Like most African Americans Muhammad Ali is already mixed so his point is moot. He is like a slightly darker version of Stephen Curry’s sister believing she is magically 100% Black because all of her immediate relatives are light skin black. No he is already mixed with white and she is making his point moot. I’m not one to try to categorize people but if Muhammad Ali took a DNA test he is definitely in the 15-40% range of how White he is.
Also on Asians and identifying cultures that is all B.S a growing number of Asians are like me, mixed ethnicity with enthnicites from their countries which of course dilutes the culture. Thailand has a massive percentage of people who are of Thai and Chinese descent from Chinese immigrants who weren’t the same people that built the ancient Thai structures. Not to mention Thailand has ethnically homogenized to the point were different regions of Thailand that were clearly Lao speaking people, have now become Thai ethnically. China is the world’s biggest assimilated, they assimilated for centuries through unified government several different ethnic groups in China even in some cases completely eradicating scripts until today that they are just seen as Han Chinese ethnically. Currently be millions of Uighur in achina and Tibet are going through this process were these will eventually become majority Han Chinese regions because ethnic identification changes not really as much phenotype/genotype but culture.
This same thing is happening at different rates around the world. This is because the world is more Globalized and as a result 90% of the world is more homogenized culturally than it was just 400 years ago.
A big example is in Nigeria the Fulani used to be called just the Fulani and were nomadic peoples while the Hausa had Emirates and large cities. Today the Hausa and Fulani are so integrated that their often considered a unified ethnic identity, even though one ethnic group is known for being tall straight haired dark skinned nomadic folk and the other were city slickers. Today because the Hausa are predominantly Muslim many of their words have become common use in the Christian south through the Yoruba who are part Muslim and part Christian. Wallabies a word that was in the black panther movie is Arabic but is now part of Nigerian culture in general to the point were it can be found in art that represents Nigeria. This Greater Nigerianization is happening were many of the 250+ independent languages in Nigeria are slowly being Nigerianized and absorbed into different language groups as dialects. Rwanda it is now official that the words Hutu and Tutsi don’t exist in their constitution. The world overall had been homogenizing for centuries (Part of the resson Japan is even 99% one ethnicity in the first place), at one point Northern Honshu was mostly Ainu https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ainu_people who themselves are a kid of different former ethnic groups. Now all that really remains are the Japanese... America is doing the same thing, America is Americanizing it’s garious ethnic groups which is going to be a mix of all the mainstream cultures here. I imagine if anything by 2100 as the world over develops more America will be much more Mormon and Orthodox Jewish as well as White in general than anything else, just because those are the fastest growing populations of size in America.
Also Karl Marx is European educated with significant European genetics, who made a manifesto about Europeans for Europeans to spread to the world. Communism is a western ideology that was adopted by non-western people same with Democracy they both originate in Europe although different forms of Democracy can be find across the world at the same time, Roman ideals of Democracy is what has proliferated around the word as well as German-inspired communism which has lead to much of Cuba, China, Vietnam and Russia’s contemporary history.
Same thing with Middle East/Levant which while it wasn’t the only place with strong King’s influenced heavily the concept of Kings in the areas around them.
My point is the modern world is a product of homogenized cultures. You can’t protect something that is constantly changing from changing. It’s not like the U.S only had Brits and it’s not like Brits are only Angles, they are Anglo-Saxons and Saxon’s themselves are just part of Greater Germany which unified. Not to mention some areas like Italy northern Italians had various ethnicities that mixed to form modern day Italy, same with France, Germany, and especially Spain’s High is why their regions have different cultural aspects to this day even though their all French, German, Italian and Spanish.
You're two statements are in conflict with each other and no most people do not have a bit of Latino in them.
Well Latinos themselves are mixed with majority or plurality white and a minority that is Native American (I mean general America’s when saying this) or African. I have yet to here anyone say Latin America is cultures or isn’t diverse even though it is very mixed because culture isn’t tied with race it is tied with ethnicity which isn’t the same thing.
Also Karl Marx is European educated with significant European genetics, who made a manifesto about Europeans for Europeans to spread to the world. Communism is a western ideology that was adopted by non-western people same with Democracy they both originate in Europe although different forms of Democracy can be find across the world at the same time, Roman ideals of Democracy is what has proliferated around the word as well as German-inspired communism which has lead to much of Cuba, China, Vietnam and Russia’s contemporary history.
Oh yeah what a blessing that was...killing hundreds of millions in the process.
You can scream it until your are blue in the face but Marx was not of European ethnicity.
He was ethnically Middle-Eastern (Semitic), NOT European.
Sorry...those are the facts.
