Racialism

[Kurgg]

Here is something I've been wondering:

Is it wrong and does it make a person evil racist if he acknowledges the existanse of races or thinks that human kind is separated to different races.

I think that people consists races. I also think that there are no inferior or superior races and that everyone is equal. I don't also give a flying shit if someone makes a child with a partner with a different race. I just think that there are different races, although they aren't nowadays very clean. We all, after all, are related to each other and we have all come from same people and same place. Does that make me a evil white-suprematist nazi?

If someone's race - in your own opinion - does not impact on them in any way, good or bad, then why bother even considering it?

It is a fact that people have divided into races. You can't deny an obvious fact.

Color of hair does not impact people in good or bad way. Still some people prefer brunetes pver blondes and some people dye their colors. Doesn't it tell that people care about different things?

I don't also see anything bad of being proud of bring white. I am, though, not. I carry more pride from my nationality and the group where it belongs, rather than the whole white race.

What do you meant hey aren't very clean?

What do you meant hey aren't very clean?

I meant clean by heritage, as Nazis have it defined. There has been so much of mixing between the races, that I claim that everyone has a minimal portion of DNA of peoples from other races.

I never denied race existed. I'm making the point that it's generally un-noteworthy.

Doesn't it tell that people care about different things?
It's not like 'everyone in group a' is sexually attractive and 'everyone in group b' is not. I tend to not be so attracted to blondes but you'd find that there's a number within that group that I'd get with even though they are blonde.

You'll find that sexual attractiveness is also better discussed on an individual-by-individual basis.

I feel that races shouldn't exist, however as humans, it is our nature to catagorize, however, I think that there's nothing wrong with acknowledging race, as long as your noT like: ____ are inferior to _____ and that kind of shit.

I thought the whole 'race' terminology had been debunked since it just wasn't scientifically accurate - that we are all one race. I just rather use the division of peoples between ethnic groups.

And after dividing them one from another, be ethnicities or races, what's the point? I can only think of proving one [-]"superiority"[/-] "difference" in socioeconomic statistics. So you'd be proud of a previous time in mankind where your race was actually differentiated from others leaving to a modern advantage? Ease the creation of stereotypes? And why not ethnicities?

I don't see any great use to this beyond reasons above.

You'll find that sexual attractiveness is also better discussed on an individual-by-individual basis. Pheromones and immune system. We actually tend to like people physiologically similar with different immune systems. Crazy, huh?

That doesn't make much sense to me, perhaps to ancient distantly seperated races, like island inhabitants.
Otherwise, nobody has ever been 100% of a single race, because that's not how race works, it's just something generaly/globaly defined, even if you'd construct what the perfect [race]'s DNA wuold be like, there would have never been anyone alive to have it, or 1 person at most (unless they were twins).
I don't understand how you could mix something that is on itself a mix.

I think the thing which you are talking about is not Race but Ethnicity.

It's okay to use race and skin color as a descriptive adjective, but other than appearance it isn't relevant to much. So for example
Hey, can you go hand this flashlight to that guy over there?
Which one? The white or black one?
The black one.
Oh okay.

is absolutely fine. But
Hey stay away from Abdul, he's a filthy terrorist!

is obviously not okay. What I'm saying is Race is mostly just aesthetic, and there's nothing wrong with using it to describe someone or acknowledge it exist, just like there's nothing wrong with using hair color to describe someone or acknowledge it's existence. I think this is something a lot of people need to learn and chill out about.
