RACISM

Race, Ethnicity, Creed, nationality, origin, etc  all the same but different somehow. We shall see.


What is it? Who knows.

When did it start? I dunno.

Is it bad? Maybe.

Since the death of God, morality has become purely subjective. In this blog we will try to see if Racism is not morally wrong, but rather, practically disadvantageous. 

Maybe we will name all the races if there aren't enough blog posts.

Race and Ethnicity are often interchangeable but are actually two different things. Race is more about physical characteristics and ethnicity is a shared cultural group. The largest ethnic group is the Han who are Chinese. When you google largest race the Han come up even though its supposed to be an ethnic group, so I guess race is a colloquial term for ethnicity. 

I chose this topic because I know a lot of people who are racist and being of two historically conflicting races I have some personal experience with the topic.


“All wars are civil wars because all men are brothers... Each one owes infinitely more to the human race than to the particular country in which he was born.”

    Thank you for addressing the complex and sensitive issue of race and ethnicity in your blog post. It's important to have open discussions about these topics to promote understanding and challenge harmful beliefs.
    You raise an interesting point by questioning whether racism is morally wrong or if it is more practically disadvantageous. It's a thought-provoking perspective that invites readers to consider the broader implications of racism beyond just its moral implications.
    Differentiating between race and ethnicity is crucial, and you provide a clear explanation of the distinction. The Han ethnic group's example highlighting the overlap between race and ethnicity offers valuable insight into how these terms are sometimes used interchangeably in popular discourse.
    Your personal experience with racism adds a unique perspective to the discussion, as it allows you to provide firsthand insights into the impact of racial conflicts. Sharing personal stories can humanize the issue and help readers relate to the subject matter on a more personal level.
    As you continue exploring this topic, I encourage you to delve deeper into the historical and social contexts that contribute to racism. Consider examining the systemic structures and power dynamics that perpetuate discriminatory attitudes and actions. This can provide a comprehensive understanding of the issue and open up avenues for addressing it more effectively.
    Overall, your blog post presents an intriguing perspective and promises to engage readers in thought-provoking discussions. I appreciate your willingness to tackle such an important and sensitive topic.
    Best of luck with your future blog posts, and I look forward to reading more from you.

Eugenics

 Eugenics is something I have been interested in for a very long time. The word was first coined by Sir Francis Galton: The guy who made the Galton board you probably used during probability class. He was the cousin of Charles Darwin, which is why he thought about evolution with humans. The word was thought of recently but the practice has been done since ancient times. Plato wrote about it in works, but the example that is most widely known is the Spartans. In Spartan society when a child is born it was brought before a council which would decide if the child was weak or deformed, and therefore undeserving of life. In this way Eugenics is not inherently racist, but rather ableist because it promotes the idea that the physically or mental deformed deserve to die. Plato also wrote about how he would make a mating lottery which the public would believe is random, but in reality he would use it to pair those he deemed genetically superior together so they could make strong children. He do

Protecting Endangered Races

This guy invented the Toto script  In India there is a group of people called the Toto. They are a culturally distinct tribal group located in an enclave in the West Bengal region of India. The Toto people are considered to have mongoloid features. Mongoloid not as in someone with a mental deficiency, but rather someone with East Asian features. Because they are on the border of Burma the Toto language is in the Tibeto-Burman family of the sub-Himalayan group. The language did not have and official writing system until 2015, when an elder of the tribe created one. Until then they would use the Bengali script. Being located in West Bengal, Bengali is used in schools, so they only use Toto at home. The Toto people used to be down to about 300 which is very low for human populations, but now they are up to around 1,500. Anthropologists agree that the Toto culture and language is totally unique to the tribe and therefore should be preserved. The reason for this bounce back in population is
