I thought diversity was a strength? at least that's what the left is always shouting. how would this be consistent with multi-racialism?

diversity isn't multi -racialism it is multi-culture
it is funny that such terms = race for you
very telling

noun: diversity
the state of being diverse.
"there was considerable diversity in the style of the reports"
a range of different things.
plural noun: diversities
"newspapers were obliged to allow a diversity of views to be printed"

adjective: diverse

Diversity is both multi-racialism and multi-culture.

not quite so
an all white population would still show multiculturalism- anyways what is the point discussing with you. you hate the idea and frankly abhor other races so :colondollar:

Do I? What did I say which means you could draw that conclusion?

I said that forced or encouraged breeding between different races was wrong because it makes the value claim of a mixed race person or society being superior. and I wholeheartedly deny that precisely because I don't abhor other races.

You are also missing my point entirely, that is, that diversity is a term that refers to a whole plethora of things. As a term it refers to diversity of race, of culture, of sex, of faith of anything.

what about the word "diversity" inherently suggests culture and not race? I thought it applied to all kinds of identity?
No it wouldn't. I'm black and in my community, having lighter skin is seen as more desirable. This is also seen in south asian cultures as well. In India, the vast majority of bollywood actors/actresses and models have fairer skin even though most of the population are dark skinned.
In the black community, being "light-skin" is seen as better. Within our own race we make distinctions between different colours and even perpetuate feelings of "the lighter the better".

TL;DR: No, your "solution" won't do anything. People will somehow find another way to be racist.

I kinda dis-agree and agree with what your saying. I dis-agree in that colurism is as strong as you sugggest that it is in blk community. However I don't think Obama would got in had he been as dark as Wesley Snipes. Same for Beyonce. It's very rare you see dark skinned black women promoted in the media.

Plus to whites the big thing is whether or not you are are white.

Do most black men prefer light-skinned women ?

I do not know of any surveys of what men like in women in terms of physical beauty, apart from those about waist-hip ratio and face symmetry. And I do not know how honest the men in such surveys would be. There is a certain political correctness stuff you are supposed to say on that subject.

The best proxy is the men’s magazines like Maxim, Nuts, Zoo, FHM, Loaded, FHM and Playboy. Unlike the fashion magazines, they have to know what their male readership like in women or lose out to their rivals. Men are not buying these magazines for the articles.

Based on that it seems that white men prefer blondes with thin bodies and big breasts. This type



And for black men it is light-skinned women with long hair and a big behind. This is not just what some editors think. Black Men magazine did start out that way what the editors thought but then they found their sales suffering. After trying many kinds of women, they found what sort of black woman does best in all parts of Black America the Melyssa Ford sort:



That does not mean that there are not black men who like dark-skinned women or thin women or whatever. Of course there are. Nor is the standard of beauty the same everywhere either.

Also colourism does seem to be more ingrained in South Asia and until you’ve visited Asia, it’s impossible to understand just how fascinated Asians are with whiteness.

In the Singapore, you'll walk past several kiosks advertising skin lightening cream for women. The fetishization ramped way up in the Philippines. Every single advertisement on the streets features white models, half-white models.

I know this white guy from Ireland he was, he told me he opened up an account on FilipinoCupid and posted a picture of himself. This is him.



As you can see. He's an ok looking white male, but nothing out of the ordinary.

But he started getting dozens of messages from Filipinas a day. Getting them to show up on dates was as simple as telling them were he was going to be in their city and asking what their number was.

To give you an example of how eager some Filipinas are to date a white man, one girl he met off of FilipinoCupid went absolutely crazy when he first texted her.

Five minutes after he contacted her, she tried calling him three times in a row, and when he didn’t pick up, she sent him another three texts. When he finally met her coffee, he tells me she was downright almost crying with apologizies for being late, laughing at all his bad jokes, and reminding him that they should “spend as much time together” as we could before he returned to the UK.

In fact he suspects that some of the girls he banged were trying to get pregnant just so they could have a half-white baby. He asked a few girls what they’d do if he got them pregnant (abortion is illegal in the Philippines) and they all told him they’d raise the baby on their own without telling him.

Keep in mind that these were all college-educated, middle-class girls he met via FilipinoCupid or day gaming them.

Obviously you get your Asian women who are only into Asian men and reject western values, but if your a white dude in Asia, you'll have more than a few women out there who want a piece of you.

the IQ comes mainly due to culture and education not necessarily genetics.
Don't you know social Darwinism is pseudo-science

Plus no human being can be baked down to a number. To do so is dehumanizing.

That's why people who talk about IQ like it's the be all and end all, don't drive their arguments to their logical conclusions :

IQ is so important and so trustworthy ?

Well why not give all the top positions to those with the highest IQ ?

Why not just have an IQ test between the leaders of the parties to sort out who will run the country in May and do away with elections for good ?

Why have job interviews ? Why have CV's ? Why not have birth licences or sterilization based on IQ ?

If white people or North East Asians or anyone truly had some kind of genetic edge in intelligence, then they would have been the most advanced humans not just for a few hundred years here and there in history, but throughout the past 5,000 if not 30,000 years.

Africans were the last ones to have that kind of edge. Only we do not call them Africans : We call them Homo sapiens. They are us.
Neanderthals had significantly bigger brains (going by actual mass which is what counts) than homo sapiens and they were almost nearly wiped out save for a bit of dna left here and there.

Someone missed bio class because mass doesn't count but crenation so size doesn't matter. And Neanderthals are extinct every human is homo sapiens
Unless you are an alien
Actually it's been proven homo sapiens interbred with neanderthal, and it dind't really help them much from being wiped out.
