On the Topic of Race-Mixing

[Sun Wukong]

Except it is. And it's not found in all mongoloids. And there's no clear line of division between mongoloids and non-mongoloids based on this criteria (many populations have the trait only in some individuals, Scandinavians for instance.)

But, again, you're pointing to absolutely arbitrary and unimportant distinctions as though they meant something. They don't.

Once again, I'll take your word for it.

Give me one example of a Mongoloid group without that trait.

Amerindians. Not all of them have it.

Physical Anthropology doesn't hold any ground in how geneticists look at humans.

Sure, they are a "legit" anthropological branch (again, ask Archreg for this, I don't know) but it doesn't mean they are accurate in this.

Given these distinctions came up in 1989 I am not sure how valid they are.

[Conserative Morality]

As a 1st generation Citizen I find that a little inaccurate. I'm sorry but if you think I hold any loyalties to the country where I was born or to the one my mother is from you are dead wrong and are completely making ignorant arguments without ever knowing an immigrant yourself. So let me enlighten you how we people in the citizenship process think (the vast majority of us anyways, I am sure there are exceptions).

We don't think "oh we're going to fuck over America"; we think "you know? We actually want to have a life and children in this land and contribute to this country which is our land now by choice." Yes, we hold our heritage and culture, but only the good values of said culture. I'm an Americanized Latino basically except for certain beliefs and cultural differences that I still have that I have found beneficial to retain because they make me a better person and gives me an advantage (such as my language and work ethics as well as racial indifference).

The truth is I have also learned how to coexist with all other cultures around me, and if that isn't what an American is supposed to do then you can kiss my ass because I learned your constitution and I know, better than you do, how I feel about America and which country I hold more loyalty to - which is the country I hold my citizenship right now. So for you to say "oh immigrants have other loyalties" is extremely dishonest and ignorant of you given that those of us who come here expect a better life and people like you just like to shit all over it by flaunting your so-called "American Heritage" at us while we prove we're much better than you and we have the self-respect not to lower ourselves to discriminate you.

Very well said.

Who's flag is on the Moon?

Wins every argument.

who got the first satellite, man, dog, woman and alot of others into space first? give you in hint...

Based Communism is best Communism

one shitty flag on the moon dosn't say anything

1957: First intercontinental ballistic missile, the R-7 Semyorka
1957: First satellite, Sputnik 1
1957: First animal to enter Earth orbit, the dog Laika on Sputnik 2
1959: First firing of a rocket in Earth orbit, first man-made object to escape Earth's orbit, Luna 1
1959: First data communications, or telemetry, to and from outer space, Luna 1.
1959: First man-made object to pass near the Moon, first artificial satellite in Solar orbit, Luna 1
1959: First probe to impact the Moon, Luna 2
1959: First images of the moon's far side, Luna 3
1960: First animals to safely return from Earth orbit, the dogs Belka and Strelka on Sputnik 5.
1960: First probe launched to Mars, Marsnik 1 (failed to reach target)
1961: First probe launched to Venus, Venera 1
1961: First person in space (International definition) and in Earth orbit, Yuri Gagarin on Vostok 1, Vostok programme
1961: First person to spend over a day in space Gherman Titov, Vostok 2 (also first person to sleep in space).
1962: First dual crewed spaceflight, Vostok 3 and Vostok 4
1963: First woman in space, Valentina Tereshkova, Vostok 6
1964: First multi-person crew (3), Voskhod 1
1965: First EVA, by Aleksei Leonov, Voskhod 2
1965: First probe to hit another planet (Venus), Venera 3
1966: First probe to make a soft landing on and transmit from the surface of the moon, Luna 9
1966: First probe in lunar orbit, Luna 10
1967: First automated, crewless rendezvous and docking, Cosmos 186/Cosmos 188. (Until 2006, this had remained the only major space achievement that the US had not duplicated.)
1969: First docking between two crewed crafts in Earth orbit and exchange of crews, Soyuz 4 and Soyuz 5

Getting some firsts still doesn't make up for the fact they lost the space race and didn't even come close to What NASA was doing. By the time Gemini was over the soviets were left in the dust. nor does it make up for the fact that much their space agency hasn't accomplished as much as Nasa since the end of the space race. Only thing Russia after the 60s did better than the US was space stations. NASA Beat them to the moon and left their unmanned program in the dust.

