Neither Chinese nor Japanese are a race. They’re the same race with different nationality
Comment on The Aliens did a little trolling

Chinese would probably vote Japanese
China’s neighbours would for China
Majority white and black would vote for each other
And nothing we didn’t already know would be revealed

I feel like a lot of us (myself included) would vote for things that aren’t races because we don’t understand the difference

Maybe the whole concept of “human races” is unscientific anyways?

Inconceivable! Have you never seen a Chihuahua and a Doberman, or an American and… uh… bigfoot? fairies?.. yeah, that, tooth fairies! 🙈

Good point. And aliens would probably come up with different “groups” anyway lol

There are a lot of people that treat it as such

You really think the majority wouldn’t vote for “none”, given it’s an option?
Even if one were to think practically about it (if we all vote none, they won’t share the tech or whatever, for the sake of they hypothetical), wouldn’t most people just choose a super small ethnic group?
Like sorry Inuits, hate to say it but ya’ll shoulda tried imperialism lmao

Based on the way the meme plays off, the only practical way to get the tech would show you value life over technology, hence the option for none, if it’s not a consensus for none how could you expect that species to act responsible with the tech and hence the tattooing and leaving.

I’m saying none wasn’t given as an option so it should be assumed to not be
GiveMemes@jlai.lu 1 year ago
In the meme it says none is a choice tho

Rip I missed that

Right, that’s what I was thinking : just try to pick the smallest race. I’m guessing the majority would try to do the same thing. Obviously you have people who hate other races, but I’m hoping that even if 30% have the same idea, maybe it limits casualties… unless we’re all allowed to Google though, I’m guessing most of us have different guesses as to what the smallest race is

I feel like sensible votes wouldn’t matter there are two many racists, it comes down to who the biggest population blocks are most racist against - and what counts as a race, like if it’s from a list of like five or six races then it’ll be fifth to having French and German rather than just European

The smallest race is “human”.
If the aliens were to go through with actually eliminating the most voted “race”, they’d wipe out everyone.
