I don’t really understand white supremecy from a fundamental level. Like, genetically, we’re pretty crap. If there were racial selection on the character creation screen of life, I wouldn’t have rolled this inferior shit.
There are no biological races in humanity. Nothing that can be compared to dogs for instance. On top of that “white” as a biological marker to define a group makes as much sense as “tall” or “small hands”, ie: none.
We humans are pretty varied lot, people have wanted to create categories for ages and have done so, but those are social categories.
Yeah, like most everything, it’s a social concept.
You are thinking about it way more than any white supremacist does
With your logic, enlighten us to which race you’d choose to be? A “Master race” if you will.
Khajit.
I’d be very torn between Khajiit and Argonian.
“i have the wares if you have the coin”
transformer. fucking transform into a godamm tank would be sick.
MotoGP
I’m tempted to say something famous like the Indy 500, but I think I would be a simple 5K
Depends where I’d geographically end up. Whatever genetic traits benefit that the most and also what I want to do the most.
For starters, I’d be preferring more melanin, but I still like my northern EU frame for swimming. Hmmm…but I would like longer legs for running. Also more east asian hair for convenience.
Having Nordic height is convenient too, but the weight is rough when falling so African lakes region is good for that.
My spawn point is prob somewhere around the Pacific. Sailing and surfing will be my jam, so if I had to select a preset, probably Tongan, but I’d rather.customise.
I dunno, what would you pick?
If there’s a house shoe theory for eugenics, you’d be the poster child.
Thats why they are the way they are. They know the only way they keep the power is doing shady ass shit.
No. Most racists are not people in power, and having “inferior” white skin (not a downgrade, just a sidegrade for the combination of northern latitudes and agriculture) applies to a lot more people than just the racists.
The reason that they are the way they are, is that it’s an easy outlet for the anger caused by probably a myriad of reasons, some common, some more specific to the person in question. I’d be willing to bet that financial insecurity caused by neoliberalism is pretty high up on that list for many, and that’s why the actually powerful people like to promote racism to divert the anger elsewhere.
White people are better at drinking milk and absorbing vitamin D.
Spending all day inside and sexually abusing cows, that’s what whiteness is good for.
nice racism.
Sorry, but it’s biological fact that pale skin aids vitamin D absorption and that the lactose tolerance gene originated in and is most common in Europe. White people have evolved adaptations to aid in the loser NEET lifestyle.
Sometimes I look at how my BPD has fucked up my life, and then I look at incompressible statements like this.

Don’t claim some races are inferior to others, you are only encouraging them.

White people are great at getting rheumatoid arthritis too!

The genetics and geographical aspects defining races are entirely a product of social behaviour favouring traits over others. It has been a very long time since our species contended with natural selection, and instead it’s also with social selection from mindsets entirely like yours.
If your brain’s going to where it went, you’re either simple or so racially conscious, you only think in social racial traits 👍
You can accuse the sun of being racist when the truth is, like all species on the planet, genetics are geographically disposed to benefit their environment. I can confidently say that those of western and central Europe have less genetic fortitude for other environments and situations around the planet. Just as a Clydesdale doesn’t race and a Thoroughbred doesn’t haul load.
Get your head out of the social racist gutter. I’m allowed to be displeased with my genetic traits, especially when I never had a say in the matter.

What do you mean “what”?

Nah, I think your brain is just defaulting to social concepts of race which is kind of ironic. It was confusing, but that seems to be the case after all.
But not enjoying the negative traits of my genetic composition and wishing I could substitute them with others is totally fine. If there was a race of humans with wings, you better fucking believe I find that a cool trait to have. They’d be ugly bat-like ones with skin and shit, but the benefits would be too good to pass up. If you want to acknowledge the social concepts of racial inferiority or superiority to the wings, or even subscribe such concepts, that’s all you. But, as you would note in my original comment, these sorts of ideas are silly to me.
And I know what horseshoe theory is. It’s mention makes absolutely no contextual sense, but it is highlighting where some people’s brains disturbingly wander off to. Won’t be dragging me along, though.
