Those aren't mistranslations, a mistranslation is an error in the translation,
an example of a mistranslation would be translating "seed" to meant "race", they aren't even close to the same thing.

The NIV however

You do realise that the KJV is over 80% word-for-word identical to the Geneva Bible, right?

The WIN/Gallup End of Year Survey 2013 found the US was perceived to be the greatest threat to world peace by a huge margin, with 24% of respondents fearful of the US followed by: 8% for Pakistan, and 6% for China. This was followed by 5% each for: Afghanistan, Iran, Israel, North Korea. -LINK

The reason behind this is because if you read up on why and how the KJV was translated into English there was a good enough reason for it not to be translated. Because there is notable mistranslations in the KJV.

It doesn't matter what it was translated from.... it was primitive shit to begin with and no amount of tinkering was going to make it better.

One would think those primitive religions would have died off.

Example:

Ezra 9:2 "They have taken some of their daughters as wives for themselves and their sons, and have mingled the holy race with the peoples around them. And the leaders and officials have led the way in this unfaithfulness."

Maybe you should write merrium webster and tell them, because they seem to think differently.

That's not entirely true, it did represent a significant improvement over the Geneva Bible. But it was still based off it. They still used the Vulgate. The OT was heavily influenced by both the Vulgate and the LXX. They also used Novum Instrumentum omne (3rd edition)/"Textus Receptus" which represents the incorrect text of the NT as the primary textual basis of the NT and the Complutensian Polyglot Bible as the tertiary source. So they made a number of errors in their assumptions of the importance and validity of certain textual sources that they used.