Also a few of the firsts you mentioned aren't that significant. (For example the first women in space was little more than a gimmick for bragging rights. Only a a tiny handful of women have flown as cosmonauts since then. And they weren't exactly treated well.) Voskhod 1 also wasn't much of an accomplishment it was literally a Vostok capsule with a
Second seat shoved inside. I also barely count Sputnik 2 given its shitty and useless
Life support system leading to Laika's death only hours into the flight.

Also short incomplete list of NASA firsts and acomplishments

First solar powered probe (vanguard)
First weather sat (vanguard)
First communications sat
First photo of earth from orbit
First sat recovered intact from orbit

Sure, they are a "legit" anthropological branch (again, ask Archreg for this, I don't know) but it doesn't mean they are accurate in this.

In evolutionary biology and cladistics, however, you need something called a diagnostic trait in order to justify creating categories within populations of organisms. A diagnostic trait could be genetic or it could be phenotypic, but it nuts allow a hypothetical observer wth no other reference point to sort the two populations from one another 100% of the time without fail.

And, of course, this is where the idea of race as a legitimate phylogenetic category falls apart; for every racial trait you can name, there are exceptions to the rule. Skin colour, blood types, mitochondrial haplogroups, epicanthal folds, none of them perfectly describe the categories that racialists want to construct.

[Blazedtown]

1st generation immigrants where born and in all probability raised in another country. That means they may have loyalties other than to their new host country. Second generation will still hold dear a good portion of the cultural values and practices of their home country, being raised by people from that country and probably speak the language of their homeland. 3rd generation will hopefully have fully Americanized with only a few traces of their home culture and language still present, while the fourth generation will only have the recipes for the good ethnic foods and the occasional awful delicacies of the home country kept around for torturing in laws.

As a 1st generation Citizen I find that a little inaccurate. I'm sorry but if you think I hold any loyalties to the country where I was born or to the one my mother is from you are dead wrong and are completely making ignorant arguments without ever knowing an immigrant yourself.

Except I do know immigrants. Lots of them. And not a single one has been worth a shit. Most of them are border hopping scum that send almost all their paychecks back to Mexico and then whine because they're broke. Not only are they leeches, but they get special treatment. For example, I was with a buddy of mine and he's friends with a guy we'll call Jorge for this story, and we get pulled over, there's some marijuana in the car, some of it mine some of it not. We all end up getting charged and pay our fines. Then come this summer I'm talking with Jorge and find out that he got that wiped off his record so he could avoid getting deported for when he tries to apply for a greencard. He's been trespassing for more than a decade and he gets his entire record scrubbed clean. If I had gone to ask if I could get that removed from my record, they'd tell me tough shit pothead, should've thought about that before you smoked reefer. Of course later I found out he told his lawyer to shred his green card application because he'd rather abuse the privilege of living here and keep sending money to Mexico rather than pay taxes on it.

You claim to come here for a better life but in my experiences Mexican immigrants would rather turn America into a colder version of Juarez.

[Nazi Flower Power]

And unless you have another valid argument other than "4 generations ago lol" your argument about making all new citizens prone to deportation doesn't hold jack shit of merit GIVEN THAT your family doesn't even go as far back as even the Civil War.

My family has been here since the 1600s.

Mine too. Let's show them immigrants who's boss, yeah?

We colonized Pennsylvania.

For my family, it was Maine.

I'm more native than anyone here claiming "I'm 1/16th Cherokee"

Not if they actually ARE Cherokee, and live in a part of the country that was originally Cherokee land.

or any Mexican immigrant who thinks that coming to America in the 1940s means that their family has lived in California for thousands of years.

OK.

"Epicanthic fold is typical in many peoples of Eastern Asia[1] and is common among Central Asian populations. It is most frequent in northeastern Asia and eastern central Asia, such as Mongolia, Manchuria, Korea, central and northern China, central and eastern Siberia and much of Japan and its prevalence decreases as one moves south and west. It is also noticed among indigenous peoples of the Arctic like Inuits and Aleuts. Epicanthic folds are characteristic of San populations in Southern Africa. It is also found in significant numbers among Indigenous Americans.[6][7][8]"

Proves my point exactly.

All Mongoloid. What is your point?

http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/189688/epicanthic-fold
What do ya know, Europeans can have it as well it seems.

Also the San are not Mongoloid. They are one of 14 ancestral population clusters, the ancestors of all human beings.

