some indication that it happened very often. The histories I read don’t mention it. At all. Moreover, if you bother to make a quantitative model, as you must if you are at all serious, it is easy to see that it is very difficult for a selective effect acting on a tiny fraction of the population to have much impact. Trust me on this.

None of the non-Ashkenazi Jewish populations have exceptionally high average IQs today. Interestingly, Ashkenazi Jews in Israel generally seem to have thought that those other Jews (who mainly arrived in Israel after being expelled by Arab governments after 1948) were environmentally disadvantaged and would soon catch up, certainly by the second generation. But they didn’t. Many people expect this in other analogous situations and they are disappointed too. And surprised. Every time !

Charles Murray argued for a mechanism selecting for high IQs among Jews that goes way back in time, well before the split between the Ashkenazim, Sephardim, Mizarhim, etc. This phenomenon – a generally high IQs among all Jews – does not even exist (Near and Middle Eastern Jews have scores well under 100) , so I am at a loss to understand why he said it. Maybe he was trying to prove his courage and independence of mind by publishing such a thesis in Commentary.

Yeah, was about to say, Rain Pryor? Hot? Thanks, haven’t had a good laugh in about a week.

“Rain Pryor…is a pretty girl.”

She most assuredly is not!

Uh, couldn’t American Blacks just mate with, say, African Blacks (e.g. Nigerians, Ghanians, etc) to produce the same effects?

I mean, you’re not really saying that the US should bet the farm so to speak that in the future, the Russell Wilsons and Stephen Curries of the world will lead us all into amazing IQ levels, better innovative results in STEM fields, medicine, etc?

No, didn’t think that’s what you were getting at.

Most likely around the time when OJ formally “adopted” her to be his godfather. In layman’s terms, that would correspond to be around October 1995.

Speaking of which, the late Philippe Rushton made mention in one of his lectures about the connection between wider/smaller jaws with bigger brain sizes and IQ. Was really quite informative.

Dr. Rushton truly left us all too soon. Shame.

If you and me are fleeing a bear, I don’t have to outrun the bear, I just have to outrun you. Similarly, the Sephardim don’t have to be brighter than Ashkenazim or Europeans, they just have to be brighter than the surrounding population.

Damn, I genuinely feel bad for Rain. She looks like a living remnant of some archaic human lineage that never made it…

However, truth be told, most interracial people *do* end up looking pretty good. One the most beautiful women I’ve ever met was 1/2 Dutch, 1/2 Black Caribbean. And of course exhibit B: Brazil.

It’s also interesting when an interracial child looks *entirely* like the race of one parent. I knew someone in high school who’s father was Black and mother was Vietnamese. I never for a second thought he was anything but fully Asian. When I found out his dad was black, my first reaction was “yeah, right…” but upon further thought I saw glimpses; the facial structure, the overly muscular build…

Offspring between a Scottish Terrier and a Westie will produce lots of gray puppies, but some will be all black and some all white. Genetics and stats are cool that way.

“I just Googled her, and she basically looks like a younger Christie Brinkley, with darker coloured hair. Not everyone finds Nordic-looking women to be our innate aesthetic superiors. I mean, its a popular choice, to be sure, but to suggest Brinkley’s daughter is a “big genetic loser,” based on little more than her having nearly-black hair, seems a tad ridiculous. I find her much more appealing than her mother. And yet, nearly all her individually identifiable facial features, clearly come her mother’s side of the family.”

What I find to be an exotic combo are women who have Non Nordic hair but have Nordic colored eyes, I speaking of course about brunettes with light eyes like Jennifer Connelly, Claire Forlani, Alexandra Daddario, Rena Sofer, etc.

So you’re saying that lesser-IQ Sephardim weren’t selected against as severely as lesser-IQ Ashkenazim?

Depends on which Asian women. The study on C-sections that’s frequently cited included East Asians, Southeast Asians, South Asians such as Indians, and Pacific Islanders under the Asian group. East Asian babies tend to have larger cranium size at birth than European babies. I imagine the hybrids have intermediate cranium size and consequently may be easier births for East Asian mothers.

German Jews were always seen as more culturally gifted than Eastern Euro Jews. Based on what I’ve seen, the German Jews share much stronger phenotypic similarity with the gentile population.

