Im a 'hybrid' too. Nevermind. We have a strong gene pool that means!*nagowteena* wrote:
and it's not just about being racest to one color to the other, what about half races like me?
then it's twice as hard.
yeah I have heard about that, it sounds interesting.Kirk Hammett wrote:Im a 'hybrid' too. Nevermind. We have a strong gene pool that means!*nagowteena* wrote:

Race is very correct. Races is within species. It's kinda like dog breeds. Except human races tend to keep to the same general shape with minor tweaks like color or facial features, or height where dogs are super-varied.Kirk Hammett wrote:' (The term race being incorrect because humans are not several races at all, and even if they were, then I'm a hybrid of each one ) b
Genetics has shown us race doesn't exist in humans. I can understand races in birds, being an avid bird watcher, but it doesn't exist in humans.Aki wrote:Race is very correct.

Anywho, yeah, racism = bad. Kind of thing that should be common sense.

But I imagine it would be really tough to be the first generation of mixed descent. People can be really cruel for no reason other than they grew up thinking one group is better than the next.
yeah, that would me niceKirk Hammett wrote:Genetics has shown us race doesn't exist in humans.

But, since race is a man made term made by science, it depends what you consider the word race to mean, and what you consider the word species to mean, which is also a disastrously iffy term.

I have pretty olive skin but if I don't go in the sun for a while it can be quite pale, and if I do, it tans. But it's definately not white skin, or pink, it's olive. I've never had too many cruel comments, generally they're in good fun, but if anybody is rude to Nago, I shall have them for lunch!!!
This is not necessarily true and in its own way uses the same logic as racism. Your statement may be true some of the time but it is not true all of the time. I do not believe in stereotypes and I am not racist. Although you are judging me based on my actions (or what I said) this too can create bias. Proof that judging someone based on their actions can be a bad thing is in the fact that you are associating something with its exact opposite in the form of a generalization.Set wrote: Quite frankly there are a number of things I could say, such as it tends to be the ones who claim to hate racism the most who are the most racist, but that would start an enormous bitchfest I don't have the energy nor interest to persue.
Well, even if biologically it doesn't exist, the article does point out it is a cultural thing. It's impossible to deny racial cultures. People in Asia do do things differently from those in Africa, The Middle East, Europe, the Americas....Kirk Hammett wrote:Genetics has shown us race doesn't exist in humans.

What would happen if everyone disagreed with something but said or does nothing? Maybe out of fear of being made fun of. You may think to yourself that there is nothing bad going on right now and that this is not the time or place to argue so it is ok to be afraid or to frighten others. But I will not stop speaking my mind so that I do not stop speaking it when something occurs that is nothing to laugh at.MoonKit wrote:When somebody on the internet disagrees with you, just remember this:

Sorry. Its a little mean.
True, but calling anything 'racial' would be wrong, if you can honestly be stuffed being politically correct...Im not always politcally correct myself with things so I shouldn't even be saying this!Aki wrote:Well, even if biologically it doesn't exist, the article does point out it is a cultural thing.

I'm just a passive personality. I don't like bickering. Im capable of debating. I have strong opinions. But, being a passive kind of person, I choose not to, although I am quite capable of putting my opinion in. Considering Im a humanitarian and dont eat any meat products either plus care about the environment, its a bit impossible to be devoid of opinions. But I always avoid throwing it into people's faces. And you're correct in your next post and it is nice of you to say you may be wrong...cumulusprotagonist wrote:What would happen if everyone disagreed with something but said or does nothing?
