      It's not that unique. Basically every mix of asian and white produces a dark haired, dark eyed person, who looks mostly causcasian with caucasian features/jawlines but has eyes that are a bit off and they usually don't grow as tall. Another example of outbreeding depression and mostly the unwanted genes being passed down. It's an improvement for an asian because now someone in their family is tall, less round face with better jawline, and an epicanthic fold/bigger eyes than what they would have had. But that is a loss to a white family. That same person in that white family is shorter on average, has smaller eyes, black hair/black eyes etc.
      They could have easily had the same beautiful faces, just with more diversity of hair and eye color if they weren't mixed in the first place. And you'd be hardpressed to find anyone who thinks caucasian eye colors aren't more beautiful than just having black eyes.
      Ironically, "diversity" is killing the actual diversity of TRULY unique looks that humans have. And once we mix we cannot unmix. Mixing results in losing diversity in the long run, you aren't thinking in the long term, so to you this appears diverse because you aren't used to it. When in actuality it's nothing more than a path to the total and complete opposite. If everyone decided to mix tomorrow and continue that trend for the next 3 generations, you would wipe out gingers completely, blonde hair, blue eyes for the next generations. And that would be permanent. You cannot unmix. And you cannot ever mix your family line back to looking 99% white if there are no white people left to be with. This is not as much of an issue for blacks. When a black person has a mixed child, the child almost always looks black passing if not just straight up black. With asian/black, they just look like black people with slightly different/thinner eyes

    I was so shook when the Moroccan/Japanese guy came on because I’m also the same mix, and grew up in the UK too!! It’s such a random combination that I always get excited discovering others like me, and am so interested in how others navigated being from an Arabic or Muslim background + Japanese (both sides of my family were quite ignorant about the other, and I had my Moroccan cousins calling me the “Chinese cousin” 😅).
    Some challenges I faced when moving to Japan was that I felt my Japanese friends tried to “white-wash” me by calling me their English friend, when I got older and met new people in bars they’d be so brave in asking if Morocco was a dangerous country, or when I told them Morocco was located in North Africa they’d try to “compliment” me by saying that I look European and not African and say stuff like “you’re so pale though!” Like… I know they’ve probably never met a Moroccan person but the ignorance was mind blowing. So then I’d be like “Aw shit, Moroccan woman are so beautiful I hope I look more Moroccan and get darker skin when I grow up

      I have had a few moroccan students, neighbours and friends, male and female, arab and amazigh. I think, as a maghrebi being "white" is generally "better" and has advantages (depending where you live ofc). If you look too amazigh for example, people face dicrimination from "whiter" moroccans and other ethnic arabs. I had toy scold students for belittleing berber (amazigh) people, because where we live, they are foreigners themselves and face racism/islamophobia, therefore should know better. Also, as there are many criminal moroccan men in France or Netherlands, etc. in the public eye (in continental Europe at least) (white) people have negative stereotypes towards moroccan (men). I understand that you dont have these stereotyping problems in Japan, so be happy that they "just" see you as their "English (which is not that off tbf) or African friend" - - but your family members being ignorant towards each other is sad because Ive met some of the most sweet moroccan people and I wish many more had this kind positive experience with Moroccans.
