Neue Forschungsergebnisse liefern Hinweise darauf, dass biraciale Menschen positiver gesehen werden als ihre monoracialen Kollegen, möglicherweise aufgrund der historischen und genetischen Implikationen ihrer Abstammung.

From the article: This [study](https://doi.org/10.1177/14747049241238623) conducted in both the United States and China found that biracial individuals were perceived as more attractive, trustworthy, intelligent, and likely to be successful than others, challenging existing notions of racial bias and favoritism.

The motivation behind this study stems from a growing interest in interracial relationships and their societal impacts. Despite a historical backdrop of racial discrimination, the number of interracial marriages has been on the rise, suggesting a decrease in opposition to such unions. The researchers aimed to understand whether biracial people are viewed through the lens of social bias or if their mixed heritage might convey positive social cues.

“Interracial social interactions and biracial marriage are increasingly important issues to study. I grew up with a biracial friend. While others were curious about his foreign origin, he gained popularity partly due to his biracial looks,” said study author X.T. (Xiao-Tian) Wang, a professor and the director of the Applied Psychology program at the Chinese University of Hong Kong.