[Soldati Senza Confini]

1. I wonder who you get together with and what kind of associations you hold.

2. And so now all of us are marihuana addicts? Besides you smoking Marihuana tells me EXACTLY who you hang out with, it doesn't look good on your end.

3. Illegal Immigration =/= people who get a green card and naturalize and come from good families (nothing against illegal immigrants, I know some of them come from good families too). How you make the leap all of us immigrants are poor marihuana addicts who send our paychecks to Mexico is beyond me.

4. I'm beginning to suspect bullshit from your friend here.

5. This confirms me he was full of shit. In other words, your anecdotal evidence is bullshit because you are making a stereotype out of all of us immigrants. Some of us are proud to be here and some of us want to achieve more than what we can down in Latin America.

In my experiences most of us don't. Yes, several immigrants want to do that (but they are illegal immigrants, read: people who do not have their green card nor their citizenship) but not all of us do, and not all illegal immigrants want to do it either.

See, your issue here is that you are arguing under the incorrect assumption I and all other U.S. Citizens/Residents/Illegal Aliens are 1) illegal aliens who got their citizenship through illegal means and 2) me and others are potheads along with 3) that I and all others will hang out with someone who smokes marihuana like you when we know it's against the law and that I and all others don't have class and dignity like your friend Jorge clearly doesn't.

Just because you know several of them doesn't mean you know us all, so get off that high moral horse which shits all over the place instead of keeping a straight clean line and stop making assumptions which are not only wrong, but that have objectively no value.

For the record, I am not saying Marihuana should be illegal. I am pro-drug myself, but while it is against the law I am not too keen on people who actually break the law either. It is getting decriminalized and thank God for that, but it doesn't mean you get to assume I and others are lawbreakers simply because we're Latino or immigrants. Also I am not pro-drugs because I think I want to hit the pot, on the contrary, I just see the economic and social benefits from it. It would eliminate the black market we have helped create in Mexico for one.

You have no idea how many of us there are, and what we do for a living. I know people from all walks of life that smoke. Zoologists, nurses, cops, electricians, plumbers, farmers, firefighters, soldiers, pastors, truck drivers, cooks, accountants, mechanics.

And I never said mexicans are all potheads.

This shows that there are Mongoloids (Native Americans) without it.

The San are also not Mongoloid. The Kalahari is a far cry away from the eastern half of Eurasia and the Americas.

[Arumdaum]

So they're not Negroid then? Because you said all humans fall into one of the three categories.

Moreover not all Mongoloids possess the trait. So it fails there too.

Yes, they do. Which Mongoloid group doesn't???

And a group like the San are a mixture, like some could say Latin Americans are. They possess qualities of multiple groups. A guy with a white mom and a black dad is considered both, not one or the other.

You're mixing up the San and the Malagasy.

You also don't get a free pass in telling me that we want to make the U.S. a Northern Mexican hell hole or that people like me who have busted our ass in getting our citizenship are disloyal to America. Learn how to argue, if you can make stereotypes about me and my people as well as other immigrants and put bullshit "4 generations" rules simply because you have met at most 50 - 100 immigrants ever what gives YOU a free out of jail card into making bullshit stereotypes and not have any shit thrown back at you? Being American doesn't make you impervious to me criticizing you.

Also, I never said your smoking was bad. The fact you got caught, paid the fine, and your friend lied to you plus got out of the process without being deported does reflect on your associations.

It's an okay neighborhood. We don't have any violence and right now it's pretty quiet besides the occasional dog barking because a car or a dog is passing by. I live next to a neighbor who gets a little loud during Fridays but meh, it's Friday, and I have heavy sleep so I don't care about him.

All that's playing right now is my music in my room. Also the neighborhood is kept very clean for a Mexican neighborhood compared to the "shitholes" I keep hearing other people around the U.S. complaining about.

I've been in other parts of the Dallas County and my brother resides in Ft. Worth (and also has been all over Tarrant County, he is doing his PhD in TCU) We don't hear any complaints other than the common heat and humidity during the summer. Anything else you want me to tell you about Dallas? Or are you going to expand into Dallas and outlying areas of Denton county, Commerce, and Ennis County as well as Ranger TX and shifting the goalposts until your rabid need to corner me and go "AHA! I knew it!" is satisfied? Because if that's the case I can tell you, you won't.