Ashkenazi Jews are not “very racially mixed.” And it’s still up in the air how much European mixture they have — could be anywhere from ~0 to ~3/4ths. We won’t know for sure until a good amount of ancient DNA is sampled from the Levant (looking more likely to be technically feasible now).

On topic: the proposed formative Ashkenazi population would have been a mix of Palestinian-types with Italian-types. Something like Rula Jebreal — another nice example of a fine looking hybrid.

https://www.google.com/search?q=rula+jebreal&safe=off&es_sm=91&biw=1527&bih=832&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=foyUVcyyFNTaoATHhZXYBQ&ved=0CAYQ_AUoAQ

It’s funny, my cattle rancher relatives love to talk about “hybrid vigor” A certain amount of inbreeding is common in cattle. In a heard of under 50, a single bull may be tasked with impregnating all the willing heifers. The father bull and any resulting baby bulls are sold and a new bull will be bought. Mixing things up keeps them healthy. Brothers and sister cows get it on if you don’t stop them. (The results aren’t quite as disastrous as in humans) An interesting side effect, the mother cows vaginas are sometimes too tight to squeeze the heads of the next generation babies out. Rancher assistance is required.

Humans aren’t generally mating with close relatives though. I suspect the results are a selection effect where somebody had to be damn sexy before you want to jump over racial lines.

Being more highly concentrated in a financier niche may have raised their overall IQ, but don’t Jews also have substantial talents in areas like art and literature? Would being in that niche have produced that type of population?

Or can we assume that having a generally high IQ means that Jews can do well in any g-correlated field, but that Jews have no selective advantage on top of what IQ would’ve provided?

Christie’s Brinkley’s daughter had a VERY good nose job.

Before the nose job…Yes She was The Genetic Loser

Bigtime…and that’s not getting into the emotional issues and how she tried to commit suicide over a blonde guy rejecting her (a nasty skinny blonde guy too)

Interracial children are Not On Average Better Looking Than Monoracial Children

If there parents are hot…the kids are hot…if the parents aren’t hot…the kids aren’t hot

I think it’s a downgrade…A hapa chick I know…both parents are hot…she’s hot…but Insanely Bow Legged despite have white legs…bow legged white people legs…weird

If you want your children to be hot, have a lot of of them…Look at the Duggars…Jessa came out all symmetrical and hot…

Hotness is about Facial Symmetry…Not much else…and facial symmetry is a genetic crap shoot

“I don’t know Steve. If you asked me to name the three biggest interracial celebrities that I could, off the top of my head, I would say: Derek Jeter, Tiger Woods, Barack Obama. They all have considerable talent aside from their looks, and, no homo, they aren’t particularly ugly.”

I have seen a lot of women refer to Tiger Woods as being ugly, both in real life and on internet discussion boards.

The reason he has a lot of female mistresses is because he is the most famous golf player in the world with a net worth of about $600 million dollars, not because he is in the same league as Denzel Washington in the looks department.

Having lots of money and fame means non handsome men like Larry The Cable Guy and Howard Stern can punch above their weight in the dating market.

Isn’t it ‘heightist’ to say being taller is better than being short?

Time for Dwarfs and midgets to have Tiny Pride Parade.

However, truth be told, most interracial people *do* end up looking pretty good.

A manifest falsehood.

Mostly small artisans and craftsmen.

Meet the Cherokee Native American version of Rachel Dolezal.

http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2015/06/30/meet-the-native-american-rachel-dolezal.html

Before I clicked on the article, I thought it was going to be about Elizabeth Warren. Anyways this story is getting extremely little coverage compared to the media hoopla Rachel Dolezal received because in the U.S it is way more common for White people to claim Native American ancestry than it is for White people to claim Sub Saharan African ancestry. America has become so numb to White people claiming to be Amerindians, we have become used to it by now that the shock factor is not there like it is with Rachel Dolezal.

Mexicans inherited all of the weaknesses of being a Mongoloid/Caucasoid mix and none of the strengths.

Amerind and Caucasoid mix.

Mostly small artisans and craftsmen.

Thanks.I knew that weren’t primarily farmers, but I couldn’t quite recall how their profile differed from the Ashkenazim.

