Usually they're even more accepted into jobs than an full asian. In London, I guess, but London is a metropolitan capital.
Plus, I know loads of mixed race children and they become pretty much whitewashed, [no offence, I'm pretty damn white washed myself] and blend into society.
Maybe in a country with a majority asian population with China and Japan, but even then, Mixed race kids are always looked with admiration, because most of them are quite good looking. In Japan, you got celebrities that at mixed race, like Erika Sawajiri, Shirota Yuu.

This definitely depends and which location and how.
I do agree that mixed races are admired, but not always.
I've got firneds with dual kids in Japan, I also have good full bllooded Japanese friends in Japan whose kids were scholled from young in the US.
I have good Japanese friends in Sydney, their kids, once again, full Japanese are thoroughly enjoying Aussie school and things could not be better.
I coached these two friends in my lesson and took them through the stages beofre and after with my parents helping in Sydney.
Hiromi has the surf, the kids have their school which they are loving, and the sky is the limit for Masahi and his road touring bike.
Relocation was a huge barrier for me with our son and quite possibly is what led to my marriage breakdown.
I figured, if we went to live in Japan and he wasn't accepted, It would have been up to me to play counsellor. I figured, should any child have to go through this.
I think if a mixed child in Japan has an outgoing personality able to tuck small things behind, he/she will be popular (looks considered), whereas in Thailand, it didn't matter.
I'm sure Hong Kong, China, Singapore, Malaysia, Phillipines and other's are just as sound, but Japan is a very unique place.
As an adult, I love Japan, I don't have to fit in, but I am past the learning stage and no longer need educating. It is very different for a small child going through schooling and their are huge barriers and hurdles.
