basically everything that defines race can be defined under ancestry

I personally don't care if someone's anything.

Well germany got yeeted in the end so not really.

to just include that and act like that is somehow different than whats previously mentioned is just dishonest

the shit you guys find to divide humanity over, its mind boggling

@Irish Princess isnt the term "anything" a bit too far

@Deleted User ofc humanity is divided

Probably.

its called evolution

aight, im gonna start being hair colorist, intelligenist and ageist

Lmao

But I don't really care about ethnicity or 'shared ancestry'. If you want to be whatever, I don't give a shit. I'm a citizen of the world first and foremost.

dont talk to me unless u have black hair, a 4.0 gpa and are within 6 months of my age

Hair colourist

xD

thing is i cant remeber the last time i saw a homeless chinese man

we can only compete within the species for greater reproductive success with other members of our species @Deleted User

yeah so?

people obviously are bound to make groups of common ancestry to increase their collective competitive advantage

its only natural that division and inter-group competition takes place

Well id argue peoples goal in life is simply to live an individual and do what makes you happy.

aww yeah, my gpa is still 4.0

just checked

why would i want to unite with everyone else when its their difference that creates a lifestyle that is less preferable for me to live through? @Deleted User

This presumes common ancestry groups a priori operate for the interest of common ancestry instead of other factors, such as national identity or individual preference.

dunno

With the great success of humanity i dont think our main goal is to reproduce due to the lack of dangers. Out main goal is to work and do what makes us happy.

Reducing it to evolution or biology seems very reductive, since we don't need to work that way in the modern world.

@Irish Princess that would just be covered by kin selection

Sure, but selection is geographic. It's rare in human evolutionary history that we specifically chose someone over another due to 'common ancestry' variables. It's who we're around. If we move, we select people there, regardless of ancestry.

i say we still do as people like me have to live with those whose difference negatively impact us

yeah eactly

to @Irish Princess

I hate the average person because I find them intolerable, but I do not want to reject them from existing near me. Guess it's just a difference of opinion.

thats not universally true when we look at the history of international affairs @Irish Princess

ahh random, i see youve fallen back to it

many times over that hasnt been the case where we would pick those further from us due to common interests

using precedent for most of your argument

but concerning the individual

there are those likely to simply prefer whose within their vicinity but it isnt that simple

because when given the choice to pick whose within their vicinity most pick their own race or a perceived upper class race like white