The best basketball players and the best mathematicians per capita seem to be black Americans and Ashkenazim, both of whom are sort of hybrid populations. American blacks have something like 20% white admixture on average, and they’re better at basketball than pure whites or pure blacks from Africa.

Ashkenazi Jews are not “very racially mixed.” And it’s still up in the air how much European mixture they have — could be anywhere from ~0 to ~3/4ths. We won’t know for sure until a good amount of ancient DNA is sampled from the Levant

We’ve got studies right now that say that the Ashkenazim are basically a 50/50 split between European and Middle Eastern:

I’m looking at abstracts on Ashkenazi genetics from ASHG 2013 and SMBE 2014 – by the same group, with Shai Carmi as the lead author. They did 128 whole genomes, 50x deep.

They concluded Ashkenazi Jews were about 50% Middle Eastern and 50% European. In the 2013 abstract, they were pretty specific: they estimated the European ancestry fraction at 55% , plus or minus 2%. ( In our book, we had a crude estimate of about 40% European ancestry.) They estimated the split between Europeans and Middle Easterners at about 9000 BC: which sounds about the right date for the entry of the Sardinian-like farmers. From other data (mtDNA) , and from the fact that you see almost zero WHG or ANE in Ashkenazi autosomal genes, one can conclude that the European admixture was mostly Italian, with some southern French. Very little German or Slavic – by that time serious endogamy had set in..

Not sure why it’s terribly important exactly what the European/Middle Eastern mix in Ashkenazis might be.

It is pretty plausible that virtually everything distinctive about them as a population was evolved since the mixture in the Roman Empire.

Mixed-race relationships are making us taller and smarter:

That’s what they have to say.

The study is here…
Extended Data Table 1: Continental ancestry of cohorts participating in each trait study.”

It looks like none of the participants are “mixed race”.

“Given the low levels of genome-wide homozygosity prevalent in most human populations, information is required on very large numbers of people to provide sufficient power.
…
In each case, increased homozygosity was associated with decreased trait value, equivalent to the offspring of first cousins being 1.2 cm shorter and having 10 months’ less education. Similar effect sizes were found across four continental groups and populations with different degrees of genome-wide homozygosity, providing evidence that homozygosity, rather than confounding, directly contributes to phenotypic variance.”

> Or can we assume that having a generally high IQ means that Jews can do well in any g-correlated field, but that Jews have no selective advantage on top of what IQ would’ve provided?

Ashkenazi Jews have higher achievement levels than East Asians despite about equal IQs. For example Israel, despite only being partially Ashkenazi, has now passed Japan in GDP per capita.

Being more highly concentrated in a financier niche may have raised their overall IQ, but don’t Jews also have substantial talents in areas like art and literature?

Literature, sure: Bellow, Roth, Kafka, etc

Art is a bit iffier.Jewish prohibitions on images prevented strong traditions in sculpture or painting from emerging.Offhand, I can’t think of too many highly regarded Jewish painters.Modigliani, a few others, maybe

Would being in that niche have produced that type of population?

Or can we assume that having a generally high IQ means that Jews can do well in any g-correlated field, but that Jews have no selective advantage on top of what IQ would’ve provided?

I think that you’re pretty safe in saying that high IQ is necessary for high achievement in art in literature.

As for why some groups excel in some areas but not others, that’s more difficult.Take the Angl0s, for example.Outstanding accomplishments in film, literature, physics, technology, astronomy, biology, etc.However, their accomplishments in music and painting are pretty meager when compared to what the Germans, Italians, and Dutch have done.

What type of niche were the Sephardim confined to?

Cochran has weighed in:

Mostly small artisans and craftsmen.

So, not agriculturalists/herdsmen (like the bulk of the Muslim population in West Asia-North Africa) but also not concentrated (like the Ashkenazi) in estate management, money-lending, tax-farming, etc,

I disagree. From these pictures (the natural ones, not photo shoots), she distinctly takes more after her father.

I do have a strong suspicion that there is a large repository of critical cognitive abilities that are effectively “dark matter”, because we have no good way of measuring them.

Just as an example, many of the best writers of comedy were not spectacular students, and seemed to have relatively little aptitude for hard cognitive work compared to, say, standard issue Ivy League students. Conversely, not many brilliant scientists and mathematicians — or even writers of other kinds of material — seem capable of the wit of the great writers of comedy.

