well then you can have the same problem with part of the human body

height, weight, eye color, gender

and to that extent, its not even biological race, it becomes just skin color race

yes, its a matter of role modals

which would make Italians, particularly Sicilian, not white

so its not really about race at all at that point. not really.

at least, not a concept of race that is universal across all cultures

perhaps race how different cultures describe it

its not a race exclusive issue, thats not to say race isint part of it. historicaly speaking on matters of identity politics skin color is often a stronger psychological factor than most others

which would be like how the Irish were viewed for parts of history

hell, jews have the same skin color. yet they seem to be pointed out real quick.

just general "looks"

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
