9/26 Not a troll, just a hypothetical question. If I breed with a
Caucasian woman, will I help increase gene pool diversity, restore
the "genetic vigor", and improve the human race in general? In
another word, what is the probability that our children be as
smart as I as and as healthy as she is, vs. the probability of
our children be as dumb as she is and as weak as I am? -SAM
\_ Hapa nation! We Will Bury You! --brain
\_ Fat blonde crazy ass Britney Spears genes need not be
passed on to the human race.
\_ Too late for that.
\_ That you're asking this question seriously brings into doubt the
idea that any given Caucasian woman is dumber than you are.
\_ Not only that, but the guy has it wrong. Asian women breed
with white men. Asian guys don't get the caucasian poon.
\_ hypothetical means "in theory" which has no implied
correlation with reality, right?
\_ As I recall, 45% of asian-american women are married to white
guys, 36% of asian-american men are married to white women.
\_ Based on personal accounts I believe the 45% number. I'm
a bit dubious about the 36% though. Are these
Asian-American men married to REAL white women, or virtual
from Second Life and World of Warcraft? -Asian
\_ I don't know, at church I know 2 asian-asian couples, 2
asian-man white-woman couples, and 1 white-man asian woman
couple (mine).
\_ Interesting. How about outside of church?
\_ I think in my experience, for marriage, the 36% is
born out. I think there's a lot of white-man/asian-
woman dating that doesn't result in marriage.
\_ Interesting. We've been married 11 years, but
many people assume we're just dating. Is this a
function of the WM/AW phenom?
\_ You recall incorrectly. Or your source was wrong.
http://www.asian-nation.org/interracial.shtml
WM-AF marriage is about 2.5X as likely as the converse.
\_ They are more or less equally probable, you must have lots of kids.
According to my asian wife, white women can have more children.
\_ They WANT to have more children or they are more CAPABLE
of having more children?
\_ can == capable
\_ The key is SELECTIVE breeding, a known and proven technique
used since the dawn of domestication. Basically, assume
the attributes are either/or (dominant/recessive), which
is NOT the case here but for the sake of simplicity, you
have the followings:
1 25% chance of smart + healthy
2 25% chance of dumb + healthy
3 25% chance of smart + weak
4 25% chance of dumb + weak
So if you have LOTS of children and kill off all 2,3, and 4
then only the smart and healthy one will propagate and
improve the race.
\_ Since, as you point out, this is not how the genetics of IQ
work, people who follow Punnett Squares for eugneics are
really working to remove themselves from the survival pool.
\_ the problem comes when you want to implement "kill off all
2 3 4." Not exactly socially acceptable here, especially
when humans are involved.
\_ Non-show quality, companion pets are usually neutered.
\_ It is too bad that the Nazis gave such a bad name
to eugenics. No, I am not being sarcastic here.
\_ If Hitler hated the Jews so much, he should have
have just NEUTERED them. By doing so, he would
have kept the Jew scientists to make THE BOMB
while satisfying his goals of 1) decreasing
the Jews population 2) winning the war.
Thank God Hitler wasn't too smart to figure
it out.
\_ The Nazis had a number of sterilization
projects. One of the research areas for which
human beings were used in the camps was cheap
and effective methods of sterilization. Learn
your history. -- ilyas
\_ The U.S. was also engaged in sterilization
of our own citizens and we were doing it
before the Nazis even existed. There is a
reason we don't do this anymore. Our society
has a higher sense of morals than we did then.
\_ When we try to make our horses/dogs better
(faster, smarter, stronger), it's called
"improving the breed." When we encourage
smart people to breed (e.g. Singapore has
tax incentives for educated ppl to have
more kids), it's called eugenics. Go figure.
\_ When you can tell the difference between live
stock and humans, come back and we'll talk
about it.
\_ Well, there isn't really that much
difference, when you come right down
to it. -!pp
\_ And it is the inability to see that this
both true and not relevant to society
at the same time that separates the
geeks and freaks from the norms.
\_ Eugenics appeals to geeks because it appears to
be an elegant solution. The reality is always
much messier.
\_ Yeah like the day someone decides that skinny
smelly people are to all be executed in favor
of muscle bulging thick jawed wrestlers.
\_ China bears her observation out, huh? |
