Mixed kids are the cutest

Is it "racist" to say "Mixed kids are the cutest!"?
My niece's uncle just had a baby with his wife. He's Laotian and she's white. On his Facebook status he said that it's the truth that MIXED kids are the best looking and the cutest. Of course this is biased but don't you think that is kind of insulting to people with non-mixed babies?
I know it'd be more of an issue if people said "White babies are the cutest!" or "Black babies are the best!" But everyone liked his status about mixed kids

I think he's just proud of the baby he made... I don't see it as racist or insulting.

Response by poster: But I mean, if I were to say "Asian babies are the best" I think it sounds insulting and bad to others. I'm trying to say why saying "mixed" is the best can get away with it?
