Does the notion of a mixed world give anybody else visions of a horrible snowglobe?

Well at least we will be all equal (i mean there will never be discrimination based on race) There will still be plenty of discrimination based on language, culture, religion, traditions, social class, etc. East Asians grudgingly admit that the genetic differences between them are miniscule, but they still hate each other all the time based on language, culture, etc. Israelis and Arabs look alike, their genes are hardly different, but do they like each other?

Anyways my point in this topic is to demonstrate how even though with mixes, racial features can never be lost. The world is very diverse, and in theory (which is prone to the debate which I'm provoking) - You can mix up the world, yet you will still have stereotypical "Black" looking people "White" looking people, "Asian" looking people, "Brown" looking people etc. Even if we are all mixed. Although China is commonly regarded by most as a racially homogeneous country, it isn't. There are 56 ethnic minorities in China, which the incumbent government takes pains to make people aware of (eg. little known is that China has more Muslims than any other country). Most of these 56 minorities derive from migration between China 'proper' and the nomadic peoples to west and north. Before national borders existed, China maintained her geo-political boundaries with a vast bureaucracy that served to inculcate civilisation among the populace; that is, through propagating 'Chinese' customs and culture. As cultural fidelity was lost the further you went from the Imperial court (and the Emperor) the less 'Chinese' people were. Thus the border of the Empire was undefined. As 'civilisation' expanded, extraneous peoples were assimilated - many of those with features unlike what we would normally associate with Chinese people. The Emperor held what is known as the Mandate of Heaven, which states that he who takes the throne does so hold favour with Heaven and attains power on merit. Thus when the Mongols (Yuan Dynasty), and later the Manchus (Qing Dynasty) occupied the imperial court, it was deemed to be legitimate by Heaven (the Jurchen of the Jin Dynasty were also foreign invaders from the north). Thus by its very nature, and indeed constitution, China is a multi-ethnic country that explicitly does not (should not) discriminate on lines of race (but on lines of nationality). Aside: the notion of the Mandate of Haven remains true today, and it's believed that is why the CCP hold the reigned of power so tightly. For to be toppled is to have lost favour with Haven and to have relinquished the divine Mandate of Heaven. China does discriminate, China does assimilate, China is multi-ethnic, but its goal is to make one big multi-ethnic Han civilisation destroying the cultures, identity, ethnicity and ways of non-Han minorities. One thing I despise the most is when the CCP claim us as Chinese. thetincocoon.blogspot.com/2008/12/oirat-mongols.htmlErr nope, WE ARE ALTAIC MONGOLS We're STILL alive! Our enemies attempted to genocide us twice but we're still here! HA! And the majority of the world thinks we're all dead! But we aint!!, so kiss my Dzungar butt
