I'm mixed race and I'm against race mixing

[Earthtank]

Race mixing is scientifically proven to have detrimental consequences such as mixed race people having infertility, lower IQ, mental health issues, defects/disabilities, etc. due to being mixed.

While i doubt any of that is scientific, i must say i do agree with this statement and that you are proof that most of those things are true.

 

[Altfish]

Why though?

In breeding.
Why are thoroughbred dogs the dumbest?

 

[Revoltingest]

I don't buy that.

I'm a single race (as far as I know), but hope for a world where the races mix thoroughly and most of the world is brown.

I know of one person who is a mix of four "races" - Asian, black, American Indian, and white - and that's golfer Tiger Woods. It didn't seem to hurt him too much. He dominated his sport in his prime. From What Is a Cablinasian? It's What Tiger Woods Claims as His Ethnicity :

Woods' Parents Both Multi-Ethnic

Woods' mother, Kultida, is a native of Thailand whose own ancestry includes Chinese and Dutch. She once referred to herself as "half-Thai, one-quarter Chinese and one-quarter white."

Woods' father, Earl, was an African-American whose heritage included white, Asian and Native American ancestors. Earl Woods once called himself, "half-black, one-quarter American Indian, and one-quarter Chinese."

So Tiger Woods' racial and ethnic heritage is predominantly black and Asian, but also includes white and Native American ancestry.​

Would Muhammad Ali been great if he weren't Irish?
(One drop rule makes him so, but he's part black.)

I'm mixed race and I'm 100% against race mixing/interracial relationships. Because:

1. Race mixing is racism/race hatred. How is mixing your race and your racial line out of existence not race hatred/self hatred? Every person I've ever asked has been unable to answer this. It would also ultimately destroy diversity.

2. Race mixing is scientifically proven to have detrimental consequences such as mixed race people having infertility, lower IQ, mental health issues, defects/disabilities, etc. due to being mixed.

Mixed people are more likely to have a variety of medical issues.

Got some bad news for you, EVERYONE is mix3d race, the only questions are to what degree and how far back their lineages diverged.

Lack of early childhood education?

No one (except perhaps for some Nazis or such ilk) disputes that we're related.
But you can't fight xenophobia by telling such people that there are no negroes,
caucasians, asians, etc. They'll look around....see different races....& dismiss
you as crazy.
However, I'll agree that making Jewish, Mexican, Muslim, etc into races is bogus.

Like i said, People can believe whatever suites their xenophobic tendencies.

 

[Cooky]

That's just time. People can believe whatever suites their xenophobic tendencies, genetics shows us all to be related. Hoes that grab ya brother ;-)

I suppose you meant to say "how's that grab you brother?", with a question mark?

 

[ChristineM]

Not necessarily a question mark, i thought the winking smile was enough but yes, "hows", thanks, i will edit it.

Ok, I was wondering if you were embracing something else in regards to mingling.

My xenophobia comports well with recognizing different races.
They allow me to feel progressive.

Nope, just yer bog standard dyslexia and intelligent autocorrect that is really very dumb. If its not highlighted as an error or it changes my misspelling to a legal word so its it highlighted the it passes my non existent filters

You are welcome to your progressive tendencies.

When you progress to genetics that will be cool

 

[Cooky]

Got some bad news for you, EVERYONE is mix3d race, the only questions are to what degree and how far back their lineages diverged.

Not to mention, it's funny how the most widely diverse populations where mixed breeding is at it's full potential, is where great economic successes tend to take place. Look at ancient Greece, Rome and the United States.

...All three the big melting pots in their heyday.

 

[Revoltingest]

Ya know....there are genetic differences between races.
Granted they have over 60% of genes in common, but
there are still differences, eg.....

Next people will argue that there's no gender cuz this
too has overlap & complexities.

My niece is a white female married to a man of Filipino descent, they have two very bright and happy children, my great niece and great nephew are very beautiful human beings. I now consider the human race as being the only race.

If you'd like to know my honest opinion about it, here it is: I'm all for it! We'd be a better looking species, and we'd have one less thing to hate about each other -- and that's worth something!

In 1967 I was a third grader living in a very white world, Greenwood Indiana. The racial strife was raging around the country.

Our teachers were very good about discussing all this, in age appropriate way. We were carefully taught all the right things, "Don't judge a book by it's cover." and "We're all God's children."

I still remember a conversation between my teacher and the class. It was about interracial marriages and biracial children. The euphemism she used for biracial children was "little brown babies".
I still remember her saying "Now, wouldn't it be better if there were more little brown babies?" And I remember the light bulb going off in my unsophisticated 9 y/o mind. "Yeah, that's what we need. More little brown babies!" Even I could see that blurring the line between black and white people, as groups, had to be an improvement. One less thing to cause division and strife.

The way I see it, you just end up with a new race of people.

There's actually pros and cons with race mixing. You can look at the detriment, but maybe see the benefits as well.

I have no problems with eugenics. In fact, I support it because it helps with things like intelligence, appearances, dispositions and such. Deriding any person's race as inferior or such however can lead to societal dangers as history has shown us.

Race should have nothing to do with anything. It's more important alternatively to look at individual genetic traits instead.

I'm a big fan of race mixing.
(I'd better be....otherwise Mrs Revolt might use her
kung fu on me. Those people are born knowing it.)

Sooo...in your house it's "Go make me a sammich...Please!...?

Since the beginning of human existence we have cross-bred - latest evidence suggests that Neanderthals didn't die out, they were interbred with other human species.
Europe is a combination of many races, the UK we're known as Anglo-Saxons.

Interbreeding is good, race purity is not.

I have some Neanderthal DNA, and I'm perfectly healthy. ....

 

[Cooky]

I have some Neanderthal DNA, and I'm perfectly healthy. ....

It's the purebred humans who get sickle cell anemia. Us hybrids don't.

...Proof interbreeding is healthy.
