"The Browning Of America," Really?

I'll just shake my head and acknowledge that this is the most racist thread I've seen on social media to date.

We hear a lot these days from the left teasing and needling white conservative folks about the fact that there’s this thing known as "The Browning Of America," because of America’s illegal immigration from south American countries and the fact that mixed breeding of the races is a norm today and even becoming more normal.


Well I wonder if the teasers and needliers ever noticed that when brown, black and white races mix, the dominate gene almost always is the white gene. The mixed races get lighter and lighter with each mix. I have to wonder if the teasers and needliers ever take into consideration what seemingly will be an even more dominate white race 1000 years from now? I wonder if they notice that the darker skin colors are actually becoming whiter? Maybe we’re actually witnessing the "Whiting Of Global Humanity," huh?

Your knowledge of genetics is wanting. I hate to break this to you but light skin is a recessive gene that only becomes generally dominant in the absence of genes for darker skin. Light skin is derivative of albinism, like light hair and blue eyes. Our genetic code contains templates for all skin colors but absent deliberate selection, something in the middle of both extremes is the likely outcome and most probably the color of our most distant ancestors who are theorized to be very much the same people as the San. Pale skin tends to be thinner and more prone to damage and disease (like cancer) than darker skin. People with pale skin and blue eyes are not made to live in climates where there is much direct sunlight, but for places where it is primarily overcast, otherwise, they can't cope with the radiation from the sun, which causes significant damage to the skin and the eyes. Skin cancer and blindness are the downside of light skin and blue eyes. There is no downside to having more melanin in your skin or having darker eyes.

I would say liberals want to "brown america" less than conservatives want to whiten america.

That is an absolute lie lol we both know that

I have had plenty of skin cancer. Mostly basal cell, and one squamous cell carcinoma - unfortunately that one was on my right check. Pretty good scar from that one.

A lie, eh? Did you read the thread you just posted in? FFS.

Fools' science. Remember, by far the greatest violent crime rate belongs to blacks, and the greatest victim rate is also black, so that crap portends a much, much more violent world -- not better, not more egalitarian, more violent.

That should read much, much, much, much more. I slipped a much.

Or if I'm wrong, tell me how.

My post that you quote, says nothing about the world "becoming better." The post is solely about genetics and the world thereby becoming "whiter." Why do you put words on my keyboard and insinuate I believe a whiter world is a better world?

Racist by way of its original post? If so, how so?

Then you'll explain why when light and dark skin procreate the offspring are always lighter and never obtain the same darkness of the darker parent and not necessarily darker than the lighter parent, right? In most cases the skin tone is much, much nearer in tone to the lighter parent and only the physical features otherwise often favor the darker parent.

This is proof that a little knowledge is a dangerous thing.

Some of the dumbest conclusions and comments ever have come from people who consider themselves geneticists.
