Constituting over 1/6 of the total world population... the farthest thing from being extinct.

Actually only roughly half have epicanthal folds.
Less in southern populations.
(Of course they still look the same)

In Hawaii I am white. Here in California I am nominally white, in a good part of the US I am "something" Probably Not White. It tells you something about the overarching needs of Empire over family/folk that I don't know what that Something is! One theory is part Navajo Indian, via a 'squaw' a great-grandfather bought. Another theory is probably Jewish. I need to pop the $100 or so and get that damn skin scraping sent off to the National Geographic site, because I'm curious! I have a long Caucasian head, and features that could be mostly Caucasian but part Indian or Middle-Eastern of some type. I'm pretty light, but get pretty dark in the sun - today I noticed at the post office that my hands/arms are the same color as the cardboard boxes I was handling, and the same color as the obviously nonwhite lady helping me.

Interesting though, being able to change from white to nonwhite depending on where in the US I live!

I agree that in a future that has limited mobility, racial mixing will decrease. Its pretty dam hard to "mix" if you cant get move about easily, and right now it is real easy to do so. I disagree that diversity will lead to a bloodbath in every diverse region. It will only in those areas where two or at most three well entrenched groups with a pre-existing hatred will duke it out. Think the US south or the San Joaquin Valley of CA. If there are multiple ethnic groups, I can't see anything escalating to that level of violence as none would gain the advantage. Nor does it make sense in areas where the minority is less than 20%. The minority obviously couldnt threaten the survivability of the majority and the small size of the minority wont leave the majority feeling vulnerable and needing to act. With social interraction the community would function generally as a single unit and with several generations of intermarriage and breeding, the majority would absorb the minority--though many genetic traits would continue to express themselves for generations.

Personal examples: My wife is Mexican yet her family has a few *asian* facial traits. Why? Because one of her ancestors was Filipino, back when Spain administered the Philippines from Mexico. At the same my daughters are a quirky mix of us. One is dark complected with European facial features while the other is kinda blonde with blue eyes and more hispanic facial features. Weird huh? It's all superficial of course and that's my point. And I'd consider none of it to be a "degradation". This kind of change is good and healthy for the species as a whole, genetically speaking.

Got news for ya pea..... anyplace with too many people is going to be a bloodbath. Europe was one big bloodbath from time to time due to population overshoots. You think Salt Lake City's going to be any less of a bloodbath because it's so white? You think East St. Louis is going to be less of a bloodbath bedause it's so nice and pure and black?

Nope, it's not race it's TOO MANY PEOPLE.

Oh OK pea .... I misread your post. Yeah, people who know each other, feel they're all in it together, will tend to be less ready to fight each other.
