If you read the following, and still believe the /pol/ view of darker skinned demographics (e.g. genetic determinism, that they are worthy of nothing but disdain), then I will be shocked. And would love to sit down with you and have a conversation, because you obviously have a better case for being racist that I've ever come across...

Preventing Violence By James Gilligan - shows how unresolved childhood/adolescent trauma, a social environment encouraging 'hypermasculinity', and literacy/education, are key factors regarding a propensity for violence.

The Locust Effect: Why the End of Poverty Requires the End of Violence By Gary Haugen and Victor Boutros - shows how environments that have chronic violence, create cycles of poverty/low income.

Why Nations Fail: The Origins of Power, Prosperity, and Poverty By Daron Acemoglu and James Robinson - Self Explanatory title.

Bad Samaritans By Ha Joon Chang - Partially makes the case, that economic and political structures in a nation need to be specifically tailored for the needs of the nation. And that what prevents a lot of nations from developing, is demanding the implementation of policies, that are not conducive to the development of the country.

Doing research into A.C.E. (adverse childhood experiences) studies. And then realizing that a lot of dysfunctional kids, had dysfunctional parents... And that it often takes persistance and therapy (self-administered and/or professional) to heal trauma and transform conditioning.

Also, reading The C.S. Lewis books...
Till We Have Faces: A Myth Retold by C S Lewis, The Great Divorce, and The Four Loves... Because he (implicitly) argues that tribalism is a low form of love, and that universal benevolence is the highest and most noble.

A lot of people on 4chan justify racism, through the crime rate and dysfunction found in darker skinned communities and nations. They conclude genetic determinism (for a bunch of reason).

The books I mentioned talk about the 'nuture' side of the argument, along with how social environment, and economics affects demographics.

A lot of people are 'good' through the grace of a relatively decent childhood, adolescence, social environment and economy, supporting their will to goodness.

To reiterate, I'm not taking away agency, people are responsible for their own character development, ultimately. But we don't develop in a vacuum.

No, it's arguing that genetic determinism =/= genetic fate.

Most racist on 4chan have done a lot of research into genetic determinism aka the nature argument, but have barely done any research into the nuture argument.

It's pretty clear whenever I debate some White nationalist that they haven't done any research into the thing I bring up, because they counter with really rudimentary objections.

>I can already tell by these book titles

I don't know why people dismiss things without doing research.

If you are a fast reader, you really have nothing to lose by reading those books, if anything they will just make you a more effective debater for genetic determinism, because you will be able to articulate the oppositions arguments better than they can.

I don't understand why anyone would dismiss books based on titles, nor do I understand why someone would not challenge their perspective by reading strong counter arguments.

>> No.14104469

Yes, because that renders the concept of genetic determinism non-sensical and unfalsifiable.

If you simply try to reterm and redefine any and every action as genetically determined, then there is nothing in contrast to it, to determine what specifically it is.

We can conceptually determine non-existence as a void. Despite us only possibly being aware of existence.

However, based on what some genetic determnists propose, there can conceptually be non opposition to genetic determinism. Because anything proposed as opposition to being genetically determined, can simply be explained as genetic determinism in disguise.

Nobody believes in that. The premise isn't even coherent.

Yes, everybody knows that crime and violence are causally related to the situation you are in and the situation you came from.
But none of that can really resolve the debate, since:
-A is a cause doesn't mean B isn't a cause too
-A being a cause doesn't mean B isn't CAUSING A

If you believe in cognitive equality among the human species there is no saving you, because at best you are a creationist in denial.
And if you do not believe in cognitive equality among the human species then the immediate conclusion is that different environments are CAUSED by different genetic makeups.

But the only way you can do that if you are literally denying evolution, since you have to claim total cognitive equality between all human groups.

>Yes, because that renders the concept of genetic determinism non-sensical and unfalsifiable.
Genetic determinism is easily fallible, that is the point of twin studies, you can have identical genes in different environments and that allows you to determine the effect of the environment.

You are conceptually stuck in a very deep bubble of the false dichotomy between "nature and nurture". Nothing in a being as complex as a human is monocausal, environments and genes are interacting with one another and they always will.
Putting yourself on one side of the interaction and claiming to that this side is "correct" is a retarded fallacy.

>And if you do not believe in cognitive equality among the human species then the immediate conclusion is that different environments are CAUSED by different genetic makeups.

I don't believe in cognitive equality, and there are rarely only 2 possible perspectives.

