Race

Race issues caused our bloodiest war, and still make headlines daily.

Counter-Propaganda

Just as a white man has different skin color from a black man, so it is quite possible that he also has a somewhat different mind. But given what we know of evolution, it is not very likely. The evolutionary pressures that have shaped the human mind—principally competitive relations with kin members, tribal allies, and sexual partners—are and have been the same for white and black men and were at work before the ancestors of whites left Africa 100,000 years ago. While skin color is affected by things such as climate, which differs markedly between Africa and northern Europe, the shape of the mind is affected only very marginally by nonhuman problems such as what kind of game to hunt or how to keep warm or cool. Infinitely more important is how to deal with fellow human beings, and that is the same problem everywhere.

(One common rebuttal to the above you’ll find on the Internet is racial disparities in IQ. But these are overblown. With proper nutrition and culture, in just a single generation, all groups converge to a baseline IQ of around 100. Take South Korea as an example.)

Questions

Hey, Dan, what’s your race?

My parents are Hindu Baniyas from Rajasthan, India.

Most non-white Americans have been abused (e.g. slavery, genocide, deportation, internment), so Americans are conditioned by decades or centuries of propaganda to label and mistreat them. Race is a product of violence, a contrived excuse for theft and murder.

But Hindu-Americans have never been subject to a hate campaign by the American government, and I feel accepted for who I am. I love America, and am grateful for my good life here.

I’m Hindu-American. Any advice?

You can’t afford to be passive. If your life goal is “work a white-collar office job for 50 years until I die at my desk”, that is unlikely to pan out. AI-enabled offshoring has changed the game. Work harder. There is no longer a premium to being a mediocre American. Stop coasting.

Also, stop combining the worst aspects of Indian and American culture. Most Hindus I know keep the weird third-world stuff (refusal to exercise, laziness) while also embracing Western stupidity (degenerate liberal politics, having only 1 or 2 children, not teaching their kids dharma).

If you refuse to properly engage with the world, it will leave you behind. Get your act together.

I’m white! Any advice?

To get away with racism, you need to be either the majority group or very wealthy. You are neither. Whites are a minority of young Americans, and with the exception of Boomers, you have no money.

Whites were 30% of the global population in 1950. You are 10% today. White deaths exceed births. There are 3 million fewer white Americans in 2026 than in 2016. Your median age is 45 years old.

You are not special. You are a dying circumcised pig. The clock is ticking.
