As I was told when I was a kid, tribes stay with tribes. That was in 1969 and I was 15.

Forced multiculturalism is one of the contributing factors to the downfall of our civilization.

I can't recall who asked it, but they asked "name a culture that was successful because of its diversity" and no one could answer. Most successful cultures are homogenous.

I was taught that all lives matter and the content of a Mans Character Mattered more that the color of his skin. Grew up in South Seattle and We had Great levels of diversity and Good fun with each other too!! I didn't think about the color of The Seahawks players... lol They we all Seahawks!! lol Be kind to one Another folks, The devil is busy these days

    I didn't get that Ali was being racist, but making a false equivocation between animals and people.

    Genetically we're pretty diverse, though. Even if it's just among similar ethnicities. I always thought I was just Irish (mom, born and raised there and her family lived there forever) and German (though my German ancestors immigrated to America at the end of the 19th century). Yet I'm a mix of Irish, Scottish, English, German and Welsh. I don't think there are many people on the planet today who are purely 100% one race or ethnicity. Hell, black may be a race, but there are a shit-ton of ethnicities in there. And how many people have had surprises when they get their DNA kit back from Ancestry?

    European. You're European. There's not much difference between all of those ethnicities you mentioned, on a genetic level.

    There are genetic markers that identify each though, but yeah, I'm white.
