Race is not an illusion. You can see the differences between the races with your own eyes. Culture means nothing without the race that is behind the culture. Even class is largely based on race. Cosmopolitanism is a lie and multiculturalism is a failure.
It all becomes more complicated when the mixed race issue is involved because then you aren't really accepted by either race without rejecting one part "proving" your credibility with the other race. Even then it's not without conditions, and you're living a lie on top of it. This whole mixed race issue is probably the main reason why I have SA in the first place. It is not worth it.
Of course one can see the difference between races. I'm not sure that I understand what you mean when you say that culture means nothing without the race. Would you be so kind as to elaborate on that?
I do believe that cultural reletavism is a failure but not multiculturalism.
For example, I don't think that there is anything wrong with a mulicultural society. Many cultures in history have been enriched by the contributions made by other cultures. I realize that many don't share my opinion but I rather like variety in my society. I am curious about other people's ways.
Now, I believe that cultural reletavism is flawed because it tends to promote unequal treatment where the law is concerned. A few years ago, in Germany, a man from Sardenia viciously beat his wife. The judge gave him a lesser sentence on account of the man's cultural background. He said that people were more open and tolerant of spousal abuse in Sardenia (which is the case with many people in Sardenia) so the man should not recieve the same punishment given to a German. This man was not brought to justice as an equal in order for the German judicial system to not appear racist or intolerant of other cultures.
I am of mixed race and I know that I'm not going to be accepted by
some people on one side and
some people on the other side. It used to hurt me when I was a child but thankfully this is something that I have come to accept and I've made my peace with it. I don't feel that I have to prove my racial credentials to anyone. If someone would expect me to reject either my mother or father's blood so that I can prove myself worthy, I would seriously tell them to go **** themselves. What makes them so special?
I have learned to be proud of every drop of blood running through my veins despite being told that I am one thing or not enough of another. I'm not going to let anyone take that away from me after all the shit I struggled with. I was reminded almost on a daily basis that I wasn't good enough because I was not enough of one thing and this used to hurt a lot.
Now if only I could get my other problems out of the way. :
