Wink wink...wink is a worthless term like what race is this dog?...shiatsu? Husky? Bulldog? Chihuahua?
In scientific terms all dogs are Canis if they can fuck and make other dog....now replace Canis with human and call that a species within a genus. Realize that the Dutch and the Japanese can have babies if they just fuck for once. Dutch, Japanese, Mexican etc, those are nationalities and are all meaningless scientifically and biologically. "Hispanic" another bullshit term like African American or people of color.
I would prefer to be called by my name, my pronouns or at least "that guy over there". There's a reason I migrated to this country. This country offered "better". So all you gotta do is be honest and open about it...
"Hello Americans, we, the Republican party cheated to gain control of this land. We would like it to be populated only by pasty looking racists. Everyone with melanin should leave now. Not you Mr president, that's Melania, not melanin. Oh that? That's melanoma, trust us you're good. No, no, the melanoma is bad, but you can stay, oh your orangeness."
Like that, nobody would want to visit... Just like now! Good job!
I hear this point raised somewhat frequently, and I understand the sentiment, but it's just incorrect. There are physical and genetic differences between different groups of people from different parts of the world. We are all human and all deserve respect, but I think papering over our differences and declaring we're all the same introduces an unnecessary level of doublethink to the discussion.
At least this AI is correct:
No, there are no genetic differences that make Japanese people (or Dutch, Mexican, or African people) a different species from one another . Here's why:
So as you can imagine, my kids who are born from a father of one nationality and a mother from another nationality across the globe have no "race" or "ethnicity" both of which are social constructs and are not genetic or scientifically relevant terms... And we're brown. As soon as anyone mentions those terms in a conversation my brain tells me to walk away. When my kids were born, an island nation didn't suddenly pop up mid Atlantic... Or more accurately, a freaking land ring did not appear. They cannot be deported to anything where they came from except for the USA. They don't have specific eye features that tell anyone they come from New York. No Jaw bone spurs that only appear in native SanDiegans (L-O-fucking-L).
Literally, the city I was born in is twice as old as the US and people from my country funded her country... Only hundreds of years ago. The time between the roman empire and now is not significantly long to create a human sub species. So from a scientific logical person to the rest of y'all, forget these terms and anything else as such. Say "a person born in Arizona was murdered by a gov agency today". That's much more accurate.
Except for that one random person who fucks up all statistics every time:

Fine, humans and that woman from Guadalupe. But that's it. We're all the same 99.9%.

Look ma! No Japan!

The Japanese from St. Louis Missouri. You might think...hhhmm they look like the real thing! Buy nah, it's just Americans born in America doing melting pot things like the rest of us.
There's even Japanese Native American people:

My wife happens to be Japanese native mix from a different country far from Japan or America. LOL where to deport such a person? Right? That's the question burning thru orange turd's mind, if it had one.
Hint: They don't care.
Exactly true. They just want us running scared.
I think you misunderstand me. They don't care where they deport people. One drop rule, your wife would at best be deported to Japan. At worst, somewhere in south America because they truly don't care where they go.
There's a lot going on here, so I won't try to respond to all of it.
My point is merely that there are population clusters with genetic differences. It's incorrect to say that we are all human, therefore scientifically we are all the same. In aggregate, the people of Japan are not the same as the people of Ireland. (This paragraph makes zero claims about individuals; it is scoped to large groups of people.)
I just want to clarify that I'm not claiming that "race" per se is a thing, nor am I claiming that there are any mutually-incompatible human species. I'm not attempting to say anything about nationality, country borders, or deportations. The political madness happening in the USA is truly disgusting. I am deeply saddened by the cruelty and hatred that's on display.
I understand "My point is merely that there are population clusters with genetic differences. It's incorrect to say that we are all human, therefore scientifically we are all the same. In aggregate, the people of Japan are not the same as the people of Ireland". The differences you mention as genetic can only be those that separate one person from another for example hair color, eye color, height, etc. All those localized differences don't exist in the US because they are only sustained by having populations that rarely migrate. So when you visit Mexico and you're the tallest guy in a huge crowd some of that comes from what you eat and some from your unique makeup as an individual. However our gene composition is all the same and only the various phenotypes change.
some other differences like vulnerability to certain diseases, like melanoma, CELIACS are uncommon in asians, and darker skin people while common europeans. additionally some people have parts of denisovan and neathardal Dna in them, but Africans dont. indigeneuous people of tibet have a gene that allows them to acclimate to altitude more easily, it came from denisovan lineage.
Dude, 99.9%. Like I said, local isolation has it's markers. Denisovan or Neanderthal remnants only prove that both species did live together in some areas of the world. Certainly if someone came to me claiming their pinky toe is 100% Neanderthal, I would be interested naturally lol. But its not like that, not a clean simple discernable difference. Its just some patterns that are more available in some areas. Like if you lived in a cave with Neanderthals and we awaited for you for a few thousand years, the people coming out would have some of your DNA (if you were daring like that) and the rest of the Neanderthals outside would not. And a tiny vestigial remnant is not going to make one person super smart and superior. You're talking to an indigenous brown person. We're created equal. There's no difference that makes any particular group superior over another.
