I do not think the world is ready for humanism in the sense that you can look at it from "we are all people." Its a nice thought but its obviously not working. It is an admirable goal and we do need to see it if our species (the most important thing, above national or genetic identity is our identity as a species) is to survive, but I do not think that we are even close to that yet. |

Sudden deaths happen. Accidents happen.
Death of a loved one is never an easy thing.
edit - to tell you the truth.. when I received the phone call about Raul passing I immediately dropped to the floor crying. I never even got the word "HOW" out.. I had a million things running through my head.. and the 1 thing I honestly thought about was - a car accident. |

Compared to people in the US that are a hodgepodge of every european country yes.
I think that lineages that stay inside their national and for a larger sense genetic lines tend to do better. A strong sense of national identity and racial identity can never be a bad thing in terms of dealing with social structures and institutions within those groups.
The problem in the US is that there is no national or racial identity. I mean we have a lot of amazing things, but the culture that it ends up as is basically mediocre. You look at Asians and they tend to be over all more intelligent and diligent and I think that comes from them being homogeneous for the most part. They have a very pure culture which comes from a strong national and racial identity.
Once you have those then people can begin to see things as working as part of group for a greater good than just themselves.
In the US we don't see that, since we have no one national or racial identity, our views on the group as a whole are somewhat baseless and that leads to a weakening society.
Thats just something I been formulating for the last few months. Who knows how true it is, but its an interesting way to look at things. |
There was actually a study a while back that found more ethnically diverse communities have lower levels of trust. Makes sense, most will find it harder to trust "different" people.
I think that is more about culture than genetics, though.
On the other hand cultural blending leads to interesting and sometimes brilliant results. Just look at America's musical history.

Its not an idea of racial superiority for anyone group, but that people tend to do better when they are in social structures that have been with them for hundreds or thousands of years prior. There is a greater sense of community which is very important for people to have to work towards common goals.
I think that is one of the main problems with African Americans in the US. They were brought over here as slaves, they lost any sort of cultural identity. They started to create their own but having lost what they had prior they never have been able to replicate the social and national structures that help other groups thrive. |
