> There is an everyday meaning of “race”, yes. mostly about skin pigmentation, eye shape, bone shape. Things like that. So why do I mention the pseudo-scientific connection? Because “race-mixing” implies that different “races” breeding is bad, which must mean—beyond the completely shallow like the appearance of people who are “mixed”—that there is something substantive to the notion of races which makes mixed-race people inferior in some way. Or that non-<race> are inferior. But there isn’t. I'm going to try in good faith to follow what you just said. Or get so far as the part that makes me stop reading. > Because “race-mixing” implies that different “races” breeding is bad Why? Because a bunch of racist bullshit about the mud people? You're confusing the manifestation of an event with the social stigma around it. And there is no doubt at all that that stigma was abhorrent to its core (shout out to Dolphus Raymond), but that's got fuck all to do with what you are asserting. And by the way, mixed race people (unimaginary as they are) are sexy as hell.
