I suppose a more racially balanced society will, ultimately, result in a more balanced perception of justice. Of course, there are dozens of instances where small minorities have exercised effective control over state process via their monopolies over the "legitimate" means of violence.

 

As for the second link: I'm not sure I agree with its validity on two fronts: First off, I think the cartographer has Peru/Western Bolivia/Northern Chile completely wrong. Secondly, I think anthropologists who go around measuring skulls and assessing skin tones have, in the past, demonstrated themselves to be among the most vile and racist humans on the planet.

ah, so they are liberals....

I think the title is somewhat misleading. Whites will still be in the majority. The other races in total will outnumber whites with the largest "competitor" being Latinos at 28%. Better lock the gates now as I'll be about 100 years old by that time. By then societies will be so homogenized that this statistic won't mean squat. Stinkin' im'grants.

[olyclimber]

well if he hates them, they must be!

 

or maybe he is judging them on another measure.

[olyclimber]

zimzam, yes, it is misleading. good point. there are all sorts of hues.

Does this mean we're finally going to be cool?

[ZimZam]

No. Just milk.

[olyclimber]

White males already are a minority.

[ivan]

white or not, i could hardly ever be confused with Being Part of the Majority

[Bug]

I'm the majority in my own mind.

[olyclimber]

I'm my own grandpa.

Is it just me or are you becoming more and more like this character every day?

 

[tvashtarkatena]

no. but you can claim oppression starting 2050.

 

I'm Irish. We've been claiming that for over a thousand years.

Does this mean we're finally going to be cool?

 

No. But maybe now we'll be able to dance.

"in a world...made of steel..."

[Pete_H]

So, if black folks like drums;

White folks dig guitar;

and Hispanics enjoy piano;

 

If we're all just light brown, what kind of music will we rock out to?

In the long term view everyone's an African & on their way to being some sort of Sino-Indian hybrid.

why did we diverge in the first place?

b/c everybody's an asshole

Mutation rate drops as you leave the equator heading south or north.

[G-spotter]

It has to do with footprint of whole species vs mobility of individual members. Speciation happens the same way.

Why did Republicunts devolve?
