Your statement kind of implies that biracial babies are more attractive than those that are only one race . . . thus, half-white/half-black babies are more attractive than those with darker skin tones, kinkier hair and broader features. Ditto for half-Asian/half-white babies that may have lighter hair, less slanted eyes . . . I have a friend who says that most of her Asian-American friends consider those with one Asian parent and one white parent more attractive than those of full Asian blood because their features are somewhat "softened" and "Americanized." I know it can go the other way (biracial children are prettier than white children) but it's rarely taken to mean that.
I know that's probably not what you meant, but it gets into dangerous territory.
Plus the generalities ("all biracial babies . . . ") can lead into the whole ethnic fetishization thing.
