THE MINGLING OF RACES 563 



in the hybrids. The broader noses of the Hawaiians also 

 reappear in the hybrids. The darker hair color, the wave 

 of the hair, the dark eye and skin of the Hawaiians are, 

 at least, partially dominant in the offspring. Much varia- 

 bihty is found among the hybrids of the second and later 

 generations. 



5. The Philippinos of Luzon. The Phihppino has come in 

 contact with the Chinese, Japanese, Negrito and Caucasian 

 and has in himself their united and commingled bloods. 

 The result is an over-emotional, weakly inhibited hybrid. 

 Transported to the Hawaiian Islands the Philippinos, though 

 constituting only about lo per cent of the population, 

 are responsible for over 42 per cent of the murders and 43 per 

 cent of the sex offenses. Porteus explains their impulsiveness, 

 noisy self-expression, alternating obstinacy and suggesti- 

 bleness, as due to a conflict of dissimilar temperaments. 

 Ordinary education is not suitable for them. "An education," 

 he states, "that stimulates an unattainable ambition is 

 cruelty." 



6. The Dutch East Indies. In the neighborhood of the 

 Straits extensive race crossing has taken place from early 

 times. The Chinese have penetrated into the East Indian 

 islands in great numbers. Their children are comely of form 

 and possess excellent manners. This, again, may be in 

 part due to the disciphne of the Chinese fathers. However, 

 hybrids with the Dutch are hkewise possessed of much 

 beauty and grace so that the traits of the native Malays 

 have contributed much to the high quahty of their offspring. 

 In Sumatra the hybrids between the Dutch and the native 

 women enjoyed the status of the Europeans and many of 

 these hybrids, after European training, have come to fill 

 offices of distinction in the islands. Thus, in the Dutch 

 East Indies, we find httle adverse effect on the progeny 

 resulting from hybridization. 



7. Eurasians. In India hybrids between native women and 

 European men have been produced in considerable numbers. 

 These are called Eurasians. While able to endure the chmate 

 of India better than the Europeans they are said to lack 

 in industry and perseverance. They are less useful as clerks 

 than the natives because they often decline to learn the
