Everyone who's family has lived in North America for more than a few generations has at least some of both European and African ancestry. This means, that of these people, "black" Americans have European ancestors, and "white" nationalist Americans have African ancestors. We're all mutts, there's no "pure" anyone... just pure human.

Ancedotally: I'm an SAR member with non-tanning skin but have European, African and Asian/native American genes.

The conclusions: races are illusions and racism is completely idiotic. There are bigger things to worry about or look down on than which flavor of human a person ticks checkboxes for identity politics games.

Questions: Let's be honest, what is "diversity?" And then, why do organizations claim to be diverse when they either hire people that all look like them or hire only people that think or believe as do they? Isn't that the opposite of "diversity," but exclusive monoculture or groupthink?
