I do not think racial diversity is better. I believe it is significantly worse.

I should also define what I mean by 'racial diversity' here.

1. It is perfectly fine for diverse racial groups to exist on the same planet at once.

2. There is no reason to try to reverse the racial diversity if your society is already made that way. In fact, it would be inethical given the extreme side-effects. I think it is practically impossible to reverse it without committing a lot of evil.

3. However, there is no inherent reason whatsoever, - absolutely none whatsoever - to deliberately make a society racially diverse when it is currently not.

My cynical attitude towards 'racial diversity crammed within one nation' is not something produced out of spite, but truly genuine.

The reason is that the racially diverse groups are seriously not showing good examples.

In fact, they create aggressive racial dynamics within their diverse country, get programmed to act and think aggressively PRECISELY BECAUSE OF THEIR DIVSERITY, then start to project it onto us, expanding their domestically-developed toxic dynamics.

They got it all 'figured out' by establishing toxic relationship based on their local past events,

and they project it onto us without even the slightest bit of doubt, and without giving a chance for a better route to develop.

They do not give us a choice either. It is clear from their popular narratives that they do not think we have the right to choose our own path with our own society.

They straight up claim that it is immoral for us not to make them part of our population, for instance.

They do not even speak our language and have zero clue how we actually feel and think internally, but cherry-pick whatever minority opinions from atypical people among us that cater to their views, reinforcing them.

In the meanwhile, they overestimate how educated they are with regard to racial dynamics because of their diversity, (1) disregarding the fact that they are extremely, horrendously ignorant with events and dynamics happening in a different society, and (2) disregarding the fact that what they're getting in their region is a purely local brand of racial mini-model simulation that does not apply elsewhere. They have extremely arbitrary social experiment going on with their particular brand of distorted models, get ideas from it, than apply it to us, thinking we would be the same as theirs.

And because these distortions underpin the entirety of their way of thinking, everything they say to us is basically built on shit. It may apply to their region, but they don't have the slightest clue what they're talking about when it comes to us. Yet they aggressive say stuff to us, and about us.

I think racial diversity crammed in one country results in very bad things. I think this is the reality.

One might argue the main problem lies in being too readily judgemental, not racial diversity per se.

My answer to that argument is that it is pretty easy for humans to be judgemental, so given that human nature, racial diversity within one nation creates a very bad combination.

I would also like to add that racial so called diversity was mainly created by invasion and slavery. These things are of forced and invasive nature, and now they are attempting to beautify it and mobilize it for their moral high ground and cultural attacks, expanding the invasion elsewhere. I mean.. if it ended up being good, I would've been willing to overlook its initial nature but with a result like this?

It's as if beating up people who look like me within their respective countries is not enough so they gotta expand that violence outward. And it always starts with villifying narratives.

Realistically you can't fix the judgemental nature of human beings, so cramming in different racial groups into one country is basically a very bad idea unless yours have already taken an irreversible route in that direction so you have to make do with that particular route. That's a different situation entirely, which I seriously wish we won't have to deal with.

-Narrow eyes, round face, huge cheekbones, low nose bridge. Always this particular face type. It is kind of obligatory.

-Tan

-Shittiest possible makeup that makes your eyes look as swollen as possible & your overall face like a burning sweet potato. Literally the shittiest makeup you can humanly come up with

-Bad fashion sense

-Long pin-straight hairstyle regardless of your face type because you’re Korean or something. As if it is a symbol for “Korean”.

And when actual Koreans, who often do not look like this nor do this to our faces, get out of this box of arbitrary-af racist stereotype, they call us “whitewashed”.

This applies not just to white people but also (or even mainly) to POC who want to throw shit in our direction for all sorts of petty, competitive, misguided, or straight up malevolent racist reasons.

This is one of many reasons why I oftentimes don’t sympathize much with Asian Americans (...along with other Americans, not just them to be fair lol). They sort of act as if this is the ‘correct representation’, otherwise it’s “toxic beauty standards”.

This notion is racist as hell.

When an American company had a chance to present a Korean female skater from South Korea, they used this shitty makeup method and made her face look manifestly darker than she actually is to fit her into their racist box. It is not too much unlike an Asian equivalent of ‘blackface’ except they did it on her own face. Needless to say they were not successful with their business here.

In their region, I think it is lowkey considered obligatory to distance an Asian person’s look and representation as far away as Caucasians as possible just for the sake of affirmative action. The result is that only the polar-opposite of the so-called “Caucasian face type (I have a problem with this term)” is allowed to be represented as a positive and proper Asian face. Another result is that the overlapping elements (a high nose bridge or light skin for instance) are obligatorily assigned to the white race, giving them a monopoly over these facial features. Asians are not allowed to have those features because it is supposed to primarily belong to white people and to represent Asians with that kind of look would be considered catering to “Eurocentric / toxic beauty standards”.

From white people’s point of view, they do the same thing because they accentuate the aspects of Asian face that are different or polar-opposite from their own as much as possible with a self-centered tendency. This can be seen especially clearly from the way they oftentimes draw Asians. They tend to draw in accordance with a series of fixed codified notions on what Asians are supposed to look like, and these codified notions tend to revolve around ‘what is opposite from them’. The result includes things like unnatural tan skin tone or selectively un-stylized eyes portion of the picture (just to accentuate on their notion of what it should be) that would’ve otherwise just equally be stylized as the rest of the image. A stylistic choice in and of itself is not problematic, just that it is worth pointing out their particular way of stylizing Asian image shows that their notion revolves around what is ‘Not Caucasian’.

