Back to the OP, has anyone seen Rooster Teeth's Star Race Wars?

What is white genocide supposed to be? There are claims that diversity is only for white countries. And yet, I have never heard any quote from anyone claiming that white countries have an exclusive duty to allow anyone and everyone to immigrate there regardless of ethnic descent. In fact, a Stanford University economist wrote a book about migrations which defeats this notion.

White genocide is supposedly the idea that pure whites (argument can be destroyed right there if you want, but I digress) are being replaced or bred out by other races. For instance, encouraging inter-racial couples means that mixed babies (like mine are going to be) will eventually mean the extermination of the pure white race. It's an evil Liberal agenda since they are the ones forcing tolerance on other people. :-/

I think it's down to what you do when you get there. Very few African countries would have an issue with a white European moving there to start a small business or take a teaching position or something, but if they bought up the mineral rights to several hundred acres and started a strip-mine while paying terrible wages and slipping the county council huge backhanders to expedite the planning application they'd be a bit less enthusiastic. Same way we white European liberals are generally pretty relaxed about the Polish fellas working on our building sites or the Turkish family running a kebab shop on the high street but less so about the Russian property billionaire who thinks income tax is for people too poor to hire a really clever accountant.

Inter-racial couples can easily be explained by a combination of sexual attraction and emotional intimacy. The former can be influenced by race- just as it can be influenced by other superficial characteristics.

Yeah they're not arguing the reasons behind inter-racial breeding, they're simply arguing that it's wrong and should be avoided.

There's kind of a mix of mentalities from what research I've done. The main thrust of one of them is "diversity for the sake of diversity is bad." But these types only really concern themselves with entertainment. They are so far away from anything related to race-mixing or immigration, it doesn't register for them. This is why even though the Star Wars bit was a troll, it was picked up and parroted as another example of how "those in power" or whatever, are trying to force their perspectives on us. This is also telling because the ethnicity of the actors in Star Wars literally does not matter. They aren't Earth humans. Chewy has more to talk about WRT slavery than Lando does. By contrast, Benjamin Sisko in DS9 had multiple story-arcs dealing with real-world racism, so Brooks being black actually did matter in some areas.

But for Star Wars, you can literally cast whoever you want and I'm sure it pisses them off even more because "why not just make them all white then?".

Pff. I'd say "why not just roll the dice, then?" (to select actor ethnicity for a role in Star Wars)
