Technically if you're a human being your genetic origin traces back to Africa, that's where all our bloodlines trace back to, the DNA doesn't lie.

There isn't even a great deal of genetic variance between us, other species like birds and even dogs have far more variance. We're far more alike than many species. We have basically three primary different shades of skin pigment, two different hair types, and some variance in features like the eyes/nose primarily, and that's about it.  

Even subgroups of species like say pigeons have more variance physically than we do. 

Guess you have to go back to biology class...

Just on the genetic origin, Europeans have a lot of inherintance from the Neanderthal.

I wouldn't do the girl that showed up on the video before clicking start.

I'm proud of who I am. Yeah I'm white. Not full, I have Latino and a dab of Asian heritage. But I'm proud of being white just as much as I am being part of the other races I am.

If people attack me or call me racist for liking who I am, then that's their problem.

This whole attack on white people in general will be short lived. It's like a social fad. People act like they care about race for attention. Attention whores will find something else to leech onto in the near future

Yes African human groups that migrated outside of Africa have interbreeding with Neanderthals, which for racial pursuits then means people in Africa are actually the "purest" human group (lol, don't think the racial supremacists like that though). 

Still our genetic variance is very low. Neanderthal genes are common to people in Asia and Africa too, it's not like it was limited to Europe. The genetic contribution of Neanderthals to the human genetic code is still also measured at about 1-4% so it's not a ton either. Likely some small group of our distant ancestors mated with Neanderthals out of need (no suitable partners to fuck) or probably more likely were raped or did the raping, lol. I'm guessing our mating rituals/habits back then weren't quite so posh. 



I always felt the concept of "white people" is silly to begin with. For instance, the majority of my ancestors were Irish who were busy being treated like shit on their island until they came to the US where they were again treated like shit, but there's people out there who'd suggest their descendants are somehow responsible for things like Mali/Kongo natives capturing their own and selling them to the Portuguese and Spanish for transport to the Americas. Meanwhile, they were likely subsisting on a few potatoes and had little to no understanding of who these lands and peoples even were.

When you really lay it out it becomes evident that placing blame on anyone today for the actions of individuals centuries ago is just preposterous. "White People" consists of Irish, English, French, Italians, Germans, Iberians (though they are often held in a separate "hispanic" group for some reason, despite being responsible for more destruction, cultural colonization and slavery than any other "white" people), Austrians, Scandinavians etc... It's not some monolith group that behaved uniformly and committed horrible acts that every other population hasn't also committed at some point or another.

I'm not proud or ashamed to be white/Caucasian. It's whatever. A lot of white people don't consider themselves white and incorrectly classify their race as an ethnicity (it's mostly Hispanic people). That's weird to me, but I am what I am. I didn't pick my circumstances in that regard so there's nothing to be ashamed of IMO.

Your thoughts on what I posted.

What, precisely, are you even saying?  Does a person have to be directly involved with the success to feel proud of that success?

Tell me, do you not celebrate when your team wins?

But somehow you want to say that only one is valid

They (we) shouldn't really think anything of it. Whites cannot control that they were born white, so they should feel neither ashamed nor proud of their race. The individuality of the person is much more important.



there is only one race on this planet, and it is the human race.

White people are a race the same way black people are a race.

 

They're not really races just classifications. I think it just makes it simpler for people. It's better classification for people in a biological sense aswell, Slavics, Whites and Arabs are all 'Caucasian Race' but that doesn't really help when outlining the differences for classification purposes.

Except blacks are a race, because they have differences between the rest.  You can't put people of the middle east and north africa into a different race than europeans, because they're genetically very similar. Their facial features and skull shapes are more comparitive too Europeans than they're too Asians or Blacks. Skin colour also is an issue, because many Europeans have different skin colours. Some can be as light as paper, while some can be quite dark. Similar thing with the middle east, only a bit darker on average.  But this is becoming an argument on biology, so I can assume we're OT now. 

Let me clarify.

White people are a race for the sake of Sociological conversation. Because it helps with clasification. But biologically, Arabs, Whites and Slavics are all the same race, but we don't refer to them as such because it makes things harder to comprehend when talking about different groups.

Seeing as this is a sociological topic, saying 'White people' is valid.



There's only 2 races: White and 'Political Agenda'
2 Genders: Male and 'Political Agenda'
2 Hairstyles for female characters: Long and 'Political Agenda'
2 Sexualities: Straight and 'Political Agenda'