Just because cognitive differences may mean that a nations or community may not develop organically, it doesn't mean that they can't be developed.

An example; A lot of racists point out the IQ differences between races, and that IQ is a predictor of a propensity for violence/criminality. They also present the case that IQ is hereditary. That is a common argument made why darker skinned communities have higher crime rates.

Here are other things to take into consideration...

The recidivism rate is shown to be significantly reduced, if a convict is given the opportunity to complete a degree. James Gilligan argues because by doing the degree, the educational accomplishment gives them self esteem. Also, it can be argued that they learn delayed gratification, critical thinking skills, and practice contemplation... All things that can contribute to a 'cost-benefit' mindset, rather than an impulsive one.

Multiple studies have shown that people who read fiction, tend to have higher levels of cognitive empathy and empathic concern (care and compassion). People with higher IQs tend to read more, than people with lower IQs.

Multiple studies also have shown that people who write about their problems, experiences, and feelings - only if they use causal language - have better long term mental health.

Racists will stop there, and say that IQ which is largely genetically determined - shows that darker skinned peoples can't be helped, because only higher IQ people will implement those habits of literacy, reading literature, and therapeutic writing.

(Non Racist) Fascists and Communists, would never think like that, instead the think like this...

Implement strong educational polices, and cultural promotion of literacy, literature, and therapeutic writing.

People with higher IQs tend to be more self directed, people with lower IQs tend to need beneficial habits dictated to them.

Whereas racists would write off anyone who isn't self-directed to do things that would improve their character and mental health. People who agree with strong state planning (like myself), believe in conditioning people to implement beneficial habits. Self-directed or not, the goal is to get the majority of society to adopt habits that are good for themselves and society.

Unfortunately, people are not conditioned to implement practices that make them better people, they are often just simply told to be better people.

Like the books Bad Samaritans, Why Nations Fail, and The Locust Effect collectively argue, strong state planning is needed to develop nations.

Just because cognitive differences may mean that a nation or community may not develop organically, it doesn't mean that they can't be developed.

“Truthfully, in this age those with intellect have no courage and those with some modicum of physical courage have no intellect. If things are to alter during the next fifty years then we must re-embrace Byron's ideal: the cultured thug.”

Why? What evidence do you have of that?
This is a complete non-sequitur and I suspect a total strawman of what any "Racist" believes.
Obviously policies which reduce crime can effect low IQ populations, who would even deny that?

The entire point "genetic determinists" make is that, expecting equality from anything is bad, if you search for the ENVIRONMENTAL cause for any difference between two groups and try to fix it you are inevitably becoming totalitarian because NOTHING you do can fix this, except cutting down the group which is on top.

Is that a policy you would defend?

Of course you could fix the fact that blacks are less represented in Universities by requiring every University campus to be made up of blacks exactly representative to their share of the population.
But does that fix ANYTHING?
In Essence all you did was put people who, by any objective measure, shouldn't have been part of the University system into it, on the cost of people who actually had a place in it, but now do not.

The thing "genetic determinists" say is that you can not fix something that isn't caused by environment, by changing the environment.

>Is that a policy you would defend?

No.

That wasn't what I proposed though, and what I've proposed hasn't been implement.

That has not been widespread propaganda (I mean that in a positive way) encouraging underprivileged people (from trailer parts, to inner cities) to be literate, read literature, and to do therapeutic writing, using; 'celebrities', providing summer camps.

Capitalists promote materialism and hedonism, not education and contemplation. I'm sure you are aware of the sheer volume of propganda in TV, films, and mainstream media in general promoting materialism, and hedonism. (Look at the degeneracy that Hip Hop promotes to the Black community.)

IMO until that same volume of propaganda from the mainstream media and hip hop, is directed towards promoting literacy, literature and contemplation, then I don't think it's warranted to say with any degree of certainty what the 'limit' is, regarding social development.

Again, I'm talking about encouraging systematically via propaganda and public funding of mandatory education, the development of emotional intelligence. That IMO has not been done.

Thomas Sankara is an example of what strong leadership can do for a nation. If you look at what the country was like under his leadership, and then how the country was after his leadership, IMO that is a good example of what I mean.

Also, despite the notoriously professed IQ level of hispanics on /pol/. The Cuban healthcare system that Castro's leadership created was a damn near miracle. Despite the U.S. cutting them off from any medicine or medical technology made or patented by U.S. companies, they created healthcare outcomes that are mind blowing when you look at them.

