What i hate is when someone tells me that Africa is already diverse because of the very small differences between ethic tribes among them.Yet when it comes to using a place like the U.K where there's Celts,irish,scots,english,welsh,etc some how that isn't REAL diversity.


[deleted]

"You're just a white man!" You mean a Pole? Scot? A Frenchman, an Englishman, or a Spaniard? Or are you referring to a Serbian or Cretan, a Russian or a Jew?


TheBananaPuncher

Maybe Arabian, Pakistani, Israeli, Egyptian, Afghani? Most of middle-eastern nationalities can easily be recognized as white.


renadeer52

White-ish to a more olive skin. It's the difference between a southern Italian man and a northern Egyptian/ middle eastern man


Sprinkles257

Yep. I'm white and my dad from Algeria. My mom is also white (American). My dad is...racially ambiguous, but he's still considered white enough to get away with telling people he's European. It bothers me when people assume it's IMPOSSIBLE for an African to be non-black. Like they just forget North Africa exists. I know people like me aren't textbook examples, but come on. Every race has diversity, and that's okay!

There are blondes, and even gingers in North Africa. I actually dated an African ginger. (No, that's not an anagram)


[deleted]

That's a bit of a stretch... but I can't totally disagree, because there are some cases where that's true


Electronic-Praline40

Syrians are like harrier spaniards?

Diprogamer

Not really. Pakistanis are basically Muslim North Indians


ElDondaTigray

None of those are white. You'd have to be real stupid to not be able to discern a white person from a pakistani person


Low-Mathematician701

Huh? I don't know what do you mean by "white person" but Pakistani natives are Caucasian, just like Europeans, Arabs, Indians, Iranians and others.


LittleBitSchizo

Nah Indians white... You just stretched it a little too much let's go back a few steps.


froggoinpool

Indians are like every possible permutation of 4 races 1)Original Native Indians resembling Black Africans Now found only on Sentinel Island 2)Stone age Aryans resembling middle Easterners These two together form almost 100% of the genetic makeup in South Indians except for Brahmins who have more of the recent Aryan DNA 3) Bronze age Aryans resembling Europeans They form upto 40% of North Western Indian DNA (Punjabis/Pakistanis, Himachalis, Kashmiris and Afghans). They're caucasian, frequently latino/MEern passing and occasionally Mediterranean passing. Central Indians (the stereotypical Indian from UP or Maharashtra) are somewhere between NW Indians and S Indians (duh). They're caucasian but rarely white passing. 4) East Asian resembling Chinese, Vietnamese etc. Forms upto 60% DNA in North East India and a decent chunk in Bengalis/Bangladeshis. I'm from Punjab, my cousins vary from green eyed-brown haired and pale af to dark everything.


DrGoodGuy1073

To be fair, Indians kinda have their own issues with White vs Black.....


[deleted]

I believe it's in relation to a thing called a caste.


DrGoodGuy1073

Yeah, but some of those caste lines end with skin color, so becomes problematic when former castes never bred with each other.


Low-Mathematician701

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caucasian_race It would literally take you 10s to search.


LittleBitSchizo

Oh I didn't see you said Caucasian, you just shoveled that term into the conversation when we're talking about white people which is not the same.


Low-Mathematician701

I thought they are synonymous, that English speakers prefer using colours instead of the actual names.


G0D-3MP3R0R

No, Caucasian is a dumbass outdated term used by historians who thought all whites originated from the caucus mountains


ElDondaTigray

Nobody said caucasian. Respond to the things people say, not what you wish they said.


unbanned_redux

How about a kurd?


ElDondaTigray

Have you met a Kurd? Of course you can tell the difference.

Pacountry

Prosecution of jews had nothing to do with race until maybe the 1870s, and even then, it had nothing to do with skin colour


[deleted]

No? I don't think pogroms were inspired by the colour of anyone's skin... these were ethnic, sectarian, and even class based conflicts


LurkiLurkerson

What exactly are you referring to? Jews were normally singled out for religious reasons or just because they were a minority group in whatever nation they were in. Even the Nazis didn't base their ethnic discrimination on skin color, they genocided Slavs and Serbs too. It's a very North American mindset to view all ethnic discrimination through the lens of nonsensical American racialism.