Obviously, we can see differences at the ultimate output level from these different sorts of people, but we have no way of testing for these abilities independently, or predicting them in people. Nobody knows how these abilities match up with g, or how much independent of it they are.

Jews got a good helping of g, and of some of these other abilities as a population, but different individuals among them excel in different dimensions.

My guess is that there are some abilities they did not get in any abundance, though; they may even be worse than most on some of them.

Those guys are generally too Beta to win White women. Asian women are more tolerant, still don’t like it, of beta males. White women are edging into Black women territory in hatred of beta males.

That’s my thesis. Not original either… someone else said much the same in comments earlier… but I forget who it was.

Attractive people interracially marrying or having children together will produce more attractive children than would be predicted, but this isn’t necessarily the default (both sides being attractive) for such unions.

There’s the issue of dominant vs recessive genes & genetic suicide vs preservation.

The mixed race of Mexico and Brazil don’t seem very exceptional. Racial mixture produces children that are somewhat half-way between the parents. If one parent comes from a superior population and the other one an inferior one, the next generation will likely not be exceptional.

Classic example of when a masculine man has an ogre daughter. Some families have genetics that favor the men and hurt the women. Other families have genetics that favor the women and hurt the men.

Blonde hair blue-eyed women have traditionally been seen as the pinnacle of beauty. They would not exist with interracial dating.

I am german/swiss descent, my wife is northern asian. I am 6’4″, wife is 5’7″. Both our kids are tall, strong and better looking than either of us. Seem to have received the best features from both. My daughter, in particular, is constantly praised for her looks. Both are smart as hell too, maybe smarter than either of us.

This proves nothing, of course. But a dad can brag anonymously on the internet

We live in an area that where maybe 15% of the kids are white-asian mixed. High income, highly competitive area. The kids seem to be better looking than average. The girls/women often look Russian, which makes some sense, actually.

I’m aware of the papers. The problem is that they rely on using modern populations as proxies for ancient ones. Lots is being rewritten with the very recent explosion of ancient DNA data — I wouldn’t be surprised at some unexpected results once we have samples from the middle east.

Personally, fwiw, I do think Ashkenazis have “European” mixture. I just think it’s much less than the ~55% that’s been suggested. I respect Dr. Cochran a lot and enjoy his writing tremendously, but in this case I must disagree. Anyways we should find out soon enough.

The team found that greater genetic diversity is linked to increased height

Stupid, stupid, stupid.

There’s no such thing as genetic diversity within a person, except perhaps for allelic heterozygosity, and they sure as hell aren’t talking about that.

No evidence that there was a bottleneck, but lots of evidence of extreme inbreeding in the Ashkenazi community over a period of many centuries. The “bottleneck” theory is just a lame attempt to divert attention from the inbreeding and the resulting plethora of genetic diseases in Ashkenazi…..In my direct experience, there are a huge number of children affected by such unfortunate conditions in our area, which has a very substantial Ashkenazi population.

Actually, in general Mongoloid groups such as Orientals and Eskimo groups have wider pelvises than Caucasians.

Depends on which Asian women. The study on C-sections that’s frequently cited included East Asians, Southeast Asians, South Asians such as Indians, and Pacific Islanders under the Asian group. East Asian babies tend to have larger cranium size at birth than European babies. I imagine the hybrids have intermediate cranium size and consequently may be easier births for East Asian mothers.

Yes, indeed. People are very confused (or ignorant) about the relationship between baby cranium size differences and pelvic widths of mothers by race. Most people assume that because black women have a lot of fat on their hips that they have the widest pelvis. That just ain’t so.

Perhaps many were artisans and craftsmen. But many were also leading intellectuals, merchants, etc. Their achievements and positions in Andalusian Spain speak for themselves. And before you say “it’s easy to compete against Muslims and Spaniards” — look at Amsterdam in the 1600s. The city probably had the highest concentration of able individuals in the world at that time and they more than held their own. Also, 12 Nobels ain’t bad.

I’m skeptical of some of the reported average IQs I’ve seen discussed — around 100 or so. It just doesn’t jive with observed reality. I’d guess it’s a few points higher.

