@rizzo @Melon @xj9 humans have got sometimes significant genetic variance, like andean good-at-low-oxygen-ing, ancestral-spear-fishing-village-has-people-super-good-at-breath-holding, certain small region in east of africa produces all the long-legged olympic runners etc. compared to other species, though, our diversity is not that much at all (we're mostly a big mix of african-melt that spread all over the globe, with a few germ lines here and there in africa that preserve slightly more ancestral traits and an even fewer small group that preserves much from humans who spread out earlier), and on top of that the brain is body part "least affected by genetic variance" and "most affected by training" (that way of looking at things doesn't *really* make sense though, because like everything is at some point entirely dependent on both. like you can always have some snp that completely messes you up so you're non-functional, or grow up locked in a dark closet with no stimuli and be equally non-functional, and the positive influence a change can have is always relative to the current baseline, so it's impossible to measure objectively)

@Melon @xj9 race doesn't really exist. Your skin color and eye color is based off where you live on the equator. People who live more north of the equator have more pale skin, people who live south of the equator have darker skin. People in the middle are usually tanner.There exists a theory that the white race is actually in danger due to interracial relationships and also being outbred by black people and mexicans who come from historically poorer areas. The easy answer for this is class, as people who are poorer often have larger families (including poor whites). But some people in power would prefer people not align themselves with financial class and would rather they ally themselves with their own race instead. so the lower class never bands together to do something about they're situations and they focus on blaming black people and mexicans for their hardships. Point is, i have no belief in race and the great replacement theory sounds kind of funny so itd be neat for me if it happened. Dw I would not want any violent measures to get rid of a large group of people.

@xj9 literally told my dad i wanted the white race to go extinct and he was upset at me. hes a liberal. race isn't even real. skin color is decided by where you live on the equator.

reminder that it isn’t a melting pot if we aren’t interracially fucking
