Let's first learn a story that happened in the early days of mankind.
Two million years ago, there were different primitive races in every corner of the earth. There are Neanderthals in Europe and Homo erectus in East Asia. Homo sapiens is just a population in the corner of East Africa. From 70,000 years ago when Homo sapiens moved out of East Africa to about 1000 years ago, Homo sapiens became the only intelligent race on the earth, and all other races have disappeared. What happened in the meantime? After archaeological excavations, scientists have a recognized theory called "substitution theory", that is, Homo sapiens moved to a new border and wiped out all the local aborigines.
In fact, we are no strangers to racial struggle, even extinction, because it is buried in our genes.
The deadliest ethnic conflict in history happened several times in China.
Any kind of differences, such as religious beliefs, eating habits, lifestyles, etc. ; Any degree of difference, such as dialect tone, costume pattern, headdress position, etc. , will separate some people from others, and then cause fierce conflicts. This differentiation in modern times is even more outrageous. Even if the teams they like are different, or the brands of cars are different, two groups of people can fight. In other words, as long as there are differences, there will be discrimination and conflict.
Racist advocates often use three excuses to illustrate their superiority: better looks, better physique and better culture. And such an excuse is actually a false proposition.
For appearance, it is usually the color of skin and hair. But the appearance characteristics are only the result of selective strengthening of the external environment.
And the physical rhetoric is even more ridiculous.
Diet, coupled with the influence of the environment, is highly positively related to physical fitness.
In an ant nest, the genes of queen ants and worker ants are exactly the same, but the difference is to change the external environment, specifically to inhibit the sexual maturity of worker ants with chemicals. The same is true of bee colonies, where queen bees and worker bees share the same genes. Only when the bee colony grows stronger, or the queen bee suddenly dies, will a new queen bee be born. The method is to feed a special food-royal jelly.
The choice of food may determine the physique of you and your descendants. Therefore, for friends who choose vegetarian food, I hope to pay attention to the balanced absorption of nutrients and avoid being affected by the unknown. After all, the only large-scale vegetarian country, our neighbor India, has not left a good impression on its citizens, both physically and intellectually.
As for the quality of culture, it is also the result of many factors. No civilization can last, and no culture can be invincible. In the temperate regions of the Eurasian continent, different nationalities have created civilizations that have lasted for a long time. And the disappearance of some of them is just the result of not adapting to environmental changes. Who knows whether the Anglo-Saxon civilization, which looks powerful now, will continue to maintain hegemony in the next few decades? Now the powerful popular culture in Hollywood, USA, can it be loved by young people in other countries if it is divorced from the powerful national strength of the United States?
Even a powerful immigration-based country like the United States has failed to give a satisfactory answer on racial integration. Even the United States, how can it be inferred that other countries can solve this problem perfectly?
Perhaps racial discrimination in human society will continue in the future.
To solve the problem, there are two potential solutions: either a single race destroys all other races, as our ancestor Homo sapiens did tens of thousands of years ago; Either by a single social value to achieve unity, can be the same religion, or the same philosophy, or a new social value. The former has proved to be unable to solve the substantive problems, and the latter has become the only choice. But it takes billions of people to agree on their ideas, unless all of them face a huge trouble at the same time, as described in the movie "20 12".
Irreversible natural disasters will bring us together. But what if the disaster is our own making? If the ecology is destroyed by human beings, or nuclear war finally breaks out, if there are any surviving human beings, will they become a whole?
Could it be that ethnic conflicts are also part of evolution, in order to keep the most powerful genes alive? Maybe we can't really abandon racism. We need ethnic conflicts to wipe out too many people and prevent the crisis from reaching an irreversible level.
Maybe at some point in the future, racism will become history. It may also be an end for the whole human history.
Who knows? !
