Quote:there's a problem right there. slavs are and have always been a very genetically and culturally diverse group, with lots of mutual hostility. and they inhabit south and central Europe as well.Like any other group. The word "slavic" or any other racial word isn't meant to mean "one group" because every group is diverse. Portuguese people are Mediterranean but we have people with brunette skin, blue eyes, brown eyes, dark hair, etc. The words to describe ancestry work as a general indicator but don't mean everyone is similar... Let's look at asians, they may look the same to us but for a Japanese a Korean or a Chinese they are different and there's hostility, in fact in Japan it's frequent to look down upon on interracial marriage.
Quote:how black is black enough for you?
I've already cleared up that part about being black to fight for black rights. Don't ask me that question, ask black activists. Usually, a bit of noticeable black ancestry seems enough. Yeah we all have it, but in some people it's more noticeable. For black activists in America a little of black ancestry seems acceptable. Someone like Obama could perfectly be a Black activist without a problem.
Quote:Hate to tell you, everyone on earth today has 100% African ancestry. Even the Neanderthal bits you may have are still ultimately African in origin.
Yeah, but this is the kind of irrelevant strawman. I know race isn't a thing biologically and we are all related. That's not the point. The point is that we have evolved with physical differences that affect others' prejudices and causes things like racism. If everyone had the same ancestry, we would look alike. Some people have evolved with lighter skin, others' with darker. Eventually we named one group "white" and the other "black". Those are just definitions for different ethnic groups with ancestors from different places.
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