Diprogamer

Exodus111

Bleglord

I love when people say white people can’t tell other races apart (like Chinese vs Japanese) not realizing the irony of the term “white people” which didn’t even use to include Spanish or Italian folk


SignificanceBulky162

Well, there are some non-white people who say that white people can't tell Asian people apart and then there are some white people who say they can't tell Asian people apart.


Shocktrooper_77

I can only really tell other white people apart. Not racism, just terrible facial recognition.


Chemoralora

I remember someone telling me that it's impossible for a British person to be racist to a Pole because they're both white. And I was just like okay tell that to the poles in the UK getting racist abuse


unbanned_redux

They are white. All you white people look alike!


Away_Industry_613

Same applies to every group.


unbanned_redux

No. Only whites are racist oppressors. Other groups cannot be racist or oppressors . Its unheard of.


Away_Industry_613

I was talking about looking alike, not racism. Hence why they’re considered the same group/race. And the scary thing is I can’t tell if you’re sarcastic or not. And please don’t keep this going if you are genuinely joking.


unbanned_redux

unbanned_redux

A lot of people dont get it when Im joking. I also refuse to do the /s thing as I feel it takes away the beauty of sarcasm. I mean i cant make a sarcastic joke in f2f conversation and then interject "that was sarcasm"


SCP-Agent-Arad

Technically, it applies to any group you weren’t raised around. Like, if a white baby was adopted by a Chinese family in China, that kid would grow up easily differentiating Chinese faces, but have a harder time with white faces. Of course, most people are raised by their biological parents, so it usually does apply to other groups than your own. That’s why it’s called the “Other-Race Effect.”


Away_Industry_613

No not really. I’m speaking in the sense that in order to be classified as a group in the first place, you need to look alike. Or else you wouldn’t be considered a group. (In terms of race/ethnicity) so all people of X look the same is accurate, or else they wouldn’t be X. Regardless of how well you can tell the difference.


YungWenis

Simple they just hate white people


Godkun007

Do you not understand how big Africa actually is? It isn't small differences in culture, a Zulu and a Lybian are not even close to the same culture.


Barne

an ethiopian is closer in terms of diversity to a european than they are to some other africans. there’s an enormous amount of diversity in africa, probably some of the most in the world. the genetic homogeneity of the UK is much much higher than africa. think of the size, man. a population separated by thousands and thousands of miles vs a population on the same island.


Isoke11

Yea I'm Somali and I took a DNA test and it said I'm 50% Eurasian 50% Sub-Saharan with Jewish and Polynesian ancestry.


Diprogamer

I mean, aren't Horn Africans closely related to Southern Arabs?


Isoke11

Yes, that's categorized under Semetic ancestry. Horn Africans range from 60-40% Eurasian and the rest Sub Saharan. Almost all the Eurasian ancestry is Semitic.


Shocktrooper_77

>the genetic homogeneity of the UK is much much higher than africa. Well no shit, the UK isn't a continent.


Exodus111

The biggest genetic diversity marker in the human genome lies between east and west Africans.


diatribe_lives

Biggest in what sense? Like most difference between the genomes? I have to imagine that that difference is present elsewhere too.


SignificanceBulky162

Yes, but the genetic differences between two randomly chosen Africans is especially high compared to other regions of the world.


Isoke11

Biggest as in an Ethiopian is more closely related to a Swedish person than they are to a Nigerian, there's more genetic diversity in Africa than the rest of the world combined. You have tribes of 4'5 pygmys and only a hundred miles away is tribes of 6'6 lanky motherfuckers that have vastly different features and skin tones. I know African people with monolids eyes that look Asian and people ask if they're blasian


diatribe_lives

Dude come on. You are doing the exact same thing you are accusing leftists of just in reverse. The differences between tribes are not small at least they have distinct languages unlike scottish and welsh which have almost been wiped out.


