"I choose Planned Parenthood, RAINN and Saving Our Sisters, the three that I felt best counteracted the religion I was raised in"
Not only to be a non beleiver, but to acutually opose directly the Church and not fullfish your last parents wishes. Damn, that's fucking harsh.

10% isn't that much compared to the 60% he's keeping

2020-02-23 15:39:23 UTC

2020-02-23 15:43:16 UTC  

I really do not know. @moira

2020-02-23 15:45:22 UTC  

The only ones I can say "self-segregate", at least in my country, are Jews. But it is mostly due to religious and cultural reasons.

2020-02-23 15:46:53 UTC  

if by "self-segregating" you mean "forcibly removed from 109 host countries" then yes absolutely

2020-02-23 15:49:31 UTC  

I think South America is pretty mixed already so there's no segregation

2020-02-23 15:49:44 UTC  

Mixing already happened

2020-02-23 15:50:20 UTC  

To different degrees

2020-02-23 15:50:37 UTC  

mestizo

2020-02-23 15:51:01 UTC  

It sounds meaningless.

2020-02-23 15:53:55 UTC  

This girl is 50% black

2020-02-23 15:54:07 UTC  

phenotype is a funny thing isn't it...

2020-02-23 15:59:08 UTC  

Wait, what are we disscussing about?
I haven't seen anyone bringing this topic on rn.

2020-02-23 16:00:21 UTC  

Like, what sounds "meaningless".

2020-02-23 16:00:42 UTC  

yeah,scuse me, theres various discussions lol

2020-02-23 16:01:33 UTC  

We are talking about segregation in south America specifically

2020-02-23 16:04:00 UTC  

Im saying that the different definitions of mestizo are meaningless

2020-02-23 16:04:25 UTC  

They are meaningless nowadays, since the casta went away after the Spanish got rekt

2020-02-23 16:04:45 UTC  

mestizo used to mean half spanish half indigenous, it means mixed now

2020-02-23 16:05:01 UTC  

no matter the proportions

2020-02-23 16:10:44 UTC  

May I quote a paragraph of how the perception of Latin America countries perceive ethnic distinction by Villareal (2014)?
If not, I will try to resume it.

2020-02-23 16:11:46 UTC  

sure

2020-02-23 16:12:16 UTC  

"In contrast to Afro-Latin American countries such as Brazil, in Indo-Latin American countries, which include not only Mexico but most countries in Central America and the Andean region, the primary socially-recognized ethnic distinction between the indigenous and non-indigenous population is not based on phenotypical differences. The social boundary that separates the indigenous population is instead constructed around other criteria such as cultural practices, language use, and a subjective sense of belonging (Harris 1964; Pitt-Rivers 1968; Bartolomé 1997). Such criteria are used to distinguish what are often referred to as ethnic groups rather than racial categories"

2020-02-23 16:12:53 UTC  

100%

2020-02-23 16:14:40 UTC  

completely true, Lettow.

2020-02-23 16:14:48 UTC  

This may answer somewhat yo your question in a different way.
Since in Latin America country the disproportion of wealth is huge, the differentiations perceive by normal people, between ethnic groups, is mostly due to social factors. For example, I'm meztizo, but since I do locate in the middle class; I could consider myself white to other people.

2020-02-23 16:15:57 UTC  

yes and yes

2020-02-23 16:16:23 UTC  

Completely

2020-02-23 16:16:41 UTC  

How do you know all of this?

2020-02-23 16:17:54 UTC  

Normally I do investigate about it in NCBI.

2020-02-23 16:18:28 UTC  

Yeah that is true.

2020-02-23 16:18:39 UTC  

Thanks

2020-02-23 16:18:45 UTC  

If not, I decide to find studies by their name in Google, since most of the time they mentione other studies to further study.

2020-02-23 16:18:49 UTC  

I'm actually surprised about how you know this
