> I do not deny that these are good results. The world of art and great literature that comes from the mixture of blood, the improvement and ennoblement of inferior races—all these are wonders for which we must needs be thankful. The small have been raised. Unfortunately, the great have been lowered by the same process; and this is an evil that nothing can balance or repair. Since I am putting together the advantages of racial mixtures, I will also add that to them is due the refinement of manners and beliefs, and especially the tempering of passion and desire. But these are merely transitory benefits, and if I recognize that the mulatto, who may become a lawyer, a doctor, or a business man, is worth more than his negro grandfather, who was absolutely savage, and fit for nothing, I must also confess that the Brahmans of primitive India, the heroes of the Iliad and the Shahnameh, the warriors of Scandinavia—the glorious shades of noble races that have disappeared—give us a higher and more brilliant idea of humanity, and were more active, intelligent, and trusty instruments of civilization and grandeur than the peoples, hybrid a hundred times over, of the present day. And the blood even of these was no longer pure.
Post books about this feel.

Greatest Russian poet: Pushkin, 1/8 black.
Greatest Portuguese prose writer: Antônio Vieira, apparently 1/16 black.
Most popular French novelist: Dumas, 1/4 black. His son was a famous writer too.
Thomas Mann too was mixed-race. His mother was a Brazilian castiza.
Considering the very small number of blacks and Amerindians in Europe, their descendants were disproportionally represented in the arts, it seems.

I think it has nothing to do with biology, and more with the fact that those who are slightly different tend to adapt themselves well to the surrounding culture, but not fully, and thus feel a stronger desire to "assert themselves". It may also be that their status as "different" means that they feel freer to experiment with more things in their writings, or that it just naturally makes them more different from their contemporaries. Mann said his Brazilian blood was a very important influence in his writing.

> "Now also with the same blade I searched the heart of one sprung from an illustrious line, and plunged the steel deep in his breast. He was a king's son, of illustrious ancestry, of a noble nature, and shone with the brightness of youth. The mailed metal could not avail him, nor his sword, nor the smooth target-boss; so keen was the force of my steel, it knew not how to be stayed by obstacles.
> Where, then, are the captains of the Goths, and the soldiery of Hiartuar? Let them come, and pay for their might with their life-blood. Who can cast, who whirl the lance, save scions of kings? War springs from the nobly born: famous pedigrees are the makers of war. For the perilous deeds which chiefs attempt are not to be done by the ventures of common men. Renowned nobles are passing away. Lo! Greatest Rolf, thy great ones have fallen, thy holy line is vanishing. No dim and lowly race, no low-born dead, no base souls are Pluto's prey, but he weaves the dooms of the mighty, and fills Phlegethon with noble shapes.”

Richard Wagner (PBUH) turned against race/eugenic obsessed chuds like Gobineau and Nietzsche because they were talentless pseudo-intellectuals fueled by resentment.