Again... Strong leadership. (Note: I DO NOT support everything that Castro did, however the healthcare system that the leaders of Cuba created is something that 'should' be theoretically (according to racists) impossible due to the Hispanic low IQ and alleged genetic propensity for violence.

I think that a lot of people underestimate the power of conditioning.

Thankfully though, the military, fascists, and communists don't. At least they are keeping the power of conditioning alive in political discourse.

The issue here is that a person with an IQ of 80 will never be a mathematician and if a government tries to force this, it can only end in disaster.

Don’t worry man, you’re on the right track. A lot of black issues largely spawn from capitalist conditioning and other sorts of collective psychological elements. This is obvious to anyone who has read about the effect of capitalism on the psyche as well as things such as racism and other systematic oppressive forces. >>14104719 idea regarding this sort of irreconcilable IQ deficit is nothing but quasi-intellectualized cynicism and blatant racism. I’m speaking from experience as a black teacher in a black school in the hood, little black kids want to learn and are incredibly aware of the issues of their environment as how they function largely as a stack of cards against them. They display beautiful amounts of creativity, willingness to learn critical thinking, as well as other skills congenial to success that arise from proper education and home lives but there are simply too many factors to overcome with every student. Many children have very low levels of self-confidence and don’t even trust their ability to rise above their circumstances, despite showing pockets of genuinely good thinking given the proper situation I.e receiving the attention necessary to feel validated. It’s not even just «changing the environment» it’s a whole socio-cultural structure and psychology that we have been trying to address intracommunally for years. It’s not easy, and is maybe even a quixotic endeavor, but certainly nothing to be so cynical over and narrow-minded about, especially if you are not black, have not worked in public education in urban environments, or even have a morsel of understanding regarding black American culture.

If YOU read those books and think they have a solid case, you’re just actually a retard. Obviously, it’s not just genetic determinism. Very few people actually believe that. It’s not just muh hyper-masculine, muh trauma nurture vs nature bullshit either. Most people believe it’s a combination of both, but it’s awfully hard to continue to give your environmental factor argument validity when you insist it’s the ONLY cause and yet everyday we see the complete opposite to be true. I live in a small small town with a sizable black population. There is no poverty here as nearly everyone who lives here works for one organization that hands out cushy high income jobs like candy. It’s extremely progressive and most households are two parent households. There’s no ghettos, we excellent living conditions, unbelievably easy and cheap access to healthcare and mental healthcare, excellent public schools, etc. Niggers still commit quite literally all of the crime including the violent crime. I worked Security for 5 years. In a town like this, I almost never had a problem. The 10% of the time that I did, it was almost always a nigger trying to literally get away with a crime. Not even going into actual crime, they’re just objectively difficult to live with. We have a beautiful quiet park with wildlife and it’s not uncommon to have a pleasant day ruined by a black family who insists on bringing a boom box to blast rap music at high volume while their 9 kids run around throwing rocks at people and breaking things. The other kids are generally well behaved. Anyone with eyes can see it happening. Asian and Hispanic families are generally fine and seem to do better generationally.

Even if you do make the argument that there’s something negative perpetuating this behavior internally in their household or community, doesn’t that make it worse?

There is a fixed limit to what any person can do and if he/she tries to become more, he/she will end up miserable.

I don't know why people focus so much on all these ultimately ancillary arguments. Humanity is comprised of genetically divergent populations (many would say subspecies) -- it is not a monolithic and uniform group.

There is nothing strange or evil about wanting your ethnicity or genetic cluster to survive and be uncontested in their own nations. This is the default position for almost all peoples of the world, and it has taken significant long-term indoctrination to train whites to think otherwise. If you -truly- think that human diversity is a good thing, then you should find the non-white invasion of white nations to be abhorrent.

From a purely practical racists' point of view, it doesn't really matter why brown-race-X has a tenancy for violence and crime.

Ignore humans for a second, and think of it as nature. You and your family are about to take a vacation and you ponder whether to take a plane, train, or car to get to your destination. You determine that it is statistically likely that taking the car is probably the most risky due to some reason or the other, so you avoid that method.

Then some car enthusiast neighbor begins indignantly disparaging you for dismissing cars and starts talking about how it was because drivers are poorly educated and the driver's license system is poorly implemented as to allow shitty driver's on the street. Cars are inherently safe and you're a moron for avoiding it.

I mean, sure. Maybe that guy is right. But at the end of the day, right now, as we speak, it is statistically more dangerous to travel by car than some of the alternatives, I don't care why.

