On the Topic of Race-Mixing

[Nesixar]

Individual humans are nearly identical due to the great genetic bottleneck which occurred after the Toba Eruption. All of the supposed differences between "races" are cultural pretension and none are beyond the cosmetic. A supposed "Negroid" and a "Caucasoid" are no more different from one another than two birds of the same species and subspecies with slightly different surface markings. The modern conception of race only really dates back to the Columbian Exchange and the Maafa Holocaust, and its legacy lay only in slavery and subjugation.

The future of humanity is one of increasing intercultural connexion and understanding as we begin the transition to transhumanism and technological singularity.

When I think of the ghetto, I think south side of Chicago.

And when I think of the ghetto I think of a slum.

So we're on the same page.

Define how a caged window is ghetto and not just something people do for either architectural reasons or simply because they felt like it.

Caged windows are also an aesthetic choice. This is a situation where causation does not equal correlation.

I thought so too, I don't see the leap in logic from "aesthetic choice" to "ghetto".

The only times I've ever seen caged windows outside of the hood is on second story daycares to prevent kids from falling out.

Right. But just because you've never seen it doesn't mean it doesnt exist. Just because you can't see the sun at night, does that mean it doesn't exist?

Yes. The sun dies and is reborn everyday thanks to human sacrifices.

Hmm...that makes you Aztec!

I never said I was one doing the sacrifices.

Then you're Incan.

Penguins are more genetically diverse than humans.

Not to mention that they're born with a better birthday suit.

Do you have a source for that claim?

Plus, it should honestly be common sense. Humans have been around for nothing more than a tiny pebble's worth of time in the geological scheme of things.

We just like to think we're very special.

Well, that and because we're visual and social animals. It's actually VERY important for us to be able to distinguish between one another, so we tend to notice small differences between other people and we sometimes overexaggerate those differences.

If you have bars on the windows, its the ghetto.

Today I learned I lived in a ghetto.

Apparently my aunt, who owns her own business and is rather successful, must be living in a Batswana slum. Gotta say, it's one well groomed slum.

I recall the concept of race coming from the Enlightenment really, and it was more a pseudoscience at first but people like Kant and others began taking it at truth value; so we can also sort of blame it on the 17th century this whole racism thing.

Oh okay, sounds about right. Thanks.

Nah, the Babylonian Talmud is one of the earliest works that incorporates racism iirc. It's something like 3rd or 4th century C.E.

Really, the Babylonian Talmud and racism? Well, I THINK it would make sense.

Something along the lines that the descendent's of Ham were cursed with black skin and are called degenerates, etc.
