In west Philadelphia born and raised.... All jokes aside I'm a mix of Chinese and Japanese.. So I was destined to be short

As the first offically (by me) self declared Terran, I should also be the first declared King of the World.
(If its OK with everyone else.)

[Felix]

White european mutt. German, Irish, British, French, prolly other stuff mixed in somewhere.

But...I don't care. We're all "mutts", as so many have mentioned...and there has never been a country/society/culture that survived for long after being "mutt-i-fied."

And if we were not mutt-i-fied, we'd all have weird diseases like posh people do and those in Norfolk.

That's inacurrate. The aristocracy used to interbreed with different  ethnicity's. That is an english aristocrat would would marry aristocrats from italy, russia, france or spain etc.  The common people never did. this and retained an homogeneous gene pool.

What you are refering to is inbreeding where aristocrats who are too closely related marry and have offspring.

Thank you Pica Pica. I was pretty astonished at seeing apparent wistfulness at the lack of ethnic purity our world faces, but I was way too shy to say anything.

Though, yeah, I'm sure you'll get a lot of argument. I'm still trying not to really weigh in. I'm afraid I might not be sensitive enough to speak carefully and appropriately on this topic.

[ativan]

maybe it's just me, but aren't people, younger people, getting better looking? I love the mixes, they seem to bring out the more positive features, more often than not. Maybe I'm more accepting of peoples looks in general, I don't know. I firmly believe that with modern transportation and people moving to different countries, the gene pool will expand and for the better. I wish I was a part of it.

How does our world face ethnic impurity?

Africa is ethnic cleansing in every country. asia is extremely protective of their respective ethnicitys.

Most of the worlds population is in these places

Lol "ethnic purity" is not a term I would ever use on my own. Way too loaded. I didn't say it does or it doesn't; I was just summarizing part of what I took from Beth Andrea's comment.

[Dane]

Black, Polish, French Canadian, Austrian, Italian, Cherokee Indian, and a ton of other things. I'm kind of a mutt. :3

[fionabell]

ethnic purity

You got this from Beth Andreas post? I must be coming in to a conversation late

[Felix]

Incidentally, there was a time in the not-so-distant past when being from a region meant something about you. In America, when I was a kid, people could (and did) come up and say "Hey, it looks like you're from Belgium/Sweden/England (etc)!" and they would be generally correct. Physical features and social behaviors were quite distinct, and easily identified. Europeans were well-known for doing this, in America and in Europe.

Today, of course, to be from a region (or a "country") means nothing...There are blacks, Arabs, and Asians who were born in say, France, the US, and England....they can all say "We're French!" We're American!" and "We're English!"

Culturally...perhaps. Ethnically? No.

But...I don't care. We're all "mutts", as so many have mentioned...and there has never been a country/society/culture that survived for long after being "mutt-i-fied."

This too, shall pass.
