I guess that means we are going to be very diverse anymore. We will all be the same. Has anyone thought about that? How are we going to continue to be diverse if we all will end up being the same?
A long time ago I saw an article in Time about this. It was a cover story and the model on the front was a computer composite of faces of different races. The point of the article was that the USA will eventually be largely brunettes with medium brown skin and almond-shaped eyes.
A friend in advertising recently told me that racially amorphous models are in high demand. In advertising you want models everyone can relate to personally, so you want models that white people will see as white and people of color will see as people of color. It does not matter what race the model really is, only that consumers see themselves in the model.
A big part of the identity of the USA is that it is a melting pot. Eventually yes you will get one dish from mixing all the ingredients together. But that is how it is for every distinct species on earth. If you let dogs just be dogs without all of the interference from humans to make breeds within a species, eventually most dogs would have the same characteristics like most other animals. Think about zebras and leopards. All zebras have stripes and it is only the individual pattern of stripe that makes each one different. Same with leopards and spots. Maybe that is how humans will be someday but the USA will be the first to reflect that because of all the different immigrants here. That won't make humans any less unique as individuals. It won't make Americans any less American either. You can always tell an American overseas. The joke is that if all else fails, look at the teeth.

Ha-ha, this "amorphous model" looks like some kind of Southern European ( or Hispanic may be) and I am sure that only CERTAIN people can relate to this model, in spite of claims that "everyone can relate to it personally." I don't see *other racial groups* in the US being able to relate to this image at all)))

No, it has been acknowledged already that it's rather a "tossed salad."

I have news for you - people are more complex creatures than zebras and leopards when it comes to mating, so the creation of this "homogeneous mixture" is not foreseeable in the future))))
Oh look who's on here. You might as well have listed every single European country!
I was thinking the same - these 3 countries he mentioned are so different in every aspect I'd like saying you like women from Slovenia, Greece, UK, France and Ukraine - but only them, not the rest...
Apart from English of course what's your favourite?
( oh and apart from Iceland as well )
What do you mean "Iceland "?! Well, I did used to like the English, but there's no contest now I've discovered Icelandic men, I'm afraid. They all seem to have the same nice eye/skin/hair colour.
Oh, and I went off Welsh men many years ago, because they are all a bunch of *****.
