hell, this trend was observed in ancient rome, concerning slavery, which in rome wasn’t a division of color, but caste. i wish i could remember where i saw it so i could quote it, because my memory is really vague, but one of those historian guys observed that slaves captured in war were smart and spirited, but their captive-born children were dull, and suggested it was the captivity rather than the ancestry that caused it.
i keep thinking about that tribe of baboons where all the alpha males died from eating poison garbage and then the baby boy monkeys were taken care of by the lady monkeys and never got socialized to be aggressive so they all just live peacefully and groom eachother instead of fighting and killing eachother and its been generations of that, it only took 1 wipeout of the aggressive males to change the whole social order of the species i am crying they must be so much happier
