Race is an invention of 18th century Euro-American imperialists looking to justify their warmongering adventurism by dismissing their enemies as inferior beings who deserve to be conquered. "White" in particular being the most worthless label as it originally excluded large swathes of people who are today now considered "white" such as Italians, Iberians, Irish, Slavs, and Greeks. There are infinitely more important things to worry about than race. Race does not matter. Let race die.
Why don't you show some empathy and put yourself into someone else's shoes? Let's say you're French. You like being French, the culture and it's the land of your ancestors. Then, the government opens the floodgates and drastically changes the demographic and cultural landscape of essentially who you are and what represents you. Combined with a declining birth rate and the significant birth rate of migrants, you are now quite literally being replaced. That is the definition of callous, reckless and selfish. You are only further provoking people by saying "let race die, it doesn't matter". Not everyone sees the world like you and you shouldn't be trying to obligate them to. You are fermenting hatred.
Lmfao.
First, you're conflating race with culture. These are not the same thing. Anyone of any race may belong to any culture. Culture isn't something you're born with, it's something you're taught and embrace willingly.
Second, you demonstrate a fundamental inability to understand how cultures works. Cultures aren't static; they develop and grow over time by mingling with other cultures. This is normal and natural. You're not advocating the preservation of any culture, you're advocating the stagnation of your own culture. Cultures change over time. Greek culture today doesn't resemble anything of the Greek culture in 300 BC. This isn't a good or bad thing; it's a normal, natural thing. Yet Greece is still Greece and Greeks are still Greeks.
Third, it's fucking laughable that a racist is trying to accuse me of being the hateful one. *You* are the one sowing the seeds of hatred by trying to justify xenophobia. People who think like you end up doing things like the Buffalo shooting; people who think like me are the ones trying to stop those people. You are not the good guy - you are the callous, reckless, selfish one. You have no idea what empathy is or you wouldn't be a fucking racist. Please get over yourself.
