I personally believe in trying to increase and preserve human diversity, as opposed to mixing everthing, as to my admitedly limited knowledge, genetic distance is what leads to allopatric speciation. This would presuppose a degree of what is commonly be considered ''racism'', though not necissarily in the sense of mindless lynchings and genocide.

The perservation of european language groups, perhaps with limited interchange, and complete isolation from relatively more distant gene pools.

It is not that huge genetic distances are already extant, but rather, if historical races/peoples/populations which could also be grouped according to phenotypical characteristics seperated, then i believe diversity would increase.

This is nothing to do with a master-race ideology, but if a group chose to feel about itself this way, the empirical/matematical result may well be increased long-term diversity.

So, therefore, is ''racism'' inherently evil? I do not believe it is, i am not a superstitious parrot myself.

LOL, what coded message? Am i the the devil incarnate according to you?

Come on, really.

/agree Racism is not inherently evil. Nor is any other form discrimination (For some reason, racism is the only one that gets attention). It's a natural instinct to want others to be like you. Such an instinct is necessary to evolve. I think Tentmaker has an interesting (albeit I think it's a bit longwinded too) perspective on this subject on the Political boards I believe.

Tent,

Welcome to the idea of common usage altering the dictionary-definition of a word.

Also, I'm unclear on how you're disagreeing with me and determining that I'm "full of it."

racism: n: racial prejudice or discrimination

is the definition which is considered "evil". The fact is that each race has a genetic "leg-up" from the others and with that "leg-up " also comes a genetic weakness to the others.

It is true that black men have more muscle mass allowing them to excel at physical sports, but it also makes them less bouyant. They are also cursed with the G6PD trait which gives them a genetic weakness.

The definition of Tent is just pointing out that it is the differences between the races which will make one race superior in one capacity but it can also make it weaker. Therefore we are all the superior and inferior race.

Racism as a belief is not natural it is man made, but racism as a fact of genetic difference is natural. It is through the mixing of the races that we can share these strengths but then we also share the weaknesses.

So I guess we are just damned if we do and damned if we don't

Snot
The only problem is that there is you provide no definition of what is a human race.
In fact the very idea of human being divided into races is racist !
When applied to animals, races are artificial groups created through breeding and selection. There are no races for wild animals, only species. Humans are a specy too. Thanks god, there is no artificial selection for humans.
Racism is basically an ideology, some people try to justify it through science but it doesn't work. I can't see anything positive in racism, only the roots for hate and war.
