Actually in the case of humans it is a social construct, You can't point to definitive differences between so called races, and you sure as hell an not use genetics. Again I say this as someone with a working knowledge in several sciences (as i n I've worked using my PhD (chemistry) and masters (Biochem, specifically Bioinformatics)).

I was not against the law when it was put in place. I was for it. However what I am talking about is people today, right now, people who have posted in this thread. To allow racism today or to turn your face away from it be it against black, brown, red, yellow, white, or purple if any are around is what I am against. There has been a swing from racism against blacks, women, gays, browns, to a racism against men who are whites. I expect not to be around much longer so it will not affect me. However it is still wrong no matter WHO racism and discrimination is done to. Period. Society was all for racism and discrimination against blacks in the 60's and it was wrong. Society is starting to pick a new group that it is all for racism and discrimination now and that is as wrong. Society and the general public saying it is ok is STILL not acceptable to me today as it was not acceptable to me in the 60's.

for survival of the fittest to work in evolution, the fittest has to kill or disable the weak and reproduce more
more reproduction is the key here
in survival of the fittest, the price for the winner is reproduction
this is not the case with humans any more
the rich has more power than the poor and the intelligent can win in a chess match against the dumb
but the rich nor the intelligent reproduce more than the poor or the dumb
its actually the opposite
so you could argue that humans are actually devolving and not evolving

You ever notice how athletically fit African Americans often are? In all of history, African people were of a hardy constitution and they were often recruited in Arab-Causasian wars for these reasons, were eventually made into slaves. Now they are the smallest race of the three large races.
They were the fittest, now they are the poorest.

I appreciate your lengthy response and I read it entirely

when I say "evolution" I meant the Darwinian definition of evolution
where the offsprings gradually become better than the parents
There are two main fallacies in your argument

your first fallacy is to assume that the "survival of the fittest" only deals with physical prowess
but "fittest" can really mean any attribute that will let you win against others
this includes intelligence, passion, or even greed among many others

This is your second fallacy
Caucasians are not the the largest group, Asians are
I'm assuming you are talking about the world population right?
because it would not make sense to talk about population numbers in terms of evolution if you just pick one country
specially a country with a relatively short history
I think you don't really understand how evolution works (Darwinian evolution)

If you want to include that in "fittest"...all those other things, then fine... go right ahead because there may very well be something to it but I wouldn't be so eager to point out "fallacies" in my argument when the "fallacies" you point out directly debase your own argument.
Originally posted by NotAnAspie
So, basically you are saying that's all survival of the fittest so that means we are still totally operating on survival, scratch your original argument then I guess. Any more "fallacies" we want to point out?

I had no intentions of giving you a hard time because I hadn't taken offense to anything you said, just wanted to throw some conjecture your way for exploratory conversation... but when it comes to a hard time, I'm always ready for one.
Originally posted by NotAnAspie
Don't let this get to your nerves now. It shouldn't be taken that way. It ruins a real conversation... but then again so does telling me that I don't understand evolution based on two points that don't necessarily have anything to do with evolution.
Originally posted by NotAnAspie
Caucasians are the largest race... over twice as many as there are Asians, but Asians have the largest ethnic group- Han Chinese.

Couple of things I see now is the reason why I originally took your comment about evolution no longer moving as kind of a stunted statement is because not only do YOU not understand evolution if you think it has simply stopped but the reason you come to these conclusions is because you don't really understand the world in general if you don't understand what an Imperialistic colonizing crusading baby factory the Catholic church has been running for ages.

How are you supposed to know any of this or figure any of this out?! You don't know what the hell is going on.
So I guess I will leave you alone so you can go do your homework or whatever before you regret replying back to me because at this rate, it's gonna happen.

But i broke the mold and threw away what millions of year's of my family tree never did for love.
Selfish of me in a way if you think of it that way.
