Just found an excerpt from an actual essay I had to do for a writing class that I now can't believe I wrote. It cracked me up though!

...
In the old days, races were considered so concrete and distinct that humans of different race were almost regarded as different species. Crossbreeding between races is still frequently looked down on; one can imagine what this practice would have entailed a hundred years ago.

Despite biological finding that "races" are essentially identical, with genetic variations among races being no greater overall than those of individuals considered to be members of the same "race", many still hold curious views on race. For example, many believe that blacks as a race are innately better athletes and that asians excel at quantitative tasks making them good at challenging technical professions.

In reality, these perceived differences arise from culture and environment; blacks living in the United States often come from disadvantaged families where athletics is their salient outlet and academics takes a back seat because of residual distrust of the white culture and what it stands for, while asians are often immigrants and children of immigrants with educated backgrounds who are also culturally brought up to be goal-oriented and conditioned almost like athletes to climb the academic ladder.

The perceived differences between the races aren't genetic; indeed the widely held belief of the early 20th century that they are has led to some dangerous ideas and criminal practice. If the white race is inherently superior to the black race, blacks carry unwanted detrimental genes, and therefore should be forbidden to breed with whites. Indeed many believed that the white "race" is "dying" because of the dysgenic plunge into inferiority caused by mingling genes with the "inferior races". The races believed to be inferior weren't just blacks (though blacks were the extreme case) but just about every race excepting whites of Anglo-Saxon descent which dominated the upper culture. If an entire race of people carries genes that are undesirable and detrimental to humanity as a whole, it is not a great leap to conclude that members of this race should not be permitted to reproduce at all, that the race should be eliminated off the face of the Earth altogether for the good of mankind. It is ideas such as this that led to Hitler and the infamous holocaust.

On a smaller scale, over much of the 20th century in the United States (and elsewhere), women that were believed to possess bad genes were often sterilized against their will. There is a difficult moral issue here. By allowing someone with bad genes to reproduce, one is allowing that individual in fact to ruin the life of the offspring by bestowing it with bad traits (such as poor health or low intelligence), traits which not only shall make life for the individual difficult and relatively unrewarding, but shall make the individual him/herself an unproductive and unbeneficial member of society. It looks appealing from a purely detached and rational standpoint, an attempt to engineer society, indeed humanity itself for the better via eugenics.

Even though not everyone will agree on what a better human being necessarily entails, the consensus can be reached that it is desirable to have less crime, less poverty, more industry and productivity and scientific and technological advancements, among other things. The problems seem to be the moral ramifications. Most people have undesirable genes of some sort, and with full genetic information available it will be difficult to draw the line and reach a decision of who should be able to reproduce how much. Further, people don't choose to be born with bad genes and it is obviously oppressive and almost savage to take away their most basic natural right for something they don't have control over. Furthermore, reproduction via sex may not be a traditional practice much longer thanks to advancements in biomedical technology so it would only be natural for full-fledged genetic engineering of the human race to take over entirely. Perhaps this would make for a good equalizing ground: no one is legally permitted to reproduce via sex no matter the quality of one's genes; rather, completely artificial procedures would be used in all cases.

For the remaining decade or so until this inevitably happens though, it is a healthy practice to crossbreed between geographically diverse backgrounds which is more likely to amalgamate strong dominant traits from different genetic hierarchies and fluff away the few potentially troublesome recessives. For instance it would be healthy to mix a purebred mongoloid and a Seraphidic Jew because the geographic separation of these two peoples resulted in different evolutionary tracks and slightly different composition of gene pools which resulted from environments demanding different adaptations that may complement one another.

hm some interesting matters in that.. which is what i like the most. like deciding how to evaluate the "unknown", and deciding against "right until proven wrong", maybe "wrong until proven right", and many things in between and how easily the human mind can begin to believe something etc. etc.
