Why are white genes so weak when having interracial kids?

Question

So if the kids is mixed with black and white = we say the kids black If the kids mixed white and Latino we say the kids= Hispanic If we the kid is mixed Asian and white = we say the kids Asian

Well, being Asian and my hubby is white, we have three kids. They could all pass for white or Asian. The kids tends to identify as Asian for very practical purpose. They believe, and I think rightfully so, that they gain advantage for identifying as a minority. My husband, who is white has said he has zero issue with them identifying either way. That its purely their choice. It has nothing to do with their genetics, its a conscious choice they are making.

It's not that the genes are weak it's just that the in between often looks closer to the other parent than the white parent, ex. monolid eyes, darker skin, thick curly hair-the middle ground is closer visually to the one parent vs the white parent.
I think my sister and I are a perfect mix of my mom and dad, we look like both in the face, but weirdly we don't really look black or white, like hispanic or middle eastern.

The other genes are just more dominant compared to the 'recessive white gene' it would be the same. concept in eye colour and how blue is recessive compared to a dominate brown

Most Latinos are white. Kids with Black and White parents are biracial usually with a mix of African and Caucasian features and often very light brown skin. As for people who are half Asian half white I can never quite tell because sometimes they look caussian but other times look Asian. People are too hung up on race anyway.

I think that you're misunderstanding what's going on here. White cultures uniformly subscribe to the "one drop" rule so of course white + non-white = non-white. It's not that those non-white genes are "stronger", it's that if a person carries any non-white traits, they are immediately considered to be the other race.

They are not "weak" that makes no sense. First and foremost the pigmentations genes of whites are actually more recent mutations and as such are recessive. That means they will tend to be less prominent. That has nothing to do with "white genes' as their are no such thing as "white genes".

Some genes are recessive and some genes are dominant. There's no such thing as genetic "weakness".

It's not that the White genes are weaker, it's that being a minority is seen as "cool" and it brings more benefits.

When you put syrup in milk, it's chocolate milk, not just milk. Color was added.

There are not white genes. Race is not a designation in biology. What you are identifying is a social construct that "even one drop" of something "not white" makes you "inferior".

it's who you identify with, it's not who has the strongest genes

Well let's see brown eyes overtake blue Dark skin over takes light It's the way the world works

Anonymous · Answer

Evolution doesn't know if they need the dark skin or not so it generally gives it to be on the safe side. I think that's the general idea behind recessive genes
