@JeffMcDuffie72MeridianGate . . . culture and race are inseparable. Culture is downstream from race and politics is downstream from culture.
The different races are just that. . . different. As the OP said up above is that wealth can sometimes mute those differences. The more wealthy people become the less they notice race within the group they associate with. And the lower you get on the socioeconomic ladder the more "racism" you'll encounter. I rarely look at it as racism and more of tribalism in varying degrees between individuals within that race. Some white people are more tribal than others while some black people are more tribal than others. Men tend to be more tribal than women. But those small differences become amplified when larger groups are involved. Go to any College lunch room even today and the students tend to self-segregate by race.
People fool themselves into thinking just because they have a few friends of different races that it can then be applied to larger groups. Usually individual friends of different races have enough in common where any differences are overlooked by manners or just an individual having different tastes. But those little differences become exacerbated when larger groups of different races interact. The group dynamic will trump the individual trait. There are also some individuals that can bridge the natural racial divide. C. 0wen$ and La-ry EIder come to mind. There's a few derogatory names that their own tribe call them. That alone tells you something.
This isn't a statement or question on one race being better than another. It's just an honest acknowledgement of the races being different.
A little diversity is fine and probably a good thing. Too much diversity leads to division and conflict.
In order for a nation to prosper you need a dominate super-majority of one ethnicity/race where any minority living within that country adheres, accepts, appreciates, admires, etc. the customs, norms, traditions, language, culture, laws, history, etc. of the majority. But that minority must stay a minority. And the majority welcomes that minority as they feel proud and flattered that a different ethnic/racial group would adopt their culture and country as their own. But as the minorities population #'s increase to a certain point (I have no idea at what % that would be but I'm assuming 10% to 20% minority) that feeling of welcoming and flattery turns to concern, displacement, and resentment. I'm sure the Native Indigenous Tribes of the Americas were curious and flattered at first when the white man set foot on North America. But at some point as the white man's #'s increased they became concerned.
If multiracialism within countries were the norm then why do so many "countries of color" have strict immigration and citizenship laws designed to keep their ethnic/racial majorities the same. Such as "your grandparents had to be a citizen within such and such country for 10 years".