Is there something that would counter my point in a logical way so I can stop being a racist? Yeah, not all brown people are bad. Hell, I think most brown people are ordinary people. It still doesn't mean I would be totally ok with all of my neighbors being all-brown because lol-I'm-not-racist-at-all in spite of statistically significant information suggesting I would be less safe for it.

>failing that hard at understanding IQ
At given IQ range you'll have entire bell curve spread of everything IQ correlates with, good or bad, it's just that the average will shift with different ranges. However nobody says - hey look - basketball players make good money and most of them are black - to deny that there's income disparity between races, pretty much universally wherever you have multiracial society. Similarly crime rate may not be necessarily bad thing, same as poverty or single motherhood. However, if people didn't care about them and saw them as "evil" things in society, they'd just accept the disparity of incomes, wealth, incarceration rate between people of different ethnicity kind of like they accept that pregnancies last 9 months. As they do, most of the time in Singapore, where Malays and Indonesians form an underclass to Chinese overclass - now asia being a completely different place culturally, they don't have to explain it with IQ as they just accept it without asking question "why is the current order the way it is?".
That isn't however, the case. Instead you hear about how asians are overrepresented in elite universities and the minorities proper(not-asians) NEED a leg up and it's a good thing that it happens. Instead you hear that the only cause for blacks being less wealthy than whites is discrimination(after institutions were nominally purged off it and it didn't change much they've started looking for some subconscious bias on every single level of the society, instead of just recognising the obvious). You can be an "individual" and disagree with some notions about positive or negative qualities of various factors, but you will then support people who do support the notions and want to forcefully "straighten the wrongs" where there are none, which makes people like me question the intentions of individuals like you.

True. The "darker skinned communities" didn't develop in a vacuum either. It's the environment that shaped them into what they are, genetically.

In the stone age you died before 30 but at least you could die knowing it'd be thousands of years before niggers found out how to get past the Mediterranean and pollute your cool white gene pool. But here we are, it's almost 2020 and every white person in North America has pictures of disgusting fucking niggers rubbed into their eye-sockets every moment of every day and there's nothing anybody can do about it. You can't complain, you can't cave a nigger's face in, you can't get niggers out of your neighborhoods, you can't get niggers out of your schools, you can't get niggers out of your workplace. You can't even run off to where there aren't niggers already because it's just a matter of time before some liberal politician or conservative "civnat" cuck imports niggers there because of "muh diversity" and "muh economics".

Good to see a hilarious mangling of logic in here that I forgot about but have seen on /his/ plenty of times. I call it "Schrodinger's Criminal".
The idea that a population with a high degree of criminality is more criminal than the rest of the population not because they actually commit more crimes, but because someone sees their crimes being committed more consistently. Basically that over-policing CAUSES crime to come into being, and a few funny implications flow from this. One being that if seeing crime causes crime, crime is both not happening and not bad if it is happening, because you can stop crime from happening by not prosecuting it.

The second and more obvious one is that since certain populations only have higher crime rates because the police see their crime at higher rates, there are phantom rapes, murders, and burglaries happening wherever the police are not currently looking. In fact, I see now that if the world were different and the police and courts were prejudiced against THOSE groups instead, their phantom crimes would be converted to real crimes. Thus in white suburbia many thousands of people walk around in a phantasmagorical state of life-undeath, because, as we know, every population is equally criminal; it's just that the police haven't seen your murder and the courts haven't spoken him into being.

The idea behind the position that you're characterizing is not that policing causes crime to come into being. The idea is rather that policing is more stringent in certain areas, and thus, that there are more arrests, and thus more convictions in such areas.

Now, I agree that there is certainly more crime in some communities than others. However, those communities are crime-ridden because of poverty and despair, not because of race.

Now, if certain "races" have been consistently singled out for discrimination for decent public education (see white flight, where whites fled integrated neighborhoods, leaving behind only the most impoverished minorities and few of the blue collar jobs they needed to survive), they're going to be poor at higher rates than other groups. If police can immediately determine that a person is likely poor and thus more likely to commit crimes by looking at their skin color, they will target more of that type of person for arrests, crisis, &c.

If you want to read books to become less of a racist, try the following:

-racism without racists by bonillo-silva
-where do we go from here by MLK
-when work disappears by Wilson

> "if the government that enforced segregation and black emancipation kicked my dog everyday etc"
Genuinely don't get it, can you explain further?

You are saying that the government should atone for its sins, but the government -is- a collective. So the impression I get from you is that your answer to my question would be a "yes, "I" refers to to the collective known as the American people who voted for and approved of such a government"

Go ahead and correct me if I'm wrong, I'm genuinely curious as to what your logic is.

