https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XbF6XfC2X0o Why should I not be proud of what I am? That aside, I promote loyalty to those who have given us our best systems. I do not take pride in having created them. RegardsDL

Our government should actively insure that all of it's citizens, regardless of color, are aware of the benefits to the country that their reproducing will bring. A citizen knowing his duty is always a good idea. RegardsDL

Whites are called Caucasian. Ummm, no. This may come as a surprise to you, but not all Caucasians are white. I had a graduate school class in Human Races a while back, and under the original three-part classification, North Africa and the Middle East, extending through almost all of India, were classified as Caucasians. The people in some of those areas are far from "white" although they were classified as Caucasians. Incidentally, not all those with black skin are Africans either. Its a very complex and interesting subject, of which you might learn something.Religious belief does not constitute scientific evidence, nor does it convey scientific knowledge.

GIA writes: Our government should actively insure that all of it's citizens, regardless of color, are aware of the benefits to the country that their reproducing will bring. Best, I think, if government stays out of the reproductive lives of citizens altogether. States have sterilized people, denied them access to birth control, forced abortions, banned abortions and forbade some people from reproducing together. States and reproduction don't mix well. There's a legitimate state interest in insuring that citizens know how babies are made and how they're raised well. Other than that, government should serve the people it's got, not the getting of particular kinds. All political camps should be wary of opening that door."If you can keep your head while those around you are losing theirs, you can collect a lot of heads."

This may come as a surprise to you, but not all Caucasians are white. Obviously the OP is using the common idea that we encounter all the time on official forms to identify our "race" and on those forms "white" is usually designated "Caucasian." That's how we all understand it and there's no need for all this sciencey pedantry, it just confuses things.

Using the casual idea of the white race there really has been a serious reduction in the "white" population just through the emphasis on reducing family size that we all encountered decades ago. It was some sort of offense to have more than two children, to replace each parent and no more, and this thinking came out of the idea of a population explosion put forth by Malthusians. Perhaps the "government" didn't push this idea, I don't know, but it was a very effective influence. The only people who took this truly seriously were the "white" race (the Protestants anyway since Catholics were always encouraged to have many children), and the result has been the serious reduction in the white population as compared with others who don't accept those principles.

That's how we all understand it and there's no need for all this sciencey pedantry, it just confuses things. Sorry if facts confuse you, but some folks have actually researched these topics and know a little about them. The OP was conflating two separate things because "white" is not the same as Caucasian. White is a skin color, while Caucasian is a racial classification developed mainly by anthropologists over 100 years ago. The two are not the same, as I pointed out there are many Caucasians who are not "white." And "white" is a problematic term anyway. Like most classical racial traits, skin color is found in clines ranging from very light to very dark, with some interesting variants (such as Bushmen).

Yeah yeah yeah, but all that pedantic information is just a way of distracting from the simple use of the term in the OP that we are ALL familiar with.

If you want to be a bit more accurate, use "European," one of nine racial classifications developed by Stanley Garn.
Stanley Marion Garn - Wikipedia Or if you want to be more specific, Garn further subdivided those nine into 34 subgroups. It's all just a game. You can make as many or as few groups as you like, depending on the traits you select and how you weight them, and it still means nothing. Making more groups and you're just slicing the baloney thinner. Edited by Coyote, : GrammarReligious belief does not constitute scientific evidence, nor does it convey scientific knowledge.
