1. The European population has not declined since WWII, in fact, it has only increased, just not as fast as other groups, who now find themselves overburdened with high-birth rate that makes economic growth doubly difficult.
2. Europeans are not facing the plight of extinction, far from it. Any group with hundreds of millions of specimen is not “endangered”.
3. Ask any anthropologist, Caucasian (actually it should be Cacusoid as Caucasian specifically refers to the inhabitants of Caucasus Mountains) race spans from western Europe to central Asia, from Northern Europe to Northern Africa. Obviously, you define “Caucasian race” quite differently from the real race experts, hence the under-estimated population size.
Your three points were all that you derived from my comments?
Go back and read it again.
3 factual inaccuracies in your statement:
1. The European population has not declined since WWII, in fact, it has only increased, just not as fast as other groups, who now find themselves overburdened with
high-birth rate that makes economic growth doubly difficult.
Let's see, you read the original article and my commentary and still haven't figured out that we were talking about a decline in percentage of the caucasion population base in relationship to the world's population. No I did not express that exact topic in the paragraph you responded to, but the pararaph just prior to it did. There was no topic change so would think that if you tried real hard you might understand what I was talking about. But then perhaps I'm giving you too much credit. Sorry if I am.
2. Europeans are not facing the plight of extinction, far from it. Any group with hundreds of millions of specimen is not “endangered”.
Any group that is declining as a percentage of the whole as the caucasian race is, is in danger of losing it's ability to self-govern. That is a critical aspect of this topic which I didn't mention, but that any relatively well informed sixth grader should be able to extrapolate. And as for endangered, sorry bud, a few hundred million becomes less significant as the total increases beyond 6 billion. By the time it's 12 billion the caucasian populace will still be at a level reatively similar to what they are today. The topic of declining figures and replacement rates is mentioned in this article.
3. Ask any anthropologist, Caucasian (actually it should be Cacusoid as Caucasian specifically refers to the inhabitants of Caucasus Mountains) race spans from
western Europe to central Asia, from Northern Europe to Northern Africa. Obviously, you define “Caucasian race” quite differently from the real race experts,
hence the under-estimated population size.
Are you really so shallow as not to know that caucasian is a term used to describe whites and has been for decades? I didn't coin it myself. If you want to press the issue, perhaps it should only apply to the caucasus, but since when has that been implemented?
As with most articles I write, there are a few who simply cannot grasp the issues, so they complain about non-dotted Is and non-crossed Ts. There were no factual inaccuracies in my comments. There were simply non-factual perceptions. Thanks for playing.
