Where will race go?

I assume that most people around these forums are whites, because whites are more learned than blacks. So I ask white men and women that where is the white race heading to? Why is white race a minority. I am a nonwhite, and what do you think about saving your race.

As most people in the world are either Chinese or black, if all the races fuse togather, where would the whites go? I mean being a minority whites will fuse into being nothing, wont it be an injustice? And even if some race mixing occurs all races will fuse only to an extent and the hybrids will form a new race and start striving like the mestizos and mullatos. So there will still be inequality. My country is an classic example of race-mixing and there is still racism based on skin color, so how are whites thinking that if they all mix then there will be no inequality, they fatheads?

I don’t think people think that race mixing will get rid of inequality.

Bhaskar,

The issue of race has been the basis for discrimination for centuries. Perhaps for thousands of years, but good science has put to rest the idea that there is any inherent differences in the capacities of humans based on color. Color can no longer be a valid excuse for discrimination,but rest assured that we will continue to discriminate. In India, there is caste, in the West there is class, there are myriad ways of making distinctions that excuse discrimination. Humans find many ways to create ways to say us and them and unfortunately, this will probably never change.

So to answer your question: The mixing of colors (race) will undoubtably continue, but there will always be groups in all colors who will discriminate on the basis of color alone. Whites aren’t alone in this silliness, and those who use race to discriminate are… fatheads, regardless their color. :wink:

In the melting pot… ( Help me…I’ve seem to be melted.)

Race is just an excuse for exploitation.

Even in the fairest of situatio you can expect one person to abuse another.

that’s physics.

Wonderer,

Not all situations are exploitation and the abuse of one by another isn’t physics. That people discriminate is one situation, but not all interpersonal relations are discriminatory.

no but they are inevitable.

race will go to the checkered flag…

Race is a construct. Eventually the races that we recognize will fade away and be replaced with other, new races or other forms of division. The in-group/out-group distinction is quite strong.

Of the major races, the Black Africans are the global minority, no? Not to mention the Austronesian and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders.

We white skinned folks have nothing to sweat about. We seem fairly adept at taking what we need to survive. We took other cultural accomplishments and claimed it as our own . Invented ideas were taken from others and then adapted. Laziness is the true mother of inventions.
The most important civlizing ideas were not from whites , they just borrowed the things and made them better or different. Now don’t get me wrong it takes intelligence and foresight to control steal and adapt. Something that whites did historically very well. It certainly does not make them superior. Whites did not come up with the first written language nor did they build the first civilized cities nor did they come up with indoor plumbing. These are things that came from other cultures. And almost beyond any argument, the most important ideas any human has had. As far as looks, Brad Pitt will end up fat and ugly unless he has Doctors to create a lie. Money buys beauty. And speaking as a white woman, Brad Pitt looks too pretty, for me thats a turn off.

IMO, there is only one race: human. That there are different colors and other pronounced physical characteristics has to do with geographical adaptation and little else. But as
Xunzian points out, it is simply an easy and obvious way to establish ingroup/outgroup divisions. It would be wonderful if we could get past it, but I doubt that we ever will. Us - them is the way humans do business.
