I don't think the idea of a "colorblind meritocracy" is honestly a very good goal state.

Nations should be conscious and protective of their ethnicities. A 'national identity' can only extend the common tribe so much. Assimilation is rarer than we thought.

In many places, like Japan, the overlap between national identity and ethnicity is nearly 100%, and that's worth preserving.

In highly mixed countries, like America, it is better to develop a shared pride for the ethnicities of the country than pretend they don't exist.

This is how I see it, if the world can truely achieve a bitcoin standard, most ethnicities would find their way to their native lands. Fiat I believe is what has allowed for economic migration of unboundless proportion

I also do think a study needs to be done on this, just life Saifedean wrote in The Bitcoin Standard. Fiat affects the culture, the food, the music, the art and a lot of our lives that most are so unaware of.

The stupidest thing we do is identify our ethnic backgrounds.

Since the 1980s on applications asking for race is dumb. Especially calling "white" a race. There are plenty of white people who definitely do not reflect the values of my family.

In the military it's a culture in itself and I was promoted both by black commanders, white and Hispanic because I always helped other people when they needed help because I could.

I'm very grateful I grew up in an area where my friends were from all over the world due to the many military bases around us. In elementary school we sang Jewish and Christmas songs for our plays and some of us were from India and Pakistan, too! That's in the 1970s.

The diversity politics of the last 4 years has been specifically designed to trigger whites. It's also been a continuation of the 1960s division of Black families. It's central planning and central planning is no good. What we need is central unraveling.
