Yeah but they couldn't use race as an excuse to repress others, so technically racism would end even if prejudice does not.
False. Using term 'xxx' does nothing to elimate the use of term 'xxx'. You're a few years late, as race has already been eliminated as a source of conflict, theoretically.
I don't understand. I didn't say ending racism ends all prejudice. "racism would end even if prejudice does not." I don't see how that could be misconstrued. Racism is a subclass of prejudice, so you can end racism whilst not end prejudice.
In a world with only non-jewish white people: gingers will be the next minorities. Followed by aryans and albinoes. you could always pick on the many different languages of the white race. retards and kids with muscular dystrophy. atheists and rich people. There will always be a scapegoat for people to blame for their troubles it is just part of how human society typically functions.
People can invent new races. Many antisemites decided that Judaism was not just a pagan religion, but its own racial group. What if enough people did the same thing, but with warcraft players and warhammer players? Race was constructed hundreds of years ago, so who says that it can't be constructed again?
Well if they are going after people for having brown eyes or making up new races it's not really racism anymore. Why hasn't wakinglife admitted he is wrong yet?
I think Utilitarian is right, eventually, everyone not blue-eyed and blonde-haired would be killed, and being that those are both recessive genes, the inbreeding would be far worse than if any other set of characteristics had been chosen... except for if they'd chosen red-haired green-eyed people to live... who are such a minority that the inbreeding would be debilitating within two or three generations. If nothing else, the inbreeding would kill them before they could even come up with a new definition for 'race', unless they defined the mutated ugly babies as another 'race', but that'd just be silly.
An old Chinese saying says "man who lose one bad habit, soon find another". Humans classify. They can't help themselves because of the way the mind itself operates. The trick is not in avoiding, but steering. When we classify according to race, it will get us into trouble. If we get past that, it will go on with classification of something else. Wealth. Religion. Politics, etc. x
Yes, it would end racism, because there would be only one race. You are right. But I think it's a very bad idea. So why are you bringing this up?
Well the nazis chose race to make skapegoats because it was the easiest, they did not choose wealth, religion and politics as people would find it harder to take them seriously. The less racial difference, the more difficult it is for future people to take the fascists seriously, that's all. I'm bringing this up because I think we should all become nazis.
I think there is far easier ways to erdaicate racism, than to pick a race and kill the rest. Alright, if you are going on the Natzi model, do you fit the bill?
then this one rase, would start devloping themself from witch corner of camp theyr lived,, and hey,,, someone different there, and there we go againe with racism
Race is a construct which has no basis in fact. The fact is, right now, there is really only one race, the human race but there is still racism. So what you say is not true.
Actually, the nazis went after people for all of these reasons... One of the biggest reasons the jews were an easy target was that it was a common belief that they had all of the money. Additionally, the nazis also killed communists and anyone else who disagreed with them politically. And being that judaism is a religion, that argument holds no wait at all, not to mention that nazism borders on being a religion (mysticism, messiah, etc.) itself and kills all non-members, and therefore would require the death of all people of non-nazi faiths.
Racism is an erroneous term. It would imply different species of animals hating each other beause of beliefs of superiority and inferiority. Ethnic discrimination is what you're referring to. The only thing to stop that is when we all mix to the point where we are all teh same color. Which MAY happen if we don't COMPLETELY ruin teh planet first, or some cosmic event doesn't catastrophically affect us.
