Is anyone here against miscegenation? Does anyone favor racial nationalism to diversity and mixing? I'm not talking about racial supremacy, just seperatism.

I think people should be able to breed with whoever they please (so long as it's between consenting adults, of course).

Once race can be defined, genetically, I'll answer. Otherwise your question is far too vague, based on group consensus not fact.

In a perfect world it wouldn't matter who married whom, but we don't live in a perfect world.

In our world the best chance at "happily ever after" is to marry someone just like you.
Same race, same religion, same education, same economic background.

Among humans there is no miscegenation. A dog f*cking a cat. That is miscegenation. A human f*cking a sheep, that is miscegenation. A human f*cking a human of the opposite gender is business as usual.

True. And that is the basis of dating companies like eharmony. Matching people according to demographics.

But the issue here isnt about happy ever after. It is about miscegenation. Reproduction. Genetic diversity and mixing. About the babies genetics and health, not about the parents emotional satisfaction.

And in that regard, genetic cross over wins.

Otherwise we should all marry our cousins. That route didnt do very well for the royalty of Europe.

Agree agree. Mixing it up greatly reduces the chances of hereditary disease. That alone should be enough to give it the thumbs up.

Inbreeding is definately unhealthy. So is mixing with populations too genetically different from you. Haven't you heard of outbreeding depression? Or the health consequences? There are studies to prove it.stats

Psuedo science and statistical nonsense. The human race is a race of mutts.

I'll try not to be too harsh on you, because you are obviously young, and misinformed.
But I do think that, perhaps, you should come back to this question when you're a bit older, and have had the chance to breed with someone yourself.
As Ruveyn so eloquently put it, there is no such thing as miscegenation amongst human beings.

I beg to differ with Wombat though:

Same race, same religion, same education, same economic background.

This I believe is misguided. Differences between couples can be perfectly healthy, and both parties can be enriched and grow from them.

No words come to mind but bs b/c the human race is not comprised of different "races" that're THAT genetically different...

Please take a class and study about human genetics before coming up with this kind of nonesense. Race has been carelessly regarded as the main contributor for most of the problems in the world for many years. There are many factors that you have not pointed out such as social status, cultural differences, government, religion, society, beliefs...etc...

What a bunch of baloney. Even ranchers with thousands of head of cattle introduce new breeding into their herd because its beneficial.

Cross breeding of domestic American pigs and Siberian boars results in an animal that is far more robust than the breeding stock.

...I know I, like everyone else here, was looking for someone to tell me who I can have sexual intercourse with.
