Confirmation Bias is too strong for me not to post

Mentally unstable half black half white kid threatening suicide by cop. Single white mom. And Jewish lawyers suing the cops for improper use of force and civil rights violation. Even though the cop who shot him literally cried in sadness that he had to shoot the kid who was going for a gun.

That kid never should have been born.

There's no way to tell what mixed kids will end up this way. The majority of them are stable. It's not like you can ban race mixing everywhere anyway. It has always happened and will continue to happen.

The majority of them are stable.

Are they, though? Just because they aren't going out and wreaking havoc en masse doesn't mean that they are 'stable.' Many live quiet lives of self loathing and desperation.

Yes, the majority is stable, as in they don't have depression or any other disorder:

Zane and his co-investigator, UC Davis psychology graduate student Lauren Berger, found that 34 percent of biracial individuals in a national survey had been diagnosed with a psychological disorder, such as anxiety, depression or substance abuse, versus 17 percent of monoracial individuals.

The University of California, Davis? Thats what your using to prove that mixed race individuals aren't at substantially greater risk of depression?

    I believe individuals should choose for themselves. It shouldn't be encouraged nor discouraged.
