Amerika

The Founding Fathers never intended America to be a melting pot. In the year they wrote the Bill of Rights, they also passed the Naturalization Act which called for “free white” — this means ethnic Western Europeans: English, Scots, northern Germans, Dutch, Scandinavians, northern French — citizens only.

Since that time, mostly through the agitation of the half-Semitic Irish immigrants to this country, our nation has fought over the diversity question, even starting a Civil War in its wake and later fighting two world wars for an easy answer. It has always tormented us.

Fast forward to the 1990s where, after the LA Riots, the herd ran in fear from “racism” to “tolerance” and ended up with ethno-pluralism, multiculturalism, internationalism, and diversity, all of which mean the same exact thing.

Magazines and video news at the time were fond of running stories about our mixed-race future and how somehow magically we were going to meld into a mixed White, Asian, and African — essentially the ingredients of ancient Semites — melting pot grey race that would have superpowers.

As it turns out, reality is more nuanced and consistent. Mixing different things obliterates the many traits that each thing needs to comprise its abilities, so you end up with something of inferior ability, including biological health:

Mixed-race adolescents showed higher risk when compared with single-race adolescents on general health questions, school experience, smoking and drinking, and other risk variables.

In the 1997 NHIS, unpublished data collected on a representative sample of Americans indicate that only 1.4% selected more than 1 race, a figure stable over the last 20 years.

Support for the hypothesis of greater risk status of mixed race compared with single race is most strongly supported for general health, supported for substance use, and less strongly supported for the variables from home interviews based on a much smaller sample, even though 24 out of 30 odds ratios for home interview variables are greater than 1.0 when significance is ignored.

A Black person knows his mind; whatever his detractors think of him, he knows what makes sense to him and what images appeal to him. He is aware of how life works to the degree that he needs in the world that he has adapted to, like any other organism.

A mixed-race person in the meantime is divided between as many worlds as there are genetic influences. Nothing is clear to them; everything is an analysis, discussion, and archaeological dig to discover what they should be thinking.

It turns out that mixed-race people have health problems as well:

Genetic ancestry through population-based studies may help explain variation in ECGs and echocardiograms between and within racial groups. Importantly, these analyses may identify genetic variants that increase the likelihood of benign repolarization changes and left ventricular hypertrophy, as well as genetic variants that lead to pathological cardiovascular remodelling and increase the risk of sudden death. In the meantime, our data suggest that mixed-race athletes demonstrate electrical and structural cardiac adaptations that are more like Black athletes than White athletes.

Third world people miss some of the parts of the first world mind. This is not as simple as genes for throwing trash on the floor or not, but reflects how people think ahead to the consequences of their actions. The West has something the rest do not.

Not surprisingly, mixed-race people suffer the most. Diversity is good to no one, but the mixed-race fall between populations and end up entirely alone. They end up sicker, less sane, and missing intelligence, but democracy sees them as equal like anyone else.
