When it comes to hair and eye color, hair texture, skin tone, and physiognomic characteristics, Caucasians exhibit far more diversity than any other "race". I think that this is highly unfair. My solution:

Individuals exhibiting rare physical characteristics will be gathered from around the world (so from Europe and the European diaspora and from the Middle East, obviously, but also from certain populations in East Asia and Oceania) and settled in some sparsely-populated region. There, they will be encouraged to have as many children as possible. Once those children reach reproductive age, excess individuals will be relocated to parts of the world with less physical diversity (such as East Asia and sub-Saharan Africa), with the hope that they will introduce their diversity into the native population.

Thoughts?

Beyond anything else, sub-Saharan Africans show by far the most genetic diversity of any human "race". Your "solution" would work better with Africans.

Also, this is mentally deranged.

Hey guys, do you know how we could make other races better? Forcedly interbreed them with whites to make them more white.

I am aware. However, that genetic diversity does not manifest itself in physical diversity*, which is what this thread is about.

*Unless one lumps Khoisan and Pygmy people in with black Africans. Which I suppose that one could, since race is entirely made-up anyway.

Surely if you really wanted to boost diversity, genetic diversity is ultimately far more important than physical diversity? Seeing as a lack of genetic diversity could lead to a lack of adaptability, while a lack of physical variation doesn't really matter at all.

Light eye and hair colours simply aren't very advantageous in the tropics. They come with decreased melanin production and nobody wants a lack of melanin in Africa.

If I weren't trolling, I would say that genetic diversity is the more important of the two. Since I am trolling, I'll say that you can't see genetic diversity, so I don't care as much about it.

True. Though, by that same token, couldn't you say that nobody wants to have too much melanin in Canada or Scandinavia? Perhaps being a fair-complected African is just worse than not absorbing the proper amount of Vitamin D from the Sun.

I understand what you're trying to do here, but let me reiterate that this was not a good idea.

May Dave have mercy on you.

If you're proposing making everyone multi-racial, you have my full support Smiley

Indeed. The people in this thread will no doubt be relieved to learn that I am not actually a crazy person... or, I am crazy enough to come up with an idea like this, but not crazy enough to want to see it implemented.

Non-white people also have plenty of distinguishing traits, it's just that white people are less able to recognize them than they are with other white people (and vice versa for other races). When humans are born, they can distinguish traits between faces of individuals within other races with just as much ease as with members of their own race and can even distinguish between the faces of individual monkeys. However, this ability greatly diminishes within the first year of life as newborn babies are typically raised and surrounded by individuals of the same race.

White people are not diverse in any way (lives in white suburbia)

Africans: Skin color: Dark brown, yellow (Khoisan), brown (Pygmies); Eye color: Dark brown; Hair Color: Black

Aborigines: Skin color: Dark brown; Eye color: Dark brown; Hair color: Black, brown, blond, red (rare)

Asians: Skin color: White, brown, yellow, red (Native Americans); Eye color: Dark brown; Hair color: Black, red (rare)

Caucasians: Skin color: White, pink, beige, brown; Hair color: Black, brown, blond, red; Eye color: Brown, blue, green, gray

You can see why I think that that diversity ought to be spread around.
