[xpyvdebo] Eugenicists need not worry

White supremacists and others advocating racial purity often use the argument that miscegenation will produce less beautiful people, e.g., blond/blonde hair is a recessive trait.  While true that they might be less beautiful in the eyes of the purists of the previous generation, each generation will discover its own beauty based on what they see around them.  They will look back and think so strange previous generations' notions of beauty.

This is a consequence of evolution: humans of different races are biologically compatible, and in order to stave off extinction, beauty is learned behavior, not constant from generation to generation.  In fact, inbreeding is bad for the species.
