*Racism is Good*

It is equally as stupid to say that:

1. All races are the same
2. One race has every good gene

Races are different, and we as humans are perfectly capable of recognizing many of these differences. We have an innate understanding of familiarity, tradition, history, and culture. This understanding is natural and right, and it is a fact that all these things are tied to race. They cannot be untied. There is no racially neutral face, tradition, history curriculum, or cultural practice. 

This is important, because humans are inherently [[Definitions/Collectivism|collectivists]]. Therefore, the story of humanity is the story of our collectives. And, if none of these collectives are racially neutral, then the story of humanity is also the story of races.

The Bible is well aware of this. It is the reason why Abraham's lineage is traced so carefully, and why it was great  when God told him his descendants would "number like the stars". Because humanity is about community, the measure of a man is more about the community he can create and push forward than about his personal characteristics.

A common critique of racism is that it is a new concept, developed in the 19th century, and therefore is not part of the Western tradition.

This critique is effective against the large-scale political implementation of scientific racism and eugenics, which is a bad idea. But there are many ways to be racist, and one does not need to advocate for scientific discrimination to be discriminatory.

For instance, when we see huge numbers of Mexicans coming over the border - Mexicans are very different from each other, but we know enough to know whether we want millions more or not. It doesn't take science, or even a scientific concept of race, to repel millions of foreign brown people invading our land. This way of thinking is timeless, and would have been shared by any Western nation throughout all history. In other words, Xenophobia is the human norm. Judging people's looks is also the easiest way to discriminate. And there's nothing wrong with it.

If we understand this, and we understand that all culture is inherently tied to race, then we understand that any long-standing nation must be *correlated* with race. It must have a racial identity which people can understand.

*Eugenics is Bad*

However, scientific racism and large-scale eugenics are *new* concepts. And these concepts do bring considerably more risk.

When we are racist towards large masses of unfamiliar people, this is a natural and healthy response. Any self-respecting nation should act this way. However, attempting to delve into genomics in attempts to prove or disprove the mass inferiority of another race is very different. There is nothing wrong with studying scientific racial differences, and in fact it is very interesting, but too much emphasis on these justifications brings us an entirely different form of racism.

Instead of being naturally competitive and xenophobic, this form of racism is unnatural and an attempt to play God. When put into legislative practice, it is an attempt to replace natural forms of movement with artificial notions of which genes are superior. The truth is that we don't *need* to know whether a genome is superior or not - as long as a large group is unfamiliar or displeasurable to us, we are perfectly justified in repelling them from our lands. Or, even, taking some of theirs.

However, it is unnatural to play God by determining the fate of an entire race with genetic science justifications. It also separates us from those people, in a different way than simply fighting a war with them. It makes the feud inhuman, and the killing mechanized. It is one reason the Holocaust is such a powerful narrative - because mechanized killing is disgusting to us in the same way as factory farming.

The path is not to seek racial hierarchy from science, because what is the point? We will see their inferiority on the battlefield. That is how God chooses the winners.

So, in conclusion: be racist. 

Delve into the science, if you wish, but remember it is a supplement.

They are foreign. They are weird. And we don't want them here!