I’m a fan of The Office and for a long time I was convinced Rashida Jones was a white chick who just had a dark tan.

There is even a scene where Micheal Scott makes a joke about not knowing what race she belongs to.

Mexicans inherited all of the weaknesses of being a Mongoloid/Caucasoid mix and none of the strengths.

Amerinds are not Mongoloids: http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2013/11/131120-science-native-american-people-migration-siberia-genetics/

DNA from the remains revealed genes found today in western Eurasians in the Middle East and Europe, as well as other aspects unique to Native Americans, but no evidence of any relation to modern East Asians.

That’s arguable for intellectual fields. The list of eminent Jewish intellectuals is much more robust than the list of eminent half-Jewish intellectuals.

Ashkenazi Jews have been mixing with the Near Eastern Jews in Israel for the past 60 years. That seems to be a hybridization that is working. Jerry Seinfeld is mix of Syrian Jewish and Austrian Jewish. This woman is a mix as well, the new Israeli justice minister: Ayelet Shaked. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayelet_Shaked.

I have to agree with you. Steve was acting very juvenile to comment on Rain’s appearance. She looks like her father, but that should not surprise anyone who believes that we inherit our genes from our parents. She has done nothing to deserve to be held up to ridicule. Fratty behavior. Shame, shame, Steve.

I keep wondering about autism and inter-racial marriage but my basis is purely anecdotal. I seem to have come across an above average number of acquaintances with some inter-racial characteristics (themselves or their parents) who produced a higher than average cohort of autistic children.

Having lots of money and fame means non handsome men like Larry The Cable Guy and Howard Stern can punch above their weight in the dating market.

Larry the Cable Guy and Howard Stern are objectively unattractive. Tiger Woods is not. Would he have hundreds (thousands?) of mistresses if he wasn’t an elite athlete and a near-billionaire? No, almost certainly not. But do you really look at Tiger woods and think, “That guy fell out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down”?

It’s always funny when anti-whites declare “Mixed race people are genetically superior”, because that would imply that mulattoes are genetically superior to full-blooded Negroes, something that they would never admit.

You can’t have it both ways. You can’t claim that mixed race people are more intelligent, and then turn around and say that race and intelligence aren’t related.

“Kidada never wanted to be white….” Riiiiight! “Kidada…acted out…tomboy…(was asked to leave) the Buckley school…Rashida liked wearing dresses”. Wow just wow.Darn the beautiful white woman who put those genes into the Jewish race and thence into the black.

Derek Jeter is funny looking.

“Amerinds are not Mongoloids:”

Yes they are Mongoloids. Amerindians are certainly not Caucasoids. That is why there are sometimes phenotype overlap between pure Amerindians and Southeast Asians but ZERO phenotype overlap between pure Amerindians and White people.

“Amerind and Caucasoid mix.”

In your opinion where do Amerindians racially fall in the 3 race theory of Mongoloid, Caucasoid, and Negroid?

Why do many Amerindians have Chino looking eyes? Especially among Amerindians in places like Mexico, Guatemala, Peru, and the Amazon for example.

She does have to worry. Status doesn’t make girls more attractive to men.

Your social life, and that of your children, will be managed by your wife. Your wife’s status is extremely important when it comes to marriage.

DNA from the remains revealed genes found today in western Eurasians in the Middle East and Europe, as well as other aspects unique to Native Americans, but no evidence of any relation to modern East Asians.

Yeah, those words appear in the article, but the claim is stupid on its face since a monkey or a goat is related to modern East Asians if you don’t specify some kind of standard of relatedness. And the rest of the article plainly contradicts your quote anyway:

“Although we know that North Americans are related to East Asians, it’s striking that no contemporary East Asian populations really resemble Native Americans,” he said.

Can it get any plainer than that?

Amerindians are Mongoloids, just as Middle Easterners and South Asians are Caucasoids. Mongoloid, Caucasoid, and Negroid are broad categories.

It’s the other way round – Steve gave her as an example of a mixed-race child turning out unattractive.

A cursory spot check indicates that half-Jews are at least as successful, if not more so than full Jews. Obviously there’s a lot of selection affects here. And outbreeding Jews probably are mating with the upper half of the gentile bell curve. Still even with that, regression to the lower gentile mean should disadvantage half-Ashkenazi offspring. The most plausible explanation is that hybrid vigor is counteracting this effect.