>I simply meant that there may be more reasons to why this proverbial dog attacked someone,
Yes, there may. I don't think anybody here is actually arguing against that. Can you point to a specific sentence in my posts that says something of the sort?

Thank you. That clarifies things.

But from a practical standpoint, I don't want my 3 year old getting his/her fingers getting bitten off so if there is a statistically significant and readily visible way to decrease such risks, I will avoid living in neighborhoods with dogs or people, as abused and impoverished as they may be, that are violent.

On the other hand, I certainly agree that you shouldn't actively abuse dogs or people. That's just being a bad person.

But do understand that I resent people that call me a bigot for avoiding improvised abused people and dogs that will hurt me. If this makes me a racist, so be it. At least my family is safe and healthy.

Indeed, it's one of many hypocritical games we play as adults. Shaming people for their sexual desires is a similar one.

Most of us probably agree that we shouldn't be rude to people, just because they belong to a less desirable category (black, white, male, female, ugly, weak, lazy, violent ...).
But we regularly engage in discrimination when we celebrate and reward the desirable traits (beauty, strength, intelligence, industry ...). So some people always lose and they can make a somewhat legit case for being oppressed.

It can be hard to come to terms with these contradictions if you're kinda autistic or if you engage in autistic debates like this thread, where people look for a logical solution. There is no solution to racism or discrimination in general. People will always have idealistic/supremacist tendencies and (groups of) people will always be less than ideal.
You could remove the less desirable races, which would get rid of racism for a while, but there's no guarantee that something similar won't emerge it in the future. Someone will always be at the bottom.

"get rid of" is what you would do with a dog, but you can quite do that with humans, nor is it ethical. But what you can do is get away-from, which often gets called "white flight" in the west, and labeled as "Racist" more often than not. I'm saying, that's not bigoted in and of itself, and such a one-sided view often adopted uncritically empathetic to one side (the brown minorities) at the expense of being unsympathetic and asshole-like to the other.

>but then you say that it is only that you don´t want to live in an impoverished or criminal area, which is almost self-evident,
I agree, it's self evident. Unfortunate that it's so often called racist and bigoted.
>I don´t really believe these criminals want to live there either.
Yes, I would imagine so.

>So, what is it that you want exactly, or think should be done?
I'm not advocating for a specific action here, just that maybe a more careful approach to "racism" ought to be considered. Strawmaning "racists" as just hillbilly retards that just don't get that social factors have a serious impact on demographics is hardly helpful, which I felt was implied reading posts like >>14104402.

it’s only when you get to the formations of ‘ethnic nationstates’, a relatively new concept based on power over a population, that the whole idea of eugenics comes up as an issue. once you tightly define a population by its ethnicity you get inbreeding and defects... but i suppose you are arguing for eugenics combined with a strong ethnostate, yes? fucking well done

Because technically, it is racist. What you're trying to say is that what you're doing shouldn't be considered "evil" (=the true meaning of the word "racist" nowadays). The first thing to do if you want to break free from the conditioning is question the language people use.

Just accept the fact that you are a racist.
And you're also a sexist because you probably wouldn't date a man and an ageist because you wouldn't date an 80 year old. And so on and so on.

Now, is this kind of discrimination, which gets you labeled all kind of -ist things, actually "evil"? In a way it certainly is. The brown person you stop at the border or the man or the 80 year old you reject could all get offended, because you're being selfish and inconsiderate and they're not getting what they want.
The question is whether you accept this kind of framing or not.

The eugenics I'm talking about here is just the natural tendency to discriminate for the purposes of reproduction. Even animals do it.
If reproduction is easy and you don't have strong pressures that select for smarter or stronger individuals (as is the case in the modern era) you end up with dysgenic effects.
It's a fact that on average dumber people are reproducing more than smart ones now. But this wasn't the case 300 years ago. Read that book or at least a summary.

even black athletes, 100m sprint... it’s weirdly a cultural thing that allows afro-americans to be so good at it, as continental africans in general aren’t all sprinting gods, and afro-american slaves weren’t eugenically bred to fucking run.

Like I said, skin color is incidental. I don't care. -BUT- if I see an area that is 90% populated by "brown" people, then I will not want to take my children there. I believe this is racist, -but- I believe I am not bigoted for it. On the other hand, I will welcome my brown coworkers in to my house and play with my children because they are individuals.