I wouldn’t be as lowkey disgusted by the repetition of this selective race-agenda-driven representation if it wasn’t for them getting out of their way to call us walking toxic beauty standards just for existing with better makeup, fashion sense, and in a different climate, where ice-fishing exists in the winter, with a highly sedentary lifestyle. We are not bound by the political necessity to ‘distance our representation as much as possible from Caucasians’ appearance’ either. The result is we don’t give a fuck whether it “overlaps with white people or not” we don’t care and we don’t think about white people much. We are not obsessed with white people nor race in general. The result is we don’t have the same agenda as them, and these race-obsessed Americans blame us for our skin color or facial features or the representation thereof calling it an incorrect or toxic representation for all the wrong (and highly regional) reasons. When they can’t call it that because it’s just a passer-by and not a tv representation, their next step is to call it fake or bleached, debating on whether that person faked their skin color. (Because they can’t call a regular, accidental passer-by a “toxic” “REPRESENTATION” anymore.) They take away elements of natural spectrum of Korean appearance from its rightful ethnicity by dismissing them as white features at the slightest resemblence and call them products of cosmetic surgeries aimed at looking like white people. Never have I seen such thorough, all-out, un-reserved pathological white worshippers as these people, yet they throw around this accusation that squarely belongs to themselves. What they are doing is elevating white people on a pedestal while putting us under their feet by stealing Korean facial features and offering their ownership to white people. I couldn’t think of a better real-life manifestation of white-worshipping than this even if I tried on purpose. My grandfather is not “whitewashed” for having a nose bridge as high as Caucasians. He is fully, thoroughly Korean. My entire family is not “whitewashed” for having double eyelids. I’m not “whitewashed” for having a skin lighter than a huge chunk of Southern Europeans.

So when it comes to this image agenda, both groups (POC and white) basically see us as a ‘race’ before humans or individuals. They see us either as a tool for their regional agenda, or the burning sweet potato stereotype rather than humans or individuals. It is disgusting.

I was already aware of this racist flow before a black American IRL asked me to fill out a survey on “beauty standards in South Korea”. Which sort of worked like a last drop in the bucket for me and I started to lash out on this issue, frankly with full justification. I know they have unique political needs in their region so I didn’t criticize anything in this regard in the past, but the story changes when they get all up on our faces telling us we are walking toxic beauty standards.

Multiculturalism is a failure and they don’t just stay as a regional failure but bleed onto my country as well. They go racist on us, attacking us with their regionally-generated pathological viewpoint.

I am not a walking “toxic beauty standard”. You are racist.

The fact that you feel the necessity to aggressively lie about verifiable facts is revealing of how much you trust your own arguments. i.e. Even you don't trust them.

If you feel like you are a victim of racism or xenophobia a lot, what you should do is not try and argue that 'so-and-so ethnicity does not exist' - which is a lie -

but you should rather argue despite that these differences exist, those differences are peripheral and not essential.

This type of issue has to do with value judgement, and you should tackle it as such.

You do not tackle it by saying 'so-and-so race / ethnicity does not exist' which does not make any sense.

Even if a given ethnic group or racial group's genetic boundaries are somewhat fuzzy and not perfectly clear-cut,

the different genetic groups clearly do exist. Their boundaries being a bit fuzzy does not merit saying 'they do not exist'. They're still groups that exist with slightly fuzzy boundaries.

Do you want to build your narratives based on lies?

I wouldn't do that no matter how desparate I am.

In fact, the more desparate I am, the more care I would put into making my claims convincing - the last thing I would do is build my arguments based on lies.

What's more, to (falsely) claim that some ethnic group that is not yours 'does not exist' is a deliberate attempt at erasing that group and is extremely politically incorrect.

Something you wouldn't want returned in your direction.

This problem gets even more severe considering the fact that the presence of an ethnic group is oftentimes not limited to the genetic dimension but also historical. With thousands of years' worth history connected to that ethnic boundary.

Can I just name the devil?

Some black people from Western countries try to claim that my ethnic group 'does not exist'. I don't think their number's huge enough at this point, but the way they were getting a free pass with this type of act seemed to hint that there was a potentially extremely hypocritical and dangerous double standard going on.

The further they get stuck up their own asses with these deranged narratives, the more chasm they will create between different human groups until we wouldn't want to even look at each other.

They also show a good example of how not to fight an oppression. Some people just continue creating more evil. More lies, more distortions, more oppressions that will not even cancel out the previous one but simply create another chain effect that will likely be returned to you, which will actually add to your previous ordeals.

Frankly, I do not see this type of act as something limited to that particular small population directly responsible for saying it aloud. What I find more significant is how that opinion is received by others in their countries.

Building self-love is easily ten billion times more important than anything else.

It is a matter of life and death.

Previously, it seems I did not actually believe this deep down.

But I think I do now.

Without it, you die.

I didn't have a clear enough idea of what 'prioritizing myself' meant either.

I'm so much more than this tbh.

It is cruelty that I had to grow up with this emotional blackmail.

It is cruelty that I still feel this way to this very day.

Either I can't be honest or when I am, I feel like I have to deal with the consequences for the mere honest expressions.

Because she can't take it.

The incapacity to take it is disgusting and cruel.

People with depression should not have kids.

Parents weakness at the formative stage of a kid is a crime and a cruelty, and this relationship remains the same even after you grow up.

Under these conditions, I would probably not give it too much of a thought and take whatever that is given to me considering how fixed and unchangeable they are.