The more plausible explanation is that they have two networks of ethnic nepotism.

Having lots of money and fame means non handsome men like Larry The Cable Guy and Howard Stern can punch above their weight in the dating market.

For what it’s worth, Larry is a Whitney. That can’t hurt, either.

I’m aware that they filled a niche left open by Christianity’s anti-usury stance. But weren’t there plenty of other things they could do too? Why would they be confined to money-oriented professions in general?

…in the U.S it is way more common for White people to claim Native American ancestry than it is for White people to claim Sub Saharan African ancestry.

No doubt in some cases they were claiming Native American ancestry to hide Sub-Saharan African ancestry.

The best basketball players and mathematicians per capita are black Americans and Ashkenazi Jews. They have mixed origins and outperform their ancestral stocks. Black Americans outperform both West Africans and Europeans in basketball, and Ashkenazi Jews outperform other Jews and Europeans in mathematics.

Steve,

Have you noticed how biracials tend to have elevated mental health problems? From what I’ve
observed of public and private individuals biracial people (either white and Black or White and Asian hybrids) suffer from depression, schizophrenia, and bipolar more often than average. Any relevant studies in the literature? anybody?

Art is a bit iffier.Jewish prohibitions on images prevented strong traditions in sculpture or painting from emerging

The success of Gehry and Libeskind in architecture can be explained more by a collapse in goyish taste.

However, their accomplishments in music and painting are pretty meager when compared to what the Germans, Italians, and Dutch have done.

Dutch music? Focus? Golden Earring? Tee Set? Shocking Blue!

Nobody approaches the Italians and Germans (/Austrians) in music. But the English have a decent record in folk ditties, noëls, and rock-and-roll. In America, WASPs beat everyone but Jews in Tin Pan Alley.

Englishmen excelled in landscapes, and America had the Hudson River and Boston Schools, so Anglo-Saxons were hardly shut out in painting.

Maybe they wanted those professions?

Wait a minute, what? Intelligence is caused by genes and can be inherited?

Are they multi-racial supremacists? Do they advocate eugenics by forced racial intermarriage?

Is the SPLC going to list the Daily Mail as a Nazi website now?

People are rallying around Trump because he is doubling down. Good for him.

BTW, hybrid vigor is a one shot thing. Children of hybrids don’t have inherit it. You need to keep two purebred lines and cross them.

Yeah, those words appear in the article, but the claim is stupid on its face since a monkey or a goat is related to modern East Asians if you don’t specify some kind of standard of relatedness. And the rest of the article plainly contradicts your quote anyway

Willerslev believes the discovery provides simpler and more likely explanations to long-standing controversies related to the peopling of the Americas.

“Although we know that North Americans are related to East Asians, it’s striking that no contemporary East Asian populations really resemble Native Americans,” he said.

“It’s not like you can say that they are really closely related to Japanese, Chinese, or Koreans, so there seems to be something missing. But this result makes a lot of sense regarding why they don’t fit so well genetically with contemporary East Asians—because one-third of their genome is derived from another population.”

The findings could also allow reinterpretation of archaeological and anthropological evidence, like the famed Kennewick Man, whose remains don’t look much like modern-day Native American or East Asian populations, according to some interpretations.

“Maybe, if he looks like something else, it’s because a third of his ancestry isn’t coming from East Asia but from something like the western Eurasians.” (Read about history’s great migration mysteries.)

Twin and adoption studies prove that “ethnic nepotism” accounts for a de minimis proportion of economic success. Otherwise we would see significant statistical relationships for shared environment. Almost all explainable Jewish success, like virtually any success in modern society, is genetically attributable.

“Have you noticed how biracials tend to have elevated mental health problems? From what I’ve
observed of public and private individuals biracial people (either white and Black or White and Asian hybrids) suffer from depression, schizophrenia, and bipolar more often than average.”

No.

“Although we know that North Americans are related to East Asians, it’s striking that no contemporary East Asian populations really resemble Native Americans,” he said.”

I dated a Japanese girl in New Mexico for a few years a decade ago, she said that Indians approached her all of the time, inquiring as to which tribe she was from.