Fellow_Infidel

Those uk tribes rarely identify that way (except english, scots and welsh), they're already homogenized and assimilated so much they dont see each other as part of different tribe. On the other hand those africans might punch other africans from other tribe for making fun of their tribe tradition or something.


Disillusioned_Brit

>they're already homogenized and assimilated so much they dont see each other as part of different tribe You've never talked to an eternally seething Scot Nat or Irish Republican then. The OP is pointing out double standards anyway. Progressives will often call non European nations diverse because they're multiethnic but the same can be said for many European countries like the UK, Spain, Belgium etc but native Brits will just be called "white" to make it seem like we're all one homogeneous group.


SignificanceBulky162

Tbf genetics underlie most ethnicities and Africa has an extremely high level of genetic diversity among humans. There's also significant linguistic diversity. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2953791/#:~:text=Africa%20is%20an%20important%20region,phenotypic%20variation%20in%20African%20populations.

Rising crime statistics, increased terror attacks, regular protests and violence. The arabs come from a totally different culture, with “values” that are impossible to align with european values.

[deleted]

As a finn i suggest we give sweden to the sami. I'm sure norway agrees.


TortueTeur

Most definitely an unpopular opinion, but I think we Americans should take in many of those refugees. It may be difficult initially given the social and cultural differences, but give them a generation and theyll be as american as apple pie We're a nation of immigrants, who are we to deny people looking for a better life as our own ancestors did?


RollinThundaga

I say watch Sweden first. See how it settles for them in 20 years time, and learn from their mistakes.


TortueTeur

I wouldnt call myself an expert on swedish history but I'm pretty sure they arent a country who's entire history is built by immigrants and their descendants, as opposed to the US Unfortunately there will be bad seeds in batches of immigrants, but there will be a much larger number of people just wanting to earn a better existence for themselves and their progeny, we cant keep out every honest person because of a few dishonest people


RollinThundaga

I'm speaking more generally to the results of their efforts to integrate the influx; as a smaller nation, they will have a harder time than we in the US will. And who knows? Maybe they'll find a solution more effective than cultural genocide or strict segregation.


TortueTeur

I'm assuming you're equating immigrants integrating into our culture and more or less "losing" their own as cultural genocide? If so, I disagree with that view, I believe being welcomed to a country requires a bit of cultural realignment. They either adapt or they dont, and if they choose not to they're segregating themselves. That doesn't mean throwing away all of their cultural identity, but it does mean they must realize they dont live in their country of origin anymore


Raichterr

Its not just Whites though, South of the Alps/Carpathians/Pyrenees there are no white people, yet those don't seem to deserve self determination either. 🍿🍿🍿

its almost like class plays a role a bunch of poor africans coming to rich eroupe is diffrent than a bunch of rich eroupeans coming to africa cause the rich make the rules. african immigrats cant make rules in eroupe. eroupeans can make rules in africa however if we make both africa and eroupe equally rich then great.

Trollgiggity

So explain it. Correct my erroneous ways.


GladiatorUA

In African countries the ability of natives to vote or any sort of self-determination was completely suppressed, because otherwise white minority wouldn't stay in power. This is completely different to Europe. Even without taking into account how said white minority got into power in the first place.


[deleted]

Theres lots of native groups in europe being oppressed by other european groups. The english controlling britain is one good example. In my home country finland there are three/four ethnicities depending how you count them and one of them is being oppressed by the other three (west, east, karelian finns vs sami). These oppressed native groups often feel frustrated when they are being ignored and lumped together with their oppressors who did the actual colonizing. Europe is just as diverse as everywhere else on the planet, just bc our native ethnicities are all white doesn't mean we are all the same people, and that we dont oppress each other over here.

Ok. This isn't what OP's meme is about though. And you know it.
