Racism and Multiculturalism.
It should be said that I consider race and culture to be fundamentally separate. Though there has always been a practical reason to consider race and culture to be the same thing, lumping them together as ethnicity, that has always been an imperfect assumption. Making broad generalizations for the sake of argument, we can take "black culture" and "white culture". A black person born to/migrating to/adopted into white society will grow up with the cultural norms and in effect culture of the whites around it. A white person similarly immersed in a black culture will develop in line with their society. Traditionally the different races had been limited to different regions and developed separately or with occasional interaction for thousands of years.
That all changed as trade and exploration expanded, and as empires rose and fell. As different races mingled to share their cultures and ideas, inventions and superstitions. Technology improved over the course of time from the first rugged animal powered carts and wagons to naval vessels and eventually the modern airplane. In today's world the chances of having multiple races in any given society are dramatically increased.
And that isn't a problem.
Within the machine.
Every human being is a machine, a vehicle for human will. Whether you consider your true self to be your mind or your soul is for you to decide. What is common to every person is that we ride in our bodies the same way we drive a car. Our brains are our most important and fundamental organ. There are as many variations and nuances among the brains of people of the same race as there are personalities among people of the same race. The biological differences between the races are negligible, overridden by force of will.
We must look for those that are similar to ourselves in the ways that it matters, in their personality and culture. A skin deep assessment of another person is a shortsighted and ultimately foolish appraisal. Do you want to build a successful society that offers everyone that conforms to expectations a solid chance at happiness? If you do, do you intend to bar black people? Tanned people? Brown people? Tattooed people? A common soul, a common desire, a common standard of decency and conduct is infinitely more valuable than a common skin tone or specific assortment of genes.
Every citizen that contributes to the glory of our nation deserves a share of that glory. You are obligated as a citizen to see the greatness and potential in your neighbors and to help them minimize their weaknesses.
It's like cooking, kinda.
Building and maintaining a functioning society lends itself to many metaphors and analogies. The term "melting pot" for multiculturalism springs to mind. We've all done our fair share of cooking, so we can all appreciate a few basic lessons from it. The most relevant lesson is that mixing ingredients needs to be done at a certain rate. Unchecked or lax immigration is a recipe for disaster. Can you imagine simply dumping any ingredient no matter how good into something you were trying to make? I'm going to use a salad as an example, because hopefully that will avoid bringing racial colors into things.
If you have a bowl full of lettuce, you have lettuce. If you want to make a salad because salad is better than plain lettuce you need to add ingredients. Let's pretend that you wanted to add carrots. Ideally you want to add a limited amount of carrots. You don't want to fill half the bowl with carrots, you don't want to fill the bowl 90% full of carrots. You want to add a reasonable amount flavored to taste. Then you add peas, radishes, red onions, apple slices, oranges, etc etc. The point is that you add ingredients in a limited amount in order to build something better than what you started with. Each of these ingredients will of course need to be cut and washed.
We can build something better through racial cooperation then what we started with. Each nation that adopts the process of structuring its demographics with a set plan should use its most abundant demographic as a base and expand from there. For us in North America that is whites, but in other nations it will be black people, brown people, etc.
This isn't about racial subjugation, it's about forming a unanimous united culture. I don't want any of us to stand apart like lumps in pancakes - unmixed ingredients. I don't want anyone to stand apart and say things like "I am african-american". Every citizen of the nation needs to be integrated under a single set of values and be willing to conform to them heart and soul. Remember, the war against multiculturalism requires that YOU be willing to set aside racism!
