Why don’t white people realize how fortunate they are? Not referencing white privilege, either. Do you know what happens throughout the world when an ethnic minority or majority achieves power after being oppressed by another ethnic group for centuries? Slaughter homie. Lots of slaughter. Black Americans are too docile to even demand repayment for the educational and financial opportunities lost from slavery and the subsequent anti black institutions.

Christ America confuses me. The country ridicules an ethnic group that was very recently prevented from working certain jobs for insisting that such policies had lasting effects and in turn requesting external balancing. Utterly confusing.

Yikes this is a low iq post, ironic. Racial identity is not a natural thing, it was forced upon those same minorities you despise. It’s not a natural insecurity, these groups are made aware of their race via external means. Congrats on being white tho, suck that you didn’t get the benefits of a high iq or reading comprehension.

Oh man. You seem to conflate ethic identity with the broader and more recent phenomenon of racial identity, particularly the negroid/caucasoid/mongoloid trichotomy that you almost certainly subscribe to. The Romans, Gaelic and Goths did not see themselves under this umbrella of whiteness.

This racial insecurity is entirely artificial. It’s an arbitrary boundary based around melanin content with no regard for shared language, mythology or experience. The fact that this arbitrary distinction guides the experience of all non white people in this country is not their fault.

>"Black Americans are too docile to even demand repayment for the educational and financial opportunities lost from slavery and the subsequent anti black institutions."
i wouldnt even know how this would work.
no one in the 1960s was likely alive to have had the status as "former slave holder"
anti-black institution is also hard to define. some of them can probably easily be pinpointed
>Klu Klux Klan
but at most you would be able to draw some funds for the local black community

>"The country ridicules an ethnic group that was very recently prevented from working certain jobs for insisting that such policies had lasting effects and in turn requesting external balancing"
part of the backlash stems from this idea in America that "you dont pay for the sins of your father."
other backlash also comes from zero-sum game feeling people get, such as academic admission to select universities that only have so many open spots
>black kid bumped in over a more qualified candidate based on the color of his skin
theres a lot of other relevant questions to ask, such as "how do you even define qualified" or "is exam XYZ even a good measure for determining admission?" but i dont think anyone can just hand-waive the Juden wondering how come he didnt get into Harvard even though Tyrone did, despite the fact Tyrone had a lower SAT score.

Key distinction here. Racial identity is externally formed and then applied to a group. Ethnic identity comes from shared values and experience and should Ben formed by the ethnicity. Some ethnic groups are artificial a la the Tutsi and Hutu dynamic but those are outliers

What are you talking about?

What determines whether or not there are “enough” similarities? Those Asian peoples did not share a religion, language or cuisine. If you look at language trees there’s not as much overlap as you would think given that they are all of the same race. They don’t even look all that similar when you consider Indians and Pinoys.

I agree with you on that of course, since that’s the definition of ethnicity, but his more important point is that race is not definable, only ethnicity can be. Which can’t be a popular opinion, as that anon was claiming. If race is a social construct as he says, then it requires a population who still categorise people by race. The very concept of three/four races requires people to be uninformed about 20thc anthropology, and since those categories are still in use the vast majority of people aren‘t familiar with those studies.

Anyways, I have changed my mind and become a little bit more knowledgeable today, so good job that anon I guess.

A currency that has existed for 15 years is surely an excellent way to determine race.
>Both countries speak english as a second language.
That’s not true. The second official language of Finland is Swedish. Besides, English is the primary adminstrative in many places in Africa. Are they they also included in this race?
>both countries were polytheistic until christianity
...as were African countries. Greece concerted to christianity first naturally and the work was completed by an imperial ban on other religions. Finland and Africa were forcibly converted by invaders.
>Don't you think Europe, Africa, and Asia have unifying historical trends, geographies, perhaps even governments?

I work at a title 1 school (99% black) and Im also a non white immigrant. I’m going to assume you’ve never seriously interacted with a black community that lives in poverty, so you’re speaking without any real familiarity. From my personal experience working a community like that, I don’t think most people could live a single day as a poor black person. Even putting the ideological questions on race aside, the material condition of the average black person living in poverty is beyond miserable.

I don't know what racial theory you think people are defending but this notion that there is no biological component to our behavior is absolutely insane. Birds aren't taught how to build nests. Its in their DNA so why should humans not exhibit some comparable behavior? You might attack this idea as some psuedoscientific 19th century gobbledygook but why aren't you equally skeptical of the prevailing 21st century psuedoscientific social science? The assumption that everything is rooted in environmental causes does not reflect empirical reality.

These groups evolved in radically different environments. Is it wrong to believe that these people might behave differently because of these differences in biology? Is this what you mean by racial theory?
