Good one!
I want to play Bubba. Question for thought. Why do many think White is the Dominate Race, when any mixed always take the look of the Non-White Race?
First of all, we have to bear in mind that even in the animal kingdom all animals are created equal but some are more equal than others. It is the nature of life we live in.
Now, when it comes to racial equality whites tend to see themselves as more equal than people of color even though we are all equal. Sometimes even among whites, some think you have to be the whitest to be white. Anything less is considered inferior.
The white people taking dominion over black people was rooted in their ability to explore the world in the early civilizations that landed them in Africa. Taking advantage of the hospitality of the African people allowed them to divide and conquer. Ever since then the white people have achieved psychological superiority and dominion over black and other people of color. Even if you are Mexican or Indian but white, you are still considered superior to none whites and that includes mixed race.
Any color less than white is inferior.
Unfortunately, that’s a stigma black and people of color have to deal with for a long time if not forever. It’s not going anywhere anytime soon.
Yep. Even Asians with a White Partner tend toward Asian look and not exactly White.
You are absolutely right. I even forgot to mention that. Thanks for bringing that up, DJ.
The entire issue of race is so important that I find the efforts of the right to limit those discussions as stupid.
Take myself as an example. My father was Chinese and my mother White. As a half-Chinese kid in Wisconsin, I never had a schoolmate of any color but white. No blacks, Hispanic, or even Asian, other than relatives.
The hurtful and damaging aspect of racism is that it can make kids ashamed of or wanting to change their race. As a kid, I was ashamed of being Chinese. When you’re biracial, you never fit either culture completely. That was how it was with me. Bullying as a kid made me the aggressive hard charging person I am.
At any rate, when you live as long as I have and meet so many people who are smarter, more talented, and more accomplished that you realize that race is a barrier that can be overcome but not by everybody or everywhere.
Very well put, Tom.
