“The Historical Problematization of “Mixed Race” In Psychological and Human -Scientific Discourses” by Thomas Teo. Author actually quotes lots of resources from Adolf Hitler, the leader of the Nazi Third Reich, which shows the historical problematization of " Mixed Race."
In Hitler's opinion, " Mixed race" is fighting against the nature, and he used the term " species" when he talked about other races. He provides the theoretical basis for the Nazi genocide.
Actually, the elimination of Jews is not only because of the mutual hatred on Jews, it was because of the economic issues. Before world war II, Nazi party needs financial support for their invasion, and most of the resources were handle by Jews, so the Nazi party needed a excuse to acquire these resources.
My point is the historical problematization of " Mixed race" is not only about the race problem, its more about the economic, social problems behind it.
Similar example was the improvement of female social status. During world war II, the battle field required a huge amount of labor to join, and most of the males were go to the War, so females started to do their job in factories and started to own their own career. When the war ended, they refused to go back, so if we want to discuss the historical problematization of " mixed race.", we have to understand the historical background and economic, social status behind it.
