Subject: Diversity of ethnic groups
Written By: mxcrashxm on 12/06/16 at 8:29 pm
So, for a while I have been reading articles about ethnicity and the racial-mixing we have had since it was legal. Unfortunately, I have read comments that this creation is promoting genocide especially when it comes to Caucasians ::). That is some BS because there's no way that's true!!! Some of them even had the nerve to say that the average American in 2050 will look disgusting due to too much mixing.
What do you all think about this?

Stop reading garbage forums lol. Stick to this one.
"Look disgusting"... I hope these people are providing their own pictures so we can see what fine specimen we're comparing to?

I just only fear for the people who write racist comments, even though nobody would give a sh*t about them. I honestly wish mixed race couples wouldn't get that much sh*t, since they never really "threatened" any personal life before. It's just their personal preference, in which nobody should be forced to look at.

Exactly! It's like these people think it's a big deal whenever it comes down to interracial relationships, even though it's still a minority in the United States. Even after the Supreme Court ruled that anti-miscegenation laws (which banned interracial marriage) were considered unconstitutional 50 years ago, it's still not that big.

Right right! So, the racists shouldn't be complaining since miscegenation is still a minority. Besides, who's business is it of theirs anyway? It's still a personal preference and sometimes we don't have explain our choices. We like what we like.
It's the same thing with LGBT. Yeah, they have now been accepted by other people, but they are also still a minority as well.

I was born and raised in Australia (have never traveled overseas before), however i'm about 70-75% British. My Dad's side of the family migrated from England to Australia in 1956 and my Mum's side of the family moved to Australia in 1974. On my Mum's side of the family, I am the first person born in Australia. :P
My Dad is Australian, and so are my Nan (my Dad's mum) and my uncle, aunty and cousins. However, my Grandad is English and most of my uncles (on both sides of the family) are as well. I have a bit of Scottish ancestry as well. My surname is Scottish and my Nanna (my Mum's mum) was as well. Technically, I have German ancestry as well, because my Mum was born in Germany, but was raised in the UK, before moving to Australia in her pre-teens. My ethnicity isn't too mixed, in the grand scheme of things. :P

Well I'm 100% Punjabi for at least 4 generations, but go further than that then it's a bit murkier. My last name and my mom's last name are of Persian origin, so definitely some ties to there. My clan is called "Mughal" which is Persian for Mongol, so I know I have Mongolian/Central Asian/Turkic ancestors. Other than that, a lot of people in my family have natural red/brown hair and green/hazel eyes. I can't say where it came from, but it's not indigenous to South or East Asia, so there's probably something from out west. I think a genealogy test might turn out some interesting results :o but I don't really care to find out lol.
Edit: I just checked and red hair actually comes from Central Asia! The clan name don't lie lol. I can't seem to find where green eyes come from though.

There is only ONE race: HUMAN! People have been interbreeding since the beginning on time. All my life, people thought I was Italian. As far as I know, there isn't one ounce of Italian blood in me. But, when I went to Greece, they thought I was Greek-EVEN the Greeks! However, as far as I know, my ancestors came from eastern Europe (Poland, Russia, etc.) Somewhere, my early ancestors came from the Mediterranean region-which is why I look Italian/Greek. Who knows, maybe my ancestors came from the OTHER side of the Med-which means I could have some African/Middle Eastern blood in me. But that is only on my father's side. My mother's side, I think her family came from the British Isles-which means even earlier from Scandinavia/Germany.
Carlos' ethnic background is much more diverse. His mother was Puerto Rican and her father was from Spain. He probably have had Moorish blood (which came from North Africa)-which means that Carlos would have it. There may even be some Taino (the Native Puerto Ricans) blood. His father's family was from Germany. He has a distance cousin who did some family history and discovered that that family came out of the black forest in the 1200s (?). Carlos always pictures this as guys wearing animal skins, horned helmets, carrying battleaxes.

A lot of Asians are against marrying outside of race/caste/clan too. It's not only racism, but a lot of stupidity/ignorance too, not that the three are mutually exclusive ::)
Pure blood/one drop rule... That's a dead give away to the level of scientific knowledge the person has, which is to say almost purely based on folk tales. Go back long enough and when do you get the first white or first pure race person? And how does that person's genes remain pure if everyone else is a different race? If someone invokes the continuum fallacy, then ask them for a definition of what it means to be white/whatever race. How many generations of purity, how many generations? Then after they give a definition, ask them for a source for that definition. Pro-tip: it will usually be their ass. There isn't even a pseudo-scientific definition of white. It's all self professed.

