There is no evolutionary benefit to this. I don't think you honestly believe this shit and just chalk it up to you conflating tribalism and racism.
i have been talking this whole time about evolutionary psychology.

we really have to separate general xenophobia and racism here. one could argue about innate xenophobia but innate racism? that's bullshit because as mayfuck said those races are nonexistent in the first place.

and if we're talking about some kind of natural xenophobia, well, then talking to an asian woman for the first time isn't any more frightening than riding your bike without training wheels for the first time. it should be just as natural for people to overcome it.

Some races are less or more susceptible to certain diseases, so I would say that maintaining diversity - as a species - would be evolutionarily beneficial.

Stop trying to make yourself out to be a minority. You live in Whittier: you're not a minority:
Hispanic or Latino of any race were 55.9% of the population (2000 Census). Marginalization? Ha. You're the majority. The establishment.

Also since that was a 2000 census I'm sure the percentage is much higher now since hispanics breed like Mogwai in a thunder storm

The majority perhaps, but definitely not the establishment. But changes are happening at least in California anyway.

regardless julio must have been a minority in the neighbourhood or school he grew up in, and must've been the victim of racism. there's really no other way to explain his randomly bringing race into non-race arguments.

Chinatown is a subsection of a larger city. It's not a fair comparison. look at LA County:
Demographics (as of 2006)

As of: 1 July 2006[3]
  • Total Population: 9,948,081, a 4.4% increase between 2000 and 2005, or about 27% of California's population.
Non Hispanic Persons: 52.7%
  • White (Non-Hispanic/Non-Latino): 29.2%
  • Black: 9.6%
  • Asian: 13.1%
  • Other: 0.90%
Hispanic or Latino: 47.3%

Under 50%, but still by FAR the largest demographic.

But even then there is a percentage of those 47.3% that are white. 'hispanic' is a somewhat vague as a term used to describe race. But I would be confident that non blonde hair/blue eyed hispanics make up a plurality in LA county. It is nice not having a majority tho.

i dont "randomly" bring it. it only seems ''random'' because people are completely unaware of underlying prejudices they may have.

whatever. you can point to the fact that within a very small slice of the country, certain marginalized groups are the majority. but they're still marginalized. and in the big picture they're still the minority.

i think he means LA has a mexican mayor. and there are mexicans in other notable positions of power in LA like city attorney and county board of supervisors. theres a number of congressional and assembly districts that are represented by hispanics.

thats beside the point though. when i said i was being marginzliaed i wasn't talking about politics.
