Are there less people in the world now that are 100% pure White?

Question

So much racial mixing happening everywhere. It's great. Hopefully that cuts down some racism.

mynickname's, don't be silly.

Answer 1

By the year 2050 there will be no minority race in our childrens schools. Isn't that great. One less reason for racial profiling and predjudice.

Answer 2

I doubt mixing will cut down on racism, or any kind if "ism". I am not pure anything. Not pure white, black, Hispanic and who knows what else, and I experience being treated differently by many different so-called races.
If it isn't one thing it's another. It could be skin tone, hair texture, the "percentage" of your ethnicity. Some people just like to be ignorant, plain and simple.

Answer 3

There is no such thing as a 100% pure race. In fact there is actually no such thing as a race. There are collections of genes that control physical characteristics and the distributions and combinations of these genes can vary significantly between individuals who are seemingly of the same race. Certain genes may also be present in a family but may not manifest for generations.

So there never really was a white race in the sense of anything pure. "White" is used to refer to light skinned people of European and mid Asiatic decent. It was not until recently that the concept of the white race as a unified entity existed. People from Ireland were considered a different race than people from Scandinavia. People from Italy were considered a different race than people from Austria, and so on.

Even when people seem to have similar physical charateristics, they may not be as related as you might think. For example, people from Madagascar look almost indistinguishable than people from most of sub-sahara Africa, however, most sub-saharan Africans are more closely related to northern Africans than they are to people from Madagascar.

So, there are no less "pure" people in the world today than there were in the past. There are, however, more mixing of genepools that used to be segregated.

Answer 4

Yeah, I don't know why, but I've always wanted a half-black son. I don't know why, really. Maybe because Slash is half-black, but who really knows? But I think it's good that people are trying to mix with other races. Like you said, it should cut down racism and create more cultural acceptance.

Answer 5

that's assuming that racism only exists between people who are "100% pure White" and those who aren't. this is not the case; there is racism among people of the same ethnicities as well. if there weren't racism, there would be another reason for people to fight among themselves.

Answer 6

I'm all for mixing up the gene pool, as I myself am of mixed heritage. However, even if people someday are all a kind of light tan, we'll still find ways to be racist. It's the nature of some humans, for some reason, to find differences, and to hate others for those differences. If it isn't skin color, or eye color, it will be some other kind of nasty "ism". And it's the "isms" that concern me, not the gene pool.

Answer 7

Soldier, there are no less people in the world. All people are the same, black white yellow whatever they are as long as their blood is red.

Answer 8

Of course there's less. And it is great, but as for racism..... unfortunately it will always be here.

Answer 9

I bet there are less people who are pure white, however I don't think that'll change things. I mean if they think they're fully white and think they're better, well then it shouldn't matter.

Answer 10

Yes. I don't think that you will ever get rid of racism. That goes for ALL races.
