be mixed ( like from several different countries e.g half black, half white) or to be pure something ( like Irish, for example) and why?

As an American, I am at least 12 different nationalities that I KNOW of. There are probably more. They are all white European, but I can't even comprehend identifying with any of them because I have never lived there. I am an American through and through-- a true melting pot.
So, for me, mixed or pure really makes no difference. It doesn't change who you are as a person and that's what I care about.

I have to think that your question contains a hidden assumption (or 2) which may tend to create some suffering.
The accident of your genetic/nationaltic heritage does not create a "value-scale" with which you can do a sort of 'judgement' to tilt a scale-balance to the betterment of one and the detriment of another.
Perhaps more important is the manner in which you deal with the world and the people around you. There seems to be a self-centeredness here (I've done the same thing before myself, but it never seems to lead to peace of mind)
Consider that others have no choice in *their* own makeup .... would it make them feel ok to be put into one category or another? We all seem to share the same set of feelings and that which hurts others also hurts me.
Maybe it would "be better" not to get hung up on making this judgement which your question suggests.
just my opinion :)
peace

Mixed because that way you can see each culture from the perspective of an insider and an outsider and have a better understanding of both.

It really doesn't matter as long as you are happy and someone loves you. Being several different things only makes you that much more unique!

You talk as if you actually have a "choice" in the matter of who you are? I personally don't see it as being better than or not better than. We are who we are by design. It's not like we're made in a factory somewhere. We don't get to pick and choose who are parents are let alone our race. Just be glad that you are alive and well. :)

It doesn't matter really. If everyone turns their hands over... we all have the same color palms.
