this is more of an identity issue, or the issues between identity and culture and finding your own identity in a culture
i still don't think calling it race is really the appropriate term. Its just general looks.
people being predudice is a factor but i dont think its a soul factor
any little thing that can identify someone as an "outsider" can set off our fear reflex that makes us want to either run or destroy it
which is how we get witchhunts
the reason race is still appropriate is because those looks call into question upon self reflection where your genetics have traveled. your ancestory.
ive seen people comparing their ancestory to that of the culture they live in where they are ancestors of a genetic pull not geographicly native to the region.
im not really talking that much about predudice because in my opinion its not that common of a problem right now. it may be growing due to the avent of identity politics and the vicious cycle that creates reguardless of who starts it, but personally im more conserned what sociological trends can be observed in populations which have a culture adoption problem
yeah, but at that point you get down to the individual level and can have multiple "races" in one family which makes you not really part of any one of them. Which is why race isn't really an appropriate term because you'd have to randomly assign how far back in human history you start to count as a "race"
its easier to abstract to looks because it doesn't matter if the person is Indian or mixed race white and black, they may both group together under both having similar tan skin.
a highly nationalistic culture that is tolerent of other genetic groups not native to their region that adopts them as their own will have a better success rate with multiracial societys than cultures with very low or antinationalistic tedencys or cultures without tolerence
i dont think many western countrys are very nationalistic while at the same time being very tolerent of non native genetic pools sharing the same culture as them
i think thats not optumal for relations between people or maintaining cultural homogeny. or atleast value homogeny
there is probably a difference that needs to be defined between cultural homogeny and cultural rigidity
which i think some people confuse as the same thing
probably, i like the idea of a geographic region staying culturally constistant eternally. just for my own personal reasons. i like the idea of being able to visit paris tomarrow or ten thousand years from now and have roughly the same experince. however realisticly as a social engineer i realize the impracticality of simply trying to maintain that so id just be happy if the values of geographic regions stay relitivly unchanged and if a region is going to adopt people from a genetic pool that is not geographicly native to it, that both maintain harmony while having consistant values
i don't think you could keep the geographic region the same for ten thousand years, yet alone the culture
lmao
"Where is Paris?!"
"Under 3 miles of dirt by now"
its the small bit of idealism i have, i just keep it tempered with being realistic. if people are willing to try power to them so long as they dont abuse other morales
dirt doesent actually stack that fast in 10k years. there are things weve built that long ago sitting on the surface still. though the eternal aspect i mentioned would eventually have that problem
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NdiMAzDFPNU i supose i have this option
well, technically that was dirt in a specific area. which could stack that fast depending on everything that happens in that small area.
generally, probably not
but titanic volcanic eruptions, meteor strike, warfare, elon's boring machine, any combination of those might cause a localized pile
lots of cows all in one area for a long time
BIG MOTHERFUCKER

how the fuck will this work??
you can't just take the quintessential dark/scifi/fantasy setting and then just turn it "kid friendly".
even if they nuke Slaanesh (which frankly breaks the Eldar) and retcon 90% of the Dark Eldar you still have mountains of gratuitous blood and gore. The goddamn poster boys of the setting, the Space Marines, literally use machine guns that fire self-propelled explosive ammunition, designed to burrow inside the target before exploding them from the inside-out. How the fuck do you make that kid friendly?
And that's not even going into the grayish morality of the setting itself, which would not really be possible to pull off while staying kid friendly, and in my opinion is one of the biggest strengths of the setting.
they are taking a series in which literal space nazis are "the good guys" and it just gets worse from there, and making it a kids show?
apparently.
inb4 Tau are the goodguys
lets, what are the Tau equivalent to again? Space Commies?
"join us peacefully.... or die"
pretty much.
ruled by some guys called "Ethereals" which are likely mindcontrolling the populace.
plus the Tau frequently enact sterilization, conquer and enlave other races, all while maintaining the facade of a """greater good"""
there is not a single "good" faction. which is the point. the only reason the Empire is good is because they are at least human.
i mean, if they want to teach kids that life is all grey and there is no black and white, you can't get much better
lol
>ruled by some guys called "Ethereals" which are likely mindcontrolling the populace.
All but confirmed
I dunno, the Farsight Enclaves seem like pretty fucking solid proof
