You can keep your race bs to yourself

2020-02-23 16:28:33 UTC  

there are differences in races bro

2020-02-23 16:28:36 UTC  

Ok <:wtf:591182282648190986>

2020-02-23 16:30:32 UTC  

So, Uh

2020-02-23 16:30:46 UTC  

You have to be concise

2020-02-23 16:30:50 UTC  

👏

2020-02-23 16:33:42 UTC  

Wdm by "concise"?

2020-02-23 16:38:26 UTC  

eh, whatever.

2020-02-23 16:43:58 UTC  

Okay so segregation in a multi racial country being natural is bullshit

2020-02-23 16:49:28 UTC  

I never implied segregation, but, funnily enough, that is something common in Mexico.

2020-02-23 16:50:18 UTC  

At least according by P Monkkonen (2012).

2020-02-23 16:50:26 UTC  

I am interested, could you elaborate?

2020-02-23 16:51:27 UTC  

Technically racism protects cultural identities, it's just unbecoming when it's projected on others.

2020-02-23 16:52:12 UTC  

I can't speak for Mexico since they were a separate unit of the Spanish Empire from the start, and having the US as neighbor has to spice up things too

2020-02-23 16:53:54 UTC  

I find that hypothesis kind of bizarre since De Soto stayed in Illinois over a decade. Shouldn't Illinois be native and Spanish population?

2020-02-23 16:54:58 UTC  

what hypothesis?

2020-02-23 16:55:17 UTC  

About mexico

2020-02-23 16:55:38 UTC  

?

2020-02-23 16:55:53 UTC  

Sure. Acording to him, mostly, in urban areas in there have been a rise in the diacrimination and marginalization agaisn't other racial groups, mainly indians done by the general population. @moira

2020-02-23 16:56:03 UTC  

The conquistadors left Central and south America after pillaging it looking for the fabled El Dorado

2020-02-23 16:56:48 UTC  

He also, mentioned other studies, which I haven't read, containing that these marginalizatin is acutally increasing in countries like Argentina, Chile and Brazil.

2020-02-23 16:57:00 UTC  

Let me see if I can translate something rf.

2020-02-23 16:59:48 UTC  

@SavvyPun The thing is, after the new lands were discovered, the definitive draft of the territories was, North of Panama governed through Mexico, South governed through Lima

2020-02-23 17:00:16 UTC  

Of course, the La Plata and New Granada viceroyalties eventually split from the Peru one

2020-02-23 17:00:24 UTC  

@Lettow could be

2020-02-23 17:00:30 UTC  

They were mostly abandoned in the search for El Dorado

2020-02-23 17:00:43 UTC  

This isn't phenotype based, though, is it

2020-02-23 17:01:26 UTC  

A person with native parents can be a mestizo if it adopts mainstream mexican culture

2020-02-23 17:01:41 UTC  

I'd need dna evidence. Fact is the conquistadors murdered millions upon millions for petty treasures.

2020-02-23 17:05:24 UTC  

I'm part native and even then most natives won't talk to me. There's just not many of them left.

2020-02-23 17:10:26 UTC  

Also most of those conquests was funded by religious institutions that murdered the Templars and stole the banks. Government is literally a religious puppet. It says so on most currencies.

2020-02-23 17:13:28 UTC  

After all the murdering was done they built tons of colonies and collapsed European communities to force migration to a "promised" land. Shortly after the term slave was identified as civilian or being civilized. The rest savages. But what do I know.

2020-02-23 17:32:12 UTC  

@SavvyPun How does Racism protect cultural identities? How does prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior does such thing?

2020-02-23 17:33:23 UTC  

It forces cultural identities to defend where they come from.

2020-02-23 17:34:19 UTC  

Forming social cultural bonds among any given race being slandered.

2020-02-23 17:34:28 UTC  

It's true that most cultures originate from a group of people that come from the same race, but racism doesn't protect the identity of the culture. Couldn't a person of a different race assimilate into that culture without hurting its identity?

2020-02-23 17:34:54 UTC  

Many black people are Christian and have assimilated into the Christian culture, without hurting its identity, for example.

2020-02-23 17:35:56 UTC  

Let's take USA for instance. The Africans don't even defend African culture. Through the period of persecution a new cultural identity was found and now they protect that.

2020-02-23 17:36:53 UTC  

I mean the whites forced their own culture onto them, and I'm pretty sure they were racist.

2020-02-23 17:37:24 UTC  

Things are steering every direction with culture of course. But the universe does the same.

2020-02-23 17:38:03 UTC  

My point is that a culture can be made up of people from different races. Therefore racism won't protect its cultural identity.
