Because the data on interracial reproduction are only valid in the context of postzygotic isolation if you can adjust for all discriminatory, familial and other socioeconomic factors.

Furthermore, your anecdotal evidence of increased difficulty of interracial births is correctly interpreted as a maternal effect–not as F2/epistatic breakdown–and is inconsistent with the timeline of divergence of human “races” and the evolution of prezygotic isolation mechanisms due to the pressures of postzygotic selective pressures. If interracial breeding really had such a high postzygotic expense, I think we’d have speciated by now.

Moreover, I present as anecdotal counterevidence my white cousin and his Korean wife, who just popped out spawnling #5.

i have been you and lived you
your fluttering grace down to a melancholic drowse
your arch crafted sideways glances
your public private tragedies

i have been that and am that

and yes i despise (me) you
not for being what i have been
not for being what you are
but for refusing to see what you can be, will be, will want
as if you know who and how you will become
how and who will become you
as if you were the pinnacle not of what you are and have been
but as well that which you will ever be

and that delicate fluttery
buttery
battery
flattery
spread so fine over all your words
of all your everyday cluttery tragedies
that is what you will see later and laugh

if you ever laugh at yourself

if i know you at all.
