It is good in my eyes, because it means only the strong kids survived. Now the trend is for only older people to be having children because it is taking people so much more time to be able to afford to start families, which means that for a substantial portion of the world, a lot of the next generation is going to be defective innately. Genetic engineering or technologies might well need to increasingly be used to artificially make the gene pool be in better shape than it otherwise would be in.

Not really. It meant that the lucky kids survived. Diphtheria doesn't really care how strong your kid is, neither does measles or mumps or any other childhood disease. An otherwise healthy and strong baby can die swiftly from illness and an otherwise sickly and weak baby can survive the same illness. You haven't got the faintest idea what you're talking about.

Epigenetics might prove the rest of your post to be bullshit, too, but I'm no expert. A five year old child in the modern US likely has multiple generations of well-nourished forebears and will be well nourished themselves. That bodes well for future generations.

That's fine. It isn't actually a problem to most people.
The American Empire is a socially progressive absolute monarchy run by the heirs of Emperor Norton. It started off at MT but has rapidly advanced to PMT through interdimensional travel. All NSstats are used, except for tax rate and population. Factbooks are currently under reconstruction.

Most people don't really care about how the Royal Family looks, but more about what they represent. For most of recent history, the British Monarch has been ethnically German after all, despite what they all represented, why shouldn't a minor, almost irrelevant member of the royal house be half-and-half?

Most White British citizens have Germanic or Celtic roots. That's still European. A partially African child is a completely different business.

Well, that's too bad. If my country had a centuries-old royal family, I would sure find it problematic that its descent becomes extra-European.

In the particular case of the Brits, they should be fucking glad a "non-European" (and isn't that a wonderful can of worms, using ethnicity for the remnants of an Empire spanning multiple continents that essentially used integration and assimilation to "British"-ize people of said places for the larger part of the last two centuries) isn't on the fucking throne, given how the last relevant British Monarchs fucking crowned themselves as Emperors of places they'd seldom -if ever- visit.

Even if I were a nazi sympathiser, what exactly would it achieve that you openly call me one with no further information? Seems to me that you're just pulling the good old "culpability by association" card. Way more convenient to associate me with a largely reviled ideology than to properly answer my point of view, isn't it?

My country's flag or theme isn't relevant at all. This is an OOC board. I have several other countries including an anarcho-capitalist country, a totalitarian theocracy and a civil rights-based kingdom. Does this make me an anarcho-capitalist, a totalitarian religious fanatic and a monarchist hippie all at once?

Lastly, I have no idea where you see blatant racism in my statements. I didn't insult anyone based on their race. My opinion is simply that a White European country should be led by White European monarchs and that this White European monarchy deserves to remain exclusively White European. There's no hostility towards other races here, just preference towards my own in my own continent, just like I'm pretty sure most Black Africans want to be represented and led by Black Africans. What's so hard to get about that?
