2. even if what you are saying is right, humans are tribalistic. It is a natural impulse to be wary of people of different skin, its a survival mechanism.
Therefore, it would be unwise to advise against what you are arguing.
It is actually bad for us to do so, and for everyone else to do that either. Which is why I suggest a homeland theory, not necessarily a discrimination theory
You are also discounting the fact that races are biologically different
Your one argument does not provide a framework, rather an excuse.
I can’t really comment on point 1, as that study’s not been done yet. But there is racism against Asian-Americans, so it would be reasonable to apply the same to that population as well.
Your second point is basically, “people in the past lived in tribes, so we should too.” Why? Just because people in the past fought each other because of some imagined community, why should we, in the 21st century, feel any need to do the same.
I actually have to applaud you for being honest about the real root of your views on this. You say that people in the past were “wary” of people from a different group. I understand now- you’re afraid of people who look different. That’s a difficult impulse to overcome, and you have my sympathy. But your fears shouldn’t drive public policy
Lol that’s not what tribalism is
Also being smug will not get you anywhere
It’s a survival instinct, not a fear
I'm really mixed, both my parent's are mixed- And I'd say I'm pretty blessed. Also, the articles above don't seem very credible in all honesty.
They arent lol
Their only conclusive on the basis for a general group of people
You would get the same results examining any race ethnicity or people lol
@CaramelKitten anecdotal
At lea set in non post-postmodern nations
Or in non capitalist nations
That study doesn’t conclude that mixed race children are going to have higher race of detrimental predisposed genetic issues
I just don't see how a study can rule out all other variables except race- its not possible. And therefore you can't prove race was the deciding factor in the complications they talked about.
I could say the same about the opposite
Besides everyone is inherently distasteful to mix racing anyway
Yes
It’s a survival instinct
Its instinctual to how we operated in homogenous tribes
Okay...
That’s good
What. Nah mixed people are great. We get along with everyone. At least where im from thats how it is
Okay
Again
Noone is saying there bad
Anecdotal
Im saying i dont want my children mixed race
I want my genetics to have 100% prominent showing in my offspring
You're missing out, genetic diversity is instrumental in long term species survival.
if my children are mixed race then i dont care but personally it wasnt preferable
LOL
it actually isnt
genetic diversity isnt really required
Yeah
