Anyone that unironically uses the term bloodline should be minecrafted
race 'science' is a scourge to humanity.
also, you know, fuck albino people i guess
(singing) 🎼 That's now how skin color works, but the fact that everyone assumes that that's how it works is a great demonstration of how race is culturally constructed and not scientific 🎵
:this::this::this:
If swear to god if I see one more joke about how a baby’s a secret bastard because their skin color isn’t directly in between its parents (also note that that joke is always about a baby who’s darker than expected, not the other way around)
If race mixing eventually makes it so that humanity is just one skin tone, whether light, dark, or in-between, I wouldn't really give a shit tbh.
Fascist racial ideology would just become even more esoteric than it currently is. They would still claim blood purity and regional racial traits even in an identical world and the brain worms would get even worse.
I don't mean offense, but isn't that pretty much what the tweeters in the pic are being made fun of for? A fear of all brown people "turning white"?
It's probably not what would happen regardless, and would more likely be some shade of tan/brown since most people on earth are that way.
Would be pragmatically pretty unfortunate due to climate change.
Unless we're all living underground by that point, in which case I guess it would be better.
Wouldn’t it be helpful actually? Since people will have to migrate to higher latitudes where there’s less sun even though the temperature will be higher?
Won't quite work that way, but humanity could end up more brown on average than on the extremes of skin color. It's entirely possible for dark-skinned parents to have a very light skinned child and very light skinned parents to have a dark skinned child due to how genetics work, and one way it can happen is multiracial heritage. Many aspects of skin color come from gene variants with stronger dominant/recessive relationships, while others are more additive. This is also why dark-haired parents can have redhead kids.
I think it would be interesting to live in a world that literally couldn't pay attention to skin color, though.

Will it? I mean, the image above seems to suggest melanin is the recessive trait. Nevermind how the "averages" game tends to assume a steady, uninterrupted generational cycle. I don't think that's going to shake out well in the heat of a global extinction event.
Like, what will the global population even be in another century, when huge populous regions are rendered uninhabitable? Will the UK starve itself down to the population of Iceland or explode outward like a bunch of ravenous locusts and do another round of genocides in Africa and Latin America? Will we see a geological event that wipes Haiti and the DR off the map? Or will we get it in Washington or California first? Will China survive and thrive or the West obliterate it in a nuclear firestorm?
I'd argue this has a bigger impact on global skin tone distribution than any law of averages on couples.
I'm sure you're right, a bunch of violence and other factors will have a big impact. I'm just saying that even under the assumption that multiracial relationships and babies will be the thing having an impact on phenotype diversity, it's not just averaging, even with skin color, which is where I think people get the idea that everyone will eventually just be brown. With American race rules and genetics in mind, black parents can have a very light-skinned kid and light-skinned parents can have a dark-skinned kid, and variations on this idea are the norm, not th exception, due to particulate inheritance and the various genes that dictate this having different impacts when their alleles pop up together in a new human.
As someone who is of mixed "race" heritage, but looks as pasty as the most :lmayo: person on the planet, this is real AF. My parents had a little money and I was really good at sportsball, so I was able to go to private schools my whole life, and didn't have it as bad as my less athletic cousins, who were constantly picked on in public schools because they weren't accepted by either the black or white kids. People are so stupid and weird about race.
oops, guess i can't have a mixed race child because the 150 year old ghost of my great great great grandparents who never bathed will get angry
Don't you want your child to smile rather than frown? Revisit this highly scientific graphic, immediately!
imagine living in a time where there is endless media, books, movies, hobbies, nature reserves and so much more and spending your days worrying about the color of peoples skin who have sex. just fucking ridiculous levels of loser energy
There’s legitimate commentary to be made about fetishization and dehumanization of certain races and genders, but instead of doing that, they settled for nonsense race science lol
Interracial marriage is now ... Black genocide? That's a new one for me
It's a tale (at least) as old as black nationalism, which was/is a reaction to chattel slavery and segregation and racism more generally.