It isn't a cultural thing, blacks tend to have a higher percentage of type II muscle fibers compared to other races, which is a significant advantage for sprinting. The reason Kenyans are good endurance runners is because they tend to have longer legs and shorter, less heavy torsos -- again, genetic. Race is obviously more than skin colour, and making snarky comments reducing it to such makes you seem even more stupid.

Statistics clearly tell us that there are average differences in behaviour and outcomes between ethnicities that circumstances alone don't explain. Basing your policies upon the existence of outliers that you empathize with instead of the average is disastrously unwise.

Aside from all that, it is entirely obvious that human populations diverge.

Racism is stupid because it takes an irrelevant thing like skin colour and judges people based on that. Blacks are dumber on average than whites and whites are dumber on average than yellows but that tells you nothing about the individual black person, who could be a intelligent, white person, who could just be average, or yellow person, who could be a retard.
“Racial nationalism” is also completely retarded. So blacks on average have low IQ, yeah, but blocking them from entering your country casts way too wide a net, since you’ll be blocking out the smart blacks and letting in the dumb whites or yellows. If you care about IQ you push for a minimum IQ requirement for immigration to your country. But racial nationalists don’t care about IQ, they just use it as a proxy for their retard ideology.

There is more variance within races than there is between them. Even the Bell Curve (which I doubt any racial nationalist is capable of reading) admits this repeatedly.

It's not tolerant at all. Also I'd throw out there that the anons making posts about race not meaning anything are white, as minority anons are encouraged to celebrate their diversity.

The arguments are wrought with evident fallacies that are clear to those who hear them. You have to teach one to be colorblind, people naturally see racial differences.

Checked.

I think that's true, but in a funny way... It's like pic related meme, at a low IQ people 'understand' such discrimination on an instinctual level. With somewhat higher IQ, people become more empathetic (empathy benefits from abstraction), but aren't smart enough to assess their empathetic impulses critically and moderate them. Properly high-IQ people are able to understand the wisdom of such discrimination from an analytical perspective.

But change is inevitable anon... Europeans are already a very diverse genetic cluster, there is little risk of inbreeding problems and eventually we'll have self-directed 'evolution'. There is, however, a significant risk of outbreeding depression, especially with highly divergent populations like Africans.

Change will always happen, there's no risk of true stagnation or sterility for a population that survives. What you're revealing is that you want to recklessly destroy norms (without considering their purpose or consequence for doing so) because you fetishize progress and a delusional sense of moral superiority.

A different way to put my point across;
Diversity anons, congrats, you are now in charge of the USA. You must pick 1 of 2 things, and explain why you picked them.

1. End black history month
2. Add white history month

If you dont pick and explain why you cede your argument and racists win forever in real life.

i’m not necessarily pro-arbitrary diversity, i’m not necessarily pro-bullshit liberal clintonite, i’m just saying that this level of faith in ethnic nationhood is a waste of your own energy and inherently fails to tackle the issues of meaning and direction that you are looking for. As i also think for black americans.

What you're ignoring is that the people who exist in that far future will be created by those who persist in the near future. They will inevitably inherit characteristics from their creators.

Your confusion about populations stems from your ignorance in genetic matters. There are simple tests which will show those various peoples belong to genetic groups that have been around for thousands of years. Yes, there is churn as well, but the churn within the European genetic cluster isn't as harmful to biodiversity as rapidly introducing large populations of people with dominant genes via modern mass migration.

Your argument basically boils down to: 'Nothing good lasts, so to hell with trying preserve it', which is pathetic and absurd.

Where did I say that? I just said it's repellent to preserve a people or a culture in aspic and deny them the ability to grow or change.

Some choose to procreate outside of their ethnicity, some choose not to. Why do people like you have to constantly rub your morals in the face of those who choose not to? Why do you get angry and resort to profanity?

it’s not really that ignorant. sure, some people in german feel themselves to be bavarian rather than german, while some feel themselves to be more german. others still see themselves as christian, or democrats, or jedi

but most of the time, this type of belief system exists for the benefit of power. in most countries like germany for instance, there are legal limits on how you can name your child which enforces a kind of cultural normativity.

this to me, is clearly a cultural dogmatism, which i am against

The impact and persistence of epigenetic factors is still very much under debate, and in any event wouldn't make that anon wrong... Your DNA is the critical determing factor of phenotypical expression during your lifetime; you aren't going to evolve new traits, and any stimulus or epigentic signals are only producing variable expression of the genetics you already have.