BTW:

Why do you guys get off on insulting women so much? Not a good look.

I’m not sure about that. A lot of intelligent people are hilariously funny, including professors (though not all). One would have to either have a high appetite for risk or be so many standard deviations to the right on the comedy bell curve that it is really not that risky. Or kind of fall into it while in college and excel.

Amerindians are Mongoloids, just as Middle Easterners and South Asians are Caucasoids. Mongoloid, Caucasoid, and Negroid are broad categories.

But they aren’t the only racial categories because they do a poor job of categorizing some populations. Modern South Asians are not Caucasoids but are recent mixtures of several groups while Amerindians are not Mongoloids but people of ancient mixed origins (West and East Eurasians) with a different evolutionary path than modern East Asians.

It would be more accurate to use terms like East Asian, Western European (or just European), and sub-Saharan African. People in South Asia, Amerinds, and Australian aborigines don’t fit neatly into the three “-oids” above.

And below that layer, As Razib Khan is fond of writing, “Caucasoids, Mongoloids, and Negroids” are themselves hybrid populations. All major modern human population groups are.

“No doubt in some cases they were claiming Native American ancestry to hide Sub-Saharan African ancestry.”

Usually so-called “Blacks” who passed for White during Jim Crow claimed to be some type of Mediterranean White to explain their swarthyness like George Herriman who passed as a Greek man and Gregory Howard Williams “Black” father who passed as an Italian man.

When you cross two cows of different breeds you get a lot of good things. This is an F1 cross. The bad recessives of each are held back by the good dominants of the other. Once you breed F1s with each other, however, you get a huge amount of randomness because each F1 has the recessives from two breeds to draw from. You can get all sorts of genes showing up, easy to see in the looks department. When you bring in new bulls they come from pure lines to keep those recessives under control.

You can breed an F1 with an F1 of two different lines. You would get even more hybrid vigor. In a different species, this is roughly how industrial chickens are bred to grow so fast or lay so much. But the product of that would be even more random. It is easy enough to order some hybrid meat chickens or egg chickens for yourself and breed them if you want to see how it works.

Not sure how well this applies to humans, which are selected in different ways. But there might be something in there for you.

I suspect you’re probably on to something, Steve, about how kids who are the product of racial mixing are liable to be genetic lottery winners in the looks department. I know anecdote isn’t data, but that lines up with my experience.

I have four female cousins who are mixed race. Three of them are average, looks-wise, but the fourth is absolutely STUNNING. She’s so good-looking that it’s hard for me to believe she actually shares my DNA!

She was easily elected homecoming queen AND prom queen at her mostly-white high school. She has the perfect blend of traditional white American cheerleader features with a seasoning of “exotic” ethnic characteristics — not unlike Rashida Jones, actually.

That seems to be a pattern with the mixed-race (black/white) folks I’ve encountered over the years, actually: about three quarters of them are unremarkable, looks-wise, but a lucky fourth seem to hit the jackpot and end up with the most prized physical features of both races.

I just Googled her, and she basically looks like a younger Christie Brinkley, with darker coloured hair. Not everyone finds Nordic-looking women to be our innate aesthetic superiors. I mean, its a popular choice, to be sure, but to suggest Brinkley’s daughter is a “big genetic loser,” based on little more than her having nearly-black hair, seems a tad ridiculous. I find her much more appealing than her mother. And yet, nearly all her individually identifiable facial features, clearly come her mother’s side of the family.

You are… delusional.

What comes out depends on what goes in. Some of those Amerind ancestors of the current Mexican population were people who had an insatiable enthusiasm for ripping out the hearts of still living captives on a daily basis. Part of some ‘religion’ of theirs. What can you expect from people like that?

There are a few that are very attractive , and a fair number of them are unremarkable, but for every one of them that could be considered exceptionally attractive there are at least as many-and I believe probably two or three times as many just from what I saw from working in NYC and Atlanta for the relatively brief times I worked in those cities-who can only be described as profoundly hideous. I saw some truly repulsive specimens. Isn’t the possibility that such a relationship could produce a person, through no fault of his or her own, who would be doomed to such an existence a valid factor to use in judging the correctness or incorrectness of starting such a relationship?