"White genocide", also dumb. When you have babies with another race person, your genes don't disappear, they live on in your children, it's almost the whole point of f*cking. Just because your kid doesn't have blonde hair doesn't mean he doesn't have the genes for it (recessive alleles). If the idiot complains about mixed race kids, then go back to debunking him with the one drop rule. No surprise the most racist people have the least knowledge about genetics.
"Race realism" or "racialism" is a dangerous ideology. There are a lot of people out there who really think race is a scientific concept and (((cultural marxists))) are trying to suppress the truth. At this point, it's not enough to call someone racist, you have to beat them at their own game. Expose their selective "scientody" and "scientistry" for the pseudoscience that it is.

Well, it's their preference. Even if I don't like people who are against interracial marriage, I wouldn't bother them just because they say so. In fact, I just think it's a very dangerous idea to do that, since it might end up in a f*cked up way. Argumentatively, that is.

Isn't he that guy who found out that he was 14% African, while being in a white supremacist dominated town? After he found out about his 14% African heritage, his entire set of friends hated him and put out signs that put in "No octoroon n*ggers". It's pretty sad, but that just shows his friends doesn't give a crap about biology in the slightest.

Or any sort of science whatsoever. I mean, if they came from the Southern United States, while being extremely religious, then I could safely tell that they're probably brainwashed. It's actually sad for this point, since they never got a chance to realize that they could've educated themselves better. All the education they get is going to their local church every day, along with going to their schools that probably whitewash everything about U.S. and global history. It could be worse if their parents were extremely racist, and decided to home school their kids by putting Stormfront or Breitbart articles, while appreciatively saying that Hitler didn't do anything wrong (along with denying the Holocaust). Not to mention that they don't really give any of their kids some fun, unless they were bonding with each other.
With mixed race children, it's not their fault that their parents like each other. I never really got upset just for being a biracial (half black and half white), since I just thought that character was more important in my opinion. Although, I do favor my mom's side of the family, simply because they don't force religion into my mouth and are more comfortable being around with.

There's no words that I could describe how I feel with this. This is the truth for these people who were more likely to become neo-Nazis, Klansman, and other sorts of white supremacists. You can't simply call them a racist, since they'll just call you an "anti-white" person. In fact, if you disagree with almost everything they say, despite being terrifying as sh*t, then they would still see you as an "anti-white" person. They'll think that you're committing "genocide" to their race, despite the fact that they don't know the meaning of that word. Even if they changed it up, it doesn't mean that they disappear. It's really unintelligent by that point.

I think a genealogy test might turn out some interesting results :o but I don't really care to find out lol.
Edit: I just checked and red hair actually comes from Central Asia! The clan name don't lie lol. I can't seem to find where green eyes come from though.
Have you visited those regions since you found out your heritages? and, do you also have that combination listed in the bold?
There is only ONE race: HUMAN! People have been interbreeding since the beginning on time. All my life, people thought I was Italian. As far as I know, there isn't one ounce of Italian blood in me. But, when I went to Greece, they thought I was Greek-EVEN the Greeks! However, as far as I know, my ancestors came from eastern Europe (Poland, Russia, etc.) Somewhere, my early ancestors came from the Mediterranean region-which is why I look Italian/Greek. Who knows, maybe my ancestors came from the OTHER side of the Med-which means I could have some African/Middle Eastern blood in me. But that is only on my father's side. My mother's side, I think her family came from the British Isles-which means even earlier from Scandinavia/Germany.
Carlos' ethnic background is much more diverse. His mother was Puerto Rican and her father was from Spain. He probably have had Moorish blood (which came from North Africa)-which means that Carlos would have it. There may even be some Taino (the Native Puerto Ricans) blood. His father's family was from Germany. He has a distance cousin who did some family history and discovered that that family came out of the black forest in the 1200s (?). Carlos always pictures this as guys wearing animal skins, horned helmets, carrying battleaxes.

Well, we are actually a species. but it's amazing to know that you have gotten mistaken for another heritage because some of them look the same in a way. Have both of you traveled to your ancestor's countries?
A lot of Asians are against marrying outside of race/caste/clan too. It's not only racism, but a lot of stupidity/ignorance too, not that the three are mutually exclusive ::)
Pure blood/one drop rule... That's a dead give away to the level of scientific knowledge the person has, which is to say almost purely based on folk tales. Go back long enough and when do you get the first white or first pure race person? And how does that person's genes remain pure if everyone else is a different race? If someone invokes the continuum fallacy, then ask them for a definition of what it means to be white/whatever race. How many generations of purity, how many generations? Then after they give a definition, ask them for a source for that definition. Pro-tip: it will usually be their ass. There isn't even a pseudo-scientific definition of white. It's all self professed.

