If an Asian or black woman said, 'I want to marry a white man because I think mixed kids look better.'
(this is something my sister actually said).
Do you think this is a racist thing to say?
I think it's at least somewhat racist, since it's suggesting one race, albeit not your own, is superior...but then again, you could say thinking whites look better is just an opinion, or a preference, but it's at least a grey area, would you agree?
I see nothing wrong with intermarrying, but I'm just thinking about the reasoning behind it.
I think it is stupid and untrue.
It is stupid because I believe everyone regardless of what shade they are , whether very black, brown, tan or white can be beautiful.. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. There is also a beauty from within that makes the outside more beautiful.
i voted 'no' because i look at it as a subtle comment about genetics and the more unalike the gene pool of the parents the better the 'mix'. My sister, who is blond and very fair is married to a 1st-generation mexican american, made the same comment at some point about the kids they would have together. Granted both boys are unnaturally good looking but until they were about 6 months old they were literally the ugliest babies we'd ever seen. Little human troll dolls. We still loved them though.

The reasoning behind it?????????????????????????????????????????????
How about LOVE being the reason behind it. What a weird thing to wonder about. Do you think somehow that a visable minority is less lovable somehow? You question would lead one to believe that is indeed what you must think.
Which proves that the woman should be focusing on intelligence genes and not looks, but she's probably too stupid to realize that.
I agree with you, but think most of all people should be praying that their child comes out healthy. Everything else should be secondary, but that's just my opinion..
In reply to the OP question, yes it is a racist thing to say. Racism meaning believing one race is superior over another. Being tall, having big boobs, is not being racist; but to say my kids will be better looking if I marry ----------(insert any race) like it or not, is a racist opinion. Good looking people come from all sources whether mixed or not. However, if I had married a green eyed mexican man.......
