is the most beautiful people made up of multiple races, with a vast genetic make-up that reduces the risk of diseases found in any particular region, race or ethnicity. (Before you go on a tirade, obviously, this is just my humble opinion.)
Why is it so many people find racially mixed children and adults the most beautiful in the world? I think it’s the bit of familiar with the bit of exotic all mixed in together in a way that looks simply stunning. Think Halle Berry, Tiger Woods and Mariah Carey. I don’t think of them as mixed – just simply beautiful people with a bit of je ne sais quoi.
According to Wikipedia, Canada’s population is 3% multi-racial. In my small world alone, I know of 11 mixed kids and that’s soley based on my ability to think, name and count whoever I can think of in 60 seconds or less. (Note that number went from 6 to 11 in the amount of time it took me to write this post). In my son’s class alone, 10% are mixed.
I can’t wait to see more and more mixed, beautiful people emerge over the next few decades. Maybe I’ll even find a few more on my doorstep befriending my little guy.

I have never been to Canada so I can not even begin to comment on what it is like over there, but I know that it is very regional here in the UK.
I grew up in quite a big city in the south of England, and it was very mixed, now I live up north it is far less common and the communities are far more insular than I am used to.
I had one short lived mixed relationship, and thought nothing of it at the time, retrospectively I am amazed how well my parents responded. Alas I don’t feel I am seeing the same increase in mixed race children that you are experiencing.
I just found your blog through a mutual friend, and I particularly like this post.
