Hybrid Vigor and the Kalergi Plan

The concept of "hybrid vigor" is introduced to explain the perceived physical advantages of biracial individuals, with the hosts suggesting that the media promotes interracial mixing as a form of "modern husbandry." They reference the Kalergi Plan and the pedestalization of figures like Kim Kardashian and Meghan Markle as examples of how the media shapes racial aesthetics and genetic outcomes.
