Don’t claim some races are inferior to others, you are only encouraging them.

The genetics and geographical aspects defining races are entirely a product of social behaviour favouring traits over others. It has been a very long time since our species contended with natural selection, and instead it’s also with social selection from mindsets entirely like yours.

If your brain’s going to where it went, you’re either simple or so racially conscious, you only think in social racial traits 👍

You can accuse the sun of being racist when the truth is, like all species on the planet, genetics are geographically disposed to benefit their environment. I can confidently say that those of western and central Europe have less genetic fortitude for other environments and situations around the planet. Just as a Clydesdale doesn’t race and a Thoroughbred doesn’t haul load.

Get your head out of the social racist gutter. I’m allowed to be displeased with my genetic traits, especially when I never had a say in the matter.

  What do you mean “what”?

    Nah, I think your brain is just defaulting to social concepts of race which is kind of ironic. It was confusing, but that seems to be the case after all.
    
    But not enjoying the negative traits of my genetic composition and wishing I could substitute them with others is totally fine. If there was a race of humans with wings, you better fucking believe I find that a cool trait to have. They’d be ugly bat-like ones with skin and shit, but the benefits would be too good to pass up. If you want to acknowledge the social concepts of racial inferiority or superiority to the wings, or even subscribe such concepts, that’s all you. But, as you would note in my original comment, these sorts of ideas are silly to me.
    
    And I know what horseshoe theory is. It’s mention makes absolutely no contextual sense, but it is highlighting where some people’s brains disturbingly wander off to. Won’t be dragging me along, though.
