Do you have arguments against "there is no such a thing as a pure ethnic/racial group, no such a thing as a pure korean, japanese, chinese, vietnamese, german, etc, because everyone is mixed" and "there is no such a thing as a race/ethnic group"?

    The color analogy is very interesting to me. If we mix red and yellow, we get orange. In the context of race, orange would be considered descending from red and yellow. It could share 50% of its material with red, while 50% with yellow, perhaps 40% with red, while 60% with yellow. But nobody would say that means orange is not fully/pure orange (though I'd like to know why, why is it that we consider it fully/pure orange despite it descending from two different colors? Do you know why?)

    What about, e.g. a korean that has a percentage of siberian gene because they descend from siberian ancestors? Would it be correct to say this individual is still fully korean, and not partly korean/partly siberian/not fully korean, because the mixture of these genes creates the full/pure korean ethnicity?

    Or what about a german, italian, australian, etc that have a percentage of african genes, because everyone essentially descends from african ancestors? Would it be correct to consider these individuals fully german, fully italian, fully australian, etc?

    In here, a geneticist claims no race can be pure, because of these genetic mixings: https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2019/02/harvard-geneticist-no-populations-dna-is-pure/

    What are your thoughts on that?

    None of this matters much from a practical point of view. What matters is that in North America and the broader west there is one group-whites that is continuously portrayed negatively by media, government, academia and hollywood. They are the evil group we must all work to abolish, and this group can never defend themselves or advocate for themselves. This situation exists because another group-jews-have a near monopoly on the media, and has a long running current of hostility towards whites.

    Whites exist. They are a thing, regardless of what you believe that thing actually is. Dont believe me turn on the tv and watch how this group is portrayed. Tgey never shut up about us and continually demand we criticize ourselves just to keep a job or appear in the media they own.

    That is what matters.
