08/18/2008: "Biracial Asian-Americans Twice As Likely To Have Psychological Disorders"

A new study of Chinese-Caucasian, Filipino-Caucasian, Japanese-Caucasian and Vietnamese-Caucasian individuals concludes that biracial Asian Americans are twice as likely as monoracial Asian Americans to be diagnosed with a psychological disorder.

"Up to 2.4 percent of the U.S. population self-identifies as mixed race, and most of these individuals describe themselves as biracial," said Nolan Zane, a professor of psychology and Asian American studies at UC Davis. "We cannot underestimate the importance of understanding the social, psychological and experiential differences that may increase the likelihood of psychological disorders among this fast-growing segment of the population."

[ The politically correct view is that the more people are racially mixed the better. Here is just one of the many reasons why that view is wrong. People should keep to their own ethnicity if they want their descendants to have a promising future. ]
