Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, the Democrat candidate for U.S. Senate in Michigan who has never had a medical practice, is being roasted online now that his own research is unearthed, claiming “risks” for Arab mothers engaged in “interethnic mating.”
El-Sayed the primary author in the 2011 paper titled “Interethnic mating and risk for preterm birth among Arab-American mothers: Evidence from the Arab-American Birth Outcomes Study.”
It examined the negative result of “preterm birth” when people of differing races and ethnicities procreate.
His research focused on Arab mothers having children with non-Arab fathers.
Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed’s scientific research is…odd.
Arab mothers who engage in “interethnic mating” have worse birth outcomes than those who mate with Arab men?
Also: Genetics, black race, and interracial mating?
Why research this? WTF? https://t.co/9ZXCftqeuW

The research alleged: “Genetic factors have been the primary explanation posited for the association between interracial mating (black father, white mother) and risk of adverse birth outcomes. This explanation has built on the well-recognized observation that black race is associated with increased risk for PTB after adjusting for potential medical, psychosocial, and behavioral confounders.”
The study said “interethnic mating was associated with higher risk for PTB and late PTB among Arab-Americans, a growing ethnic group” while indicating “studies about the birth outcomes of Hispanic interethnic couples are needed.”
National Republican Senatorial Committee Communications Director Joanna Rodriguez told the Post Millennial regarding El-Sayed’s research: “It’s ironic that a radical Muslim with documented ties to designated terrorist organizations is scared of interracial mating. Does Abdul El-Sayed stand by his racist fearmongering?”
“No wonder he was so nasty to Usha Vance,” said Will Chamberlain, senior counsel at the Article III Project. “The very concept of brown women marrying white men infuriates him.”

Abdul El-Sayed wrote about the harms of Arab women dating White men in college.
Zohran Mamdani wrote about his frustrations that white women were “impossible to talk to” because of his skin.
Radical politics springing out of dating frustrations? https://t.co/rDkHh8j14U

Drew Pavlou noted: “Abdul El-Sayed used to publish race science papers about the dangers of Arab women ‘mating’ outside the Arab race. So f***ing strange.”
Sana Ebrahimi Ledene, an Iranian born PhD., opined: “Abdul El-Sayed is against inter-racial mating. It just keeps getting better 😂.”
Katya Sedgwick stated: “Interestingly, El Sayed’s only known wife is not Arab. So he, an Arab man, can mate interracially, no problem, but Arab women, in his scientific opinion, it seems, are better off staying within their own tribes.
“El Sayed exhibits great many third world attitudes that are repressive, violent, and incompatible with our way of life.”
Liberty-Identarian on X said: “Y’all, whatever it is you are doing stop right now. This is the biggest news of the day. Sayed wrote a paper in 2011 saying any Arab woman who mates with a Black man will have a greatly increased chance of birth defects for their child.”
