I always check other on the race box. I don't feel any cultural or racial connection with the Caucasus.

Plus the whole idea is based on this old theory of racial division that is more or less discredited now. Caucasoid Negroid and Mongoloids races. You'll get accused of racism outright for even citing that theory, and frankly I'm fairly convinced the theory is pretty eurocentric but so broad as to be useless.

My racial theory is thus, there is the human race. All other distinctions are culturally defined. The criteria are therefore irrelevant to material reality. Some people have lighter or darker skin yet it is a spectrum. Different eye shapes. Different hair colors. We can go on and on and divide people into an infinite number of groups depending on the criteria chosen.

I think Americans have a hard time with this due to their politics and education system more or less hammering in this very Americanized ideal of colorism but it's frankly bunk and the only real criteria it judges is skin color. It goes right back to the old Caucasoid Negroid Mongoloid shit, white black and other. Or as we say it now, white black and brown.

There whole thing will crumble if you travel and start to meet people who are "mixed" ever met a black asian? How about a white Mexican? There are negros with white skin. Arabs with black skin. It's not the norm. But it happens.

The idea that you can just somehow change your physical appearance to be that of someone else is ludicrous, but if you change the way you dress and the way you act you can actually change other people's perception of your race since it goes far beyond merely skin color. As this case demonstrates. Culture is all that matters in the long run, and while there's certainly no such thing as one universal superior culture, cultural attitudes are fair game for criticism be they good or bad since there are not innate and can be changed. Once you tie them to race it gets messy. Black people are violent. Racist statement? Black culture in the US is violent? Racist statement? Making the confusion between the two is the primary way the ruling class maintains political power by separating the populace into easily identified and manipulatable groups keeping them fighting each other rather than uniting their political power for policies that would empower both and hurt the powerbase of the political elite.
