Things Japanese/Eurasians

by by Basil Hall Chamberlain

 

Eurasians. Half-castes are often called Eurasians, from their being half—Europeans and half-Asiatics or Asians. Eurasians usually resemble the Japanese mother rather than the European father, in accordance with the general physiological law whereby the fair parent gives way to the dark. The time that has elapsed since Japanese Eurasians began to be numerous is not long enough to inform us whether this mixed race will endure, or whether, as so often happens in such cases, it will die out in the third or fourth generation.
