I don't really understand white supremecy from a fundamental level. Like, genetically, we're pretty crap. If there were racial selection on the character creation screen of life, I wouldn't have rolled this inferior shit.

[–] Tudsamfa@lemmy.world 27 points 3 days ago (2 children)

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

What do you mean "what"? I don't think I could have been any clearer.

And if you meant to reply to the other comment, they meant to write horseshoe theory.

[–] saltesc@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

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.

White people are great at getting rheumatoid arthritis too!

[–] axx@slrpnk.net 11 points 2 days ago (2 children)

There are no biological races in humanity. Nothing that can be compared to dogs for instance. On top of that "white" as a biological marker to define a group makes as much sense as "tall" or "small hands", ie: none.

We humans are pretty varied lot, people have wanted to create categories for ages and have done so, but those are social categories.

[–] saltesc@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Yeah, like most everything, it's a social concept.

[–] Nath@aussie.zone 1 points 2 days ago

On a biological level, dogs are all the same species. There's obviously something beyond biology in terms of classification. And humans have whatever it is: you only need to watch an NBA game or a 100m Olympic final to see this in action.

I agree that most categories we put people into are artificial, but it'd be an error to say it's all social.

I also think our species superpower is not our physical makeup. Our ability to work together and use our brains is what sets us apart from the other species on the planet, and on that front the playing field is level.

With your logic, enlighten us to which race you'd choose to be? A "Master race" if you will.

I'd be very torn between Khajiit and Argonian.

transformer. fucking transform into a godamm tank would be sick.

[–] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 days ago

I'm tempted to say something famous like the Indy 500, but I think I would be a simple 5K

[–] saltesc@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Depends where I'd geographically end up. Whatever genetic traits benefit that the most and also what I want to do the most.

For starters, I'd be preferring more melanin, but I still like my northern EU frame for swimming. Hmmm...but I would like longer legs for running. Also more east asian hair for convenience.

Having Nordic height is convenient too, but the weight is rough when falling so African lakes region is good for that.

My spawn point is prob somewhere around the Pacific. Sailing and surfing will be my jam, so if I had to select a preset, probably Tongan sub if Polynesian, but I'd rather.customise.

I dunno, what would you pick?

[–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

If there's a house shoe theory for eugenics, you'd be the poster child.

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 5 points 2 days ago

This guy internalised Advanced Race Theory.

[–] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 days ago

You are thinking about it way more than any white supremacist does

[–] GladiusB@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Thats why they are the way they are. They know the only way they keep the power is doing shady ass shit.

[–] Deme@sopuli.xyz 2 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

No. Most racists are not people in power, and having "inferior" white skin (not a downgrade, just a sidegrade for the combination of northern latitudes and agriculture) applies to a lot more people than just the racists.

The reason that they are the way they are, is that it's an easy outlet for the anger caused by probably a myriad of reasons, some common, some more specific to the person in question. I'd be willing to bet that financial insecurity caused by neoliberalism is pretty high up on that list for many, and that's why actually powerful people like to promote racism to divert the anger elsewhere.
