White supremacists are now trying to create panic among other bigots by claiming that the “white” race (by which they mean fair-skinned Caucasians) is vanishing. Actually, what’s happening is that, since the most-developed countries are largely inhabited by Europeans and their descendants, their birth rates are most subject to the birth rate decrease which is typical of highly-developed societies, and thus the number of “whites” is slowly decreasing in relation to other genetic groups who inhabit portions of the globe where the birth rate is not decreasing as quickly. But the mathematical, biological, historical, and sociological ignorance in which this manufactured hysteria is rooted isn’t as bad as its philosophical imbecility.
As I’ve previously pointed out, a species is merely a temporary configuration of genes “as permanent as a sand dune, albeit on a much longer time scale“. And because they are not reproductively isolated from each other like species, human races are even less permanent; they are like clouds drifting across the sky, shifting in shape and conformation, growing or shrinking or merging or splitting, and humans only imagine them as fixed structures because we’re so short-lived. Imagine a civilization of sand flies, each of whom lives only one day, panicking because their home dune is discovered to be getting smaller, while another nearby dune inhabited by slightly darker-colored flies is growing. That’s what this kind of race panic sounds like to me. Humans are a swarm of self-important flies having a collective conniption because they’ve learned that the manure heap they live in will, in the fullness of time, eventually rot away, and are trying to develop schemes to cement it into place and exterminate the cows who keep dropping new ones elsewhere.