"White genocide", also dumb. When you have babies with another race person, your genes don't disappear, they live on in your children, it's almost the whole point of f*cking. Just because your kid doesn't have blonde hair doesn't mean he doesn't have the genes for it (recessive alleles). If the idiot complains about mixed race kids, then go back to debunking him with the one drop rule. No surprise the most racist people have the least knowledge about genetics.
"Race realism" or "racialism" is a dangerous ideology. There are a lot of people out there who really think race is a scientific concept and (((cultural marxists))) are trying to suppress the truth. At this point, it's not enough to call someone racist, you have to beat them at their own game. Expose their selective "scientody" and "scientistry" for the pseudoscience that it is.

Actually, it's of them and it's because of human anture. No ethnicty wants to see a genocide happen to them which is why some of them are against miscegenation.
I also agree that genes do stay regardless of the mixing. The majority are even dominant. I have seen many folks with slanted eyes. There are non-white people who have natural blonde hair. There are Anglos with afros. Shoot, there are even Arabic folks who are dark.

I think of what he's saying is that some people don't want their sons or daughters to date people outside of their race, since they think it's awkward for them. Although, it's just laying out a point that they're somehow racist and they might believe all that "white genocide" sh*t.

Hmm, I'm not sure about this Ratatoskr dude, but from that quote, I'd at the very least derive that he has a very poor understanding of "phenotypes". If he truly likes biodiversity, wouldn't he be against "perserving heritage", which sounds like a euphemism for anti-miscegenation? ??? Just because a white person has a baby with a black person doesn't mean their phenotypes disappear, in fact, they carry on to the next generation.

When white nationalists use "preserve", it's usually for white men and women to keep their heritage or blood from non-white people. As a person who gets into topics about miscegenation (which implies marrying a person outside of their race, and procreating with that non-white person), it's quite rampant ever since Trump announced his presidency. He got the attention from white nationalists, including David Duke, Don Black, and Jared Taylor, who also oppose miscegenation and other sorts of race-mixing.

Sorry for bumping this thread but I think that this topic is interesting and I have some stuff to say:
1. Not all people who oppose "race mixing" are "White" people. There are plenty of people who are "Black", East Asian, South Asian, Arab, Persian, Mestizo, etc who are AGAINST "race mixing". Get it out of your heads that only "White" supremacists are opposed to "interracial" relationships.
2. There is no such thing as White people and Black people but unfortunately "White" supremacy and European colonialism has propagated this falsehood that it has become normalized and accepted as a fact.
3. We are all of a different ethnic group or different ethnic backgrounds. When an ethnic Polish man has a child with an ethnic Italian woman...their child is ethnically mixed (an ethnic Polish and Italian offspring) but yet we have been conditioned by "White" supremacy to think that the child is simply "White". When an ethnic Yoruba woman (an ethnic group native to Nigeria) has a child with an ethnic German man...their child is just as ethnically mixed as the child of the Polish-Italian couple but "White" supremacy has us conditioned to think that their is something "different" with the ethnic Yoruba-German child. We see the ethnic Yoruba-German child as a "biracial", "mulatto", "mixed race" but yet there is NO such thing as race. That ethnic Yoruba-German child is "bi-ethnic" just the same as the ethnic Polish-Italian child....just because the ethnic Yoruba-Italian child has parents of a completely different skin color doesn't mean that it isn't the same thing as an ethnic Polish and Italian having a child together.
4. Ethnic and genetic diversity benefits humanity and actually keeps the different "races" (not real but whatever) alive...ironically.
5. MOST people don't engage in relationships with someone of a different "race" or background.
6. The same thing that causes your skin color is what causes your eye and hair color (that thing is melanin). Melanin is "the pigment that gives human skin, hair, and eyes their color. Dark-skinned people have more melanin in their skin than light-skinned people have. Melanin is produced by cells called melanocytes." Melanin is very beneficial to humans because it "dissipates the damaging effect of UV light as heat and helps prevent skin and eye cancers". Racism is so foolish that if you're going to hate someone because of their skin...then you might as well hate someone because of their eye and hair color because they are ALL cause by the SAME EXACT THING...MELANIN.
The reason why the OVERWHELMING majority of humans have brown to dark brown eyes is because it greater protects our eyes from the Sun's UV rays. People with blue eyes have a HIGHER risk of getting eye cancer, becoming blind, needing to wear glasses and other vision problems. However, vision problems can be caused by other factors as well (so even brown eyed people obviously can have vision problems).
